She wrote, “Happy birthday to my babe @rachelkolisi you are adored beyond.”
It appears Rachel’s birthday was filled with moments of relaxation and reflection. In one of her Instagram stories, she mentioned spending some time in Cape Town at the Light House Holistic Well-being center, a space she described as more than just a yoga studio. “Recently did a deep dive of the importance of our nervous systems and what a pivotal role it plays in a healing process. So incorporating yoga this year in my workout schedule. Found the most divine spot: Light House Holistic, which is so much more than yoga,” she wrote.
The Light House Holistic Well-being is an inner-city wellness clubhouse that offers a variety of services, including yoga, workshops, and collaborative events. The space aims to nurture community and connection by providing a hub for self-reflection, learning, and overall well-being. Rachel’s choice to celebrate her birthday there reflects her focus on personal growth and healing, especially after a year of challenges.
