Honoring Raetta
This week a treasured member of our community and a dear friend, Raetta Holdman, passed away. I am grateful to have visited with her several times in her last weeks sharing healing energy, laughter, and stories, as well as telling her how much she was loved and appreciated the day before she died.
Raetta began coming to my Saturday morning yoga classes nearly two decades ago. Her consistency and persistence were not only hallmarks of her yoga practice, but of who she was in the world. She was always quick with a wry remark and witty humor to go along with her kindness, compassion, and advocacy for others. Her passing is a reminder that we are only promised the present moment and how important it is to let our people know how much they are loved and valued.
Please join me via Zoom for Saturday Morning Yoga as we show up on the mat to pause, listen to our bodies, and care for ourselves with lovingkindness.
