Strong for Summer (and for life)

When you hear the word “yoga,” what physical image comes to mind? Is the first thought or image a flexible pose? Maybe a VERY flexible person? Well, if you are visiting my site, I hope that one of the first thoughts that you have is in relation to how much STRENGTH it takes to practiceContinue reading “Strong for Summer (and for life)”

Grow Your Pose Yoga Hike

I’ll admit that I feel a bit silly running around in public taking pictures. I’ve said it before. I’m sure that I’ll end up on influencers in the wild doing something absurd. Yet, I persist. And really, I’m genuinely excited to share my love of movement (MoveMint 😉) and nature with people who share thoseContinue reading “Grow Your Pose Yoga Hike”

Kayaking at Lake Wilgreen

The first time I went kayaking was around 8 years ago. I went to Tempe Town Lake and absolutely loved it. I knew that I wanted a kayak just from that one outing. It took a few years, but when I moved to Kentucky, one of the first things that I did was to buyContinue reading “Kayaking at Lake Wilgreen”

Rock Climbing at Cathedral Domain

😭 I FINALLY made it climbing outside again! I will be the first person to admit that I am NOT an expert climber. Now, don’t get me wrong with what I am about to say- I absolutely love pushing myself.

South Carolina Beach Yoga Trip

The beach is my happy place. Remember when I said that my next adventure was going to be a big one? Most of my childhood summer vacations were to somewhere in nature.

April Yoga Hike

April showers bring May flowers. And for some reason only crazy people go hiking in the rain. I happen to be one of those people. It isn’t usually all that bad if you wear hiking shoes with good tread. It is usually very cold rain. There are two really good things about hiking on rainyContinue reading “April Yoga Hike”

First YouTube Video

I published my first video on YouTube! This is not so much a flow, as a pre-yoga or pre-workout warmup. I find that if I jump right into a yoga class, it can be a bit uncomfortable on my wrists, hips, or hamstrings. So I usually do some mobility work before I start a class.Continue reading “First YouTube Video”

Day 5: “Why is a raven like a writing desk?” this riddle is asked, but not answered by the Hatter. What do you think the answer is? 🧐 Alice’s struggles to get into the garden are like the kind of day where everything is *just* off enough so that nothing seems to go right.

Alice’s Adventures in Instagram Part 1 of 2

I don’t think that it is a secret that I’m a book nerd. So when an #AloInWonderland challenge popped up, and was hosted by some friends of mine, I knew that I had to join. This is really the first time I’ve edited photos other than throwing one of the preset color enhancing filters onContinue reading “Alice’s Adventures in Instagram Part 1 of 2”
