The practice of ritual has existed in ancient cultures around the world for centuries.

It is one of the great common threads that connects all humanity.

Ritual infuses purpose and meaning into our actions to create a lasting imprint on mind, body and spirit. The essential power of ritual practice is intention and consistency—these are the seeds of true transformation. The way we place our attention dictates the way our day—and our life—unfolds.

When we consistently turn the energy of our attention toward the highest good for all beings and all things, we commit to evolution, healing and love. The morning yoga practices on Gaia are designed to support your desire for a regular practice (Yoga Every Day) and give you reusable tools for daily transformation and spiritual growth (Sunrise Yoga).

Consistently start your day with intention and unlock the power of an ancient global tradition. Join some of the world’s most productive people who have already discovered the benefits of a morning routine.
