My Story
Hi, I’m Kether—barefoot trail runner, yogi, and wild wanderer—creator of Spunky Mind. I created Trail Built Yoga for trail bodies and wild minds and write the Off Road Barefoot Blog—all inspired by the ways nature builds alive, wild bodies and curious, untamed minds.
Spunky Mind was born on the trails. Trotting ridgelines gave me freedom, and yoga taught me how to listen. Together with forest bathing, they became a way to live fully—wild, curious, and alive.
Spunky Mind is where yoga, wild awareness, trail roaming, and nature’s wonder come out to play.
Hitting the trails in barefoot sandals plugs me straight into the earth, every step a spark of trail magic. Off the run, I carry that vibe into Trail Built Yoga™—where forest bathing meets strength, flow, and recovery. A way of moving and breathing with nature wrapped around me. Barefoot, laced up, or somewhere in between—everyone’s invited.
I grew up in forests and mountains where every leaf and bird call felt like a secret worth listening to. Since then, I’ve lived a multi-faceted adventure—teaching in physics lecture halls, founding and running a local business for two decades, unrolling yoga mats for calm, roaming trails for joy, and drifting through forest bathing walks into wide-open Zen discoveries.
Through all life’s seasons—sunlit highs, shadowy lows, and all the rainbow skies in between—nature and yoga have been my compass, always guiding me back to joy, creativity, and presence.
Spunky Mind is nature's open invitation:
Step into this space, breathe with the trees, move with intention, and let curiosity be our guide. Together, let's explore playfully, live vibrantly, and wander through life with a cheerful sense of wonder for
Active Zen Living—Dirty Zen in Motion.
Cheers!
