The Crown Chakra (Sahasrara)

Finally we come to the Crown Chakra, or Sahasrara. Here we reach a deep connection with our higher consciousness and inner knowing, achieving oneness and unity. Letting go of attachments and control, releasing earthly karma, and enjoying life as it is. This allows a peaceful, graceful transition in to the best version of life you can experience. Understanding that we are all simply energetic beings experiencing a human life.

Work with Me Hi! My name is Betsy. I am a 300 hour yoga teacher and Reiki master practitioner. For 20 years, I worked as a child care provider and elderly caregiver. Yoga and Reiki helped to keep me centered, taking me out of my head to settle my heart. I've spent years learning to calm my nervous system and improve my mindset through trial and error. I'm so happy to be able to use my experience to help others going through the same! I offer Reiki and private online yoga sessions, recorded classes, and so much more!
