Meet The Team

Hi! My name is Alexis Kraft. In February 2022 my husband, pup, and I moved to Raleigh from Rochester, NY. We are enjoying downtown Raleigh city life and expecting a little one in August 2023! One of my favorite hobbies is taking my dog on walks and hikes, leading me to the WOTTHC. In addition, I have a huge passion for yoga and have been a student for many years. In 2020, I chose to complete a RYT-200 certification to become a yoga instructor and it completely changed my life. I left my career as an auditor and created a flexible work schedule for myself in order to teach yoga and work as a CPA for a Non-Profit based organization in Rochester, NY. Yoga meets WOTTHC and here I am! I am so excited to share the love I have for yoga with the club and the benefits of adding yoga to your hiking day or your every day!

I’ve lived in Cary for 30 years and I’ve been practicing yoga for 25. I love hiking and being outdoors and am excited to combine hiking and yoga with this inspirational group of ladies! I joined WOTTHC about a year ago after retiring from teaching middle school math and have met interesting people on every hike I've taken. I got my yoga certification in 2015 and practice traditional Eastern yoga incorporating meditation and pranayama in my practice. I like to experiment, or play, through my yoga practices by combining asanas in a way that best meets my students' needs. I believe that “yoking” the mind, body, and spirit through yoga is an essential practice for everyone, regardless of experience, and I look forward to our future shared experiences. Namaste!

Originally from the Midwest, I've lived in several beautiful places throughout the United States and moved to North Carolina during the pandemic. I was thrilled to join WOTTHC in the spring of 2022 and start exploring the amazing trails in the area, while meeting equally amazing women. I'm lucky to join the team as a yoga leader - leading yoga after hikes. I look forward to meeting you on the trails and on your yoga mats!
