There has been a death in the Yoga Community of Omaha, Nebraska.
A longtime and beloved Yogi/Yoga teacher, piano player/teacher, dancer/choreographer, singer/choral orchestrater, has died. Keefer Peterson has touched so many hearts with his massive talent, his love, and his care for all who he shared those incredible gifts with. As a result, so many hearts are aching.
Below is his last post on Facebook (which is also a good place to find more details and to see how many people’s lives were touched by this wonderful man):
Hi, everyone! NAMASTE!
I’m in the hospital and not sure until when, hopefully out sometime this week!
Breathe deeply and chant ommmm for me, please!
Peace & Light
When I opened my Yoga studio in 2007, he was the very first teacher I contacted to teach at my studio. He was the most exuberant, likeable, and full-of-life soul. His smile was infectious, and he lit up the room. His personal legacies live on.
May the longtime light shine upon you, Keefer. Sat Nam.
