appropriate way.”

“I've never felt so safe and accepted in an exercise class. Not just Rae was amazing, but she fostered an environment where everyone was just as accepting and supportive of each other. And the class was so accessible that I felt confident in myself and not self conscious about my ability level. It was truly amazing.”
