🖤 The Raven Heart 🖤

Some see us as a yoga studio.
Some see us as a healing sanctuary.
Some come to move their bodies.
Some come to tend their hearts.

The truth is, we are a safe space offering many different modalities to support healing and the expansion of consciousness.

This is a place to reconnect with your truth.
To remember the inner light that remains steady, even when life feels uncertain.
When you trust it, that light knows how to guide you forward.

As we move into 2026, we remain committed to holding space with care, integrity, and deep presence.
Keep listening to your body.
Find your medicine and know that your medicine will change as you do.
Every day will be different.
Trust your own direct experience.
Be proud of yourself.
Acknowledge all that you are.

If you feel tired, unmotivated, or quietly resistant right now, nothing is wrong with you.
You are responding accurately to a false timing.
Winter is still in your bones.
Integration is still happening.
Something quieter, deeper, and wiser is reorganizing beneath the surface.
Enter this year gently.

Our intention is simple:
To create a space of love and presence,
where self-discovery, connection to your heart’s truth,
and recognition of your own divinity can naturally unfold.

We look forward to stepping into 2026 with you and all that it has to bring 🖤

Place your hand on your heart.
Close your eyes.
Let yourself move slowly. ✨

✨January’s Floating Meditations✨

January 8th & 22nd

Come rest and renew🖤

Our silk hammocks provide a comfortable and protective chrysalis that hold our guests gently while on their personal journey of transformation. In this womb like experience you will connect to your breath allowing yourself to move through any fear that may arise, creating safety within your nervous system, before completely cocooning yourself in.

During this time you will experience a guided meditation and the sensations of being held and supported in your physical body while allowing a deeper connection with your mind and soul.

The benefits of a floating meditation are plenty.

✨Healing In Space ✨

During this experience you will be invited to release deep layers of tension stored within the physical and energetic body. As you cocoon you will embrace the way the fabric hugs you, as your weight spreads across its silk fibers. The micro movements that result from being suspended in the air are reminiscent of the way water massages you in a bath or being in the womb.

Just by lying in the hammock and doing nothing else, the nervous system is fed and noursished beyond what we can achieve by lying on the ground, and the proprioceptive system (the part of our nervous system that helps us know where our body is in space) gets a whole new level of feedback.

The journey is yours to explore ✨

1 Floating Meditation - $30+hst
5 Float Pass - $130+hst (6 month expiry)
Weight limit: 375lbs
Private group sessions available ✨

✨ Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas to our beautiful Raven Heart community - Teachers, students, clients 🤍

As this year comes to a close, my heart is full of gratitude for each and every one of you. Thank you for the love, trust, and support you’ve shown this sacred space throughout the year. It truly means more to me than words can express. 🙏

Practicing together, breathing together, resting together, sharing stories, laughter, and moments of stillness, this community has become such a meaningful part of my life. The Raven Heart is what it is because of you🖤

As we move through the holiday season, I invite you to pause… to soften… and to notice what you’re grateful for, big or small. May the coming days be filled with love, warmth, rest, and gentle moments of connection with those who matter most.

Thank you for being part of this journey, this sanctuary, and this ever-unfolding circle of healing. ✨🕯️

✨Full Moon Om Bath & Sacred Sound Journey✨

We are excited to be sharing space with you again!

Sign up on the MINDBODY app.
Investment: $45+hst (payment must be sent via email - theravenheartsanctuary@gmail.com - at the time of registration to confirm your spot)

Join us for a sacred gathering that will harmonizes sound, stillness, and celestial energy. This ritual invites participants into a state of deep energetic cleansing and spiritual alignment.

Come chant with us or sit in the vibration.
You don’t want to miss this powerful experience✨

Together we will check in with how we are feeling as we connect with the Full Moon Energy. We will chant 30 minutes and then rest in the silence, followed by a Sacred Sound Journey.

Om, also known as Aum, is considered to be the most sacred and powerful mantra. It is said to represent the essence of the universe and all creation. Chanting has the ability to focus the mind, channel the breath and connect us to a higher power, something calm and divine. It is a holistic experience that brings together the entire body, mind and spirit. As we chant together, we immerse ourselves in the rhythm creating a sacred space around us.

The healing benefits of Om extend beyond self. When we chant Om collectively, the positive vibrations resonate and create a powerful energy field. This collective energy can amplify the positive effects of chanting, creating a supportive and uplifting environment for all ✨

The journey is yours to explore 🖤
