Meet Karen: A Heart of Dedication, Growth & Service ✨

If you’ve practiced with us for a while, you’ve likely already felt Karen’s grounded presence and her devotion to the work we do here at The Raven Heart.

Karen first joined our community in September 2022 as a student, showing up week after week with curiosity, openness, and a deep commitment to her own healing and practice. Over time, she became woven into the fabric of our space, not just through attendance, but through the way she embodied the heart of our studio: presence, connection, and genuine care.

This past summer, Karen stepped into an energy exchange role, supporting classes, teachers, and students with so much grace and reliability. Her willingness to learn, grow, and serve made it clear that she was becoming a pillar within our community.

And now, we are so honoured to officially welcome her into the role of:
Studio Operations & Creative Assistant.

In this role, Karen will continue weaving her dedication into the daily rhythm of the studio, supporting operations, bringing creative projects to life, and helping ensure that every person who walks through our doors feels held, welcomed, and supported.

Karen’s journey is a reminder that when we follow what nourishes our soul, we naturally find ourselves in the places meant for us.

Please join us in welcoming her into this new chapter.
We’re so grateful for her presence, her devotion, and the energy she brings to The Raven Heart. 🤍✨

At the 11th hour, on the 11th day, of the 11th month,
we pause.

We remember the brave souls who walked through unimaginable darkness so that we may walk in peace.
We remember not only their sacrifice, but the human spirit’s enduring capacity for courage, compassion, and hope.

May our silence be more than stillness,
may it be a prayer for peace,
a promise to live with empathy,
and a moment to honour all who carry unseen wounds of war.

🕯 Two minutes of silence. Infinite gratitude.

Our hearts are with all those who continue to fight silent battles. May we continue to heal together.

🤍Indian Head Massage🤍

Book your appointment today!
60 mins treatment: $95+hst
Book via the MINDBODY app or send us a message!

At The Raven Heart, Indian Head Massage is more than a treatment, it’s an act of self care that deeply nurtures the body, clears the mind, and restores energetic balance.

Rooted in ancient Ayurvedic tradition, this ritual focuses on the chest, shoulders, neck, scalp, face and upper back. Areas where tension, stress, and unspoken emotion often collect. Through rhythmic movements, gentle pressure, and intentional touch, stagnant energy begins to move… the body exhales, the mind softens, and the spirit returns to stillness.

✨ Physical Benefits
•Relieves tension headaches and jaw tightness
•Improves blood and lymphatic flow
•Stimulates hair growth and nourishes the scalp
•Releases shoulder and neck strain from daily stress

✨Energetic & Emotional Benefits
•Clears heaviness from the crown and third eye chakras
•Balances prana (life force energy) through the upper chakras & marma points
•Supports deep rest, clarity, and nervous system regulation
•Invites grounding while opening the pathways to higher awareness

✨Spiritual Essence
Each session honours the marma points, the sacred meeting places of body, energy, and consciousness. As these portals awaken, the subtle body begins to harmonize, guiding the spirit toward stillness and integration. Clients often describe feeling “lighter,” “clearer,” or more connected to something deeper within.

✨A Gift of Healing ✨

As we move toward the holidays, this offering makes a beautiful gift for loved ones, caregivers, or yourself.
Give the experience of stillness, release, and deep restoration.

Karma Classes - This Sunday: Somatic Yoga

All donations for November & December will be going to

“Strengthen your heart muscles by removing the sufferings of others.” — Amit Ray

We are excited to share that our Karma Classes are returning to Sunday mornings at 10:00am-11:00am.
You can join by signing up on the MINDBODY app.
Donations will be received before class at the front desk.

The word Karma comes from the Sanskrit term meaning “action” or “deeds.” Karma Yoga is the path of selfless action — serving others without expectation of reward.

Karma Classes are about giving back, reaching out, and supporting meaningful change in our community. These classes are open to everyone and are donation-based. 100% of all funds raised go directly to non-profit organizations or are reinvested into our community through other charitable initiatives.

We are deeply grateful for the ongoing love and support from everyone who makes these classes possible — our teachers, students, and community.

These classes are suitable for all-level. Whether you’re coming with a friend, a partner, or on your own, we welcome you to join us — to breathe, move, and support a greater cause together.
