We Make Mindfulness Fun

Our son, Jack, is 10 years old and has been diagnosed with ADHD, OCD, anxiety and autism for 8 years. Approximately a year ago we started doing private yoga lessons for Jack, hoping to improve his anxiety, as it had gotten out of control. We started with an experienced yoga instructor, however she did not have a special needs background. She did a great job, but after a few months she felt she had taken Jack as far as we could and we sought out Tracy Daniel to continue Jack’s lessons. Tracy does a great job of incorporating a sensory therapy session with fun yoga poses. Jack started off with a yoga schedule board and has steadily improved his poses and strength to where now he can incorporate yoga into a fun story time flow. She shares her routine with us, so we can continue to work on yoga at home as well. Tracy makes yoga fun for Jack and he loves working with her every week. Since working with Tracy, Jack’s focus and anxiety have drastically improved.  Jack’s school has even started incorporating yoga into their routines, as a result of the improvements they’ve seen in Jack.  We highly recommend Tracy’s services!

My daughter has been going to classes at Mindful Child for about 10 months. She also attends private sessions with Dr. Tracy. She loves going to classes, and also her private sessions. My daughter’s confidence has improved so much, it has been life changing for us. I’m so thankful to have found a wonderful professional, who truly cares about helping children.

My preschool classroom has been lucky enough to have Tracy Daniel visit multiple times and demonstrate her yoga skills with the children. Each time she has visited, she has brought innovative yoga sequences that are fun and teach body awareness skills to the children and teachers. She has been extremely patient and always explains the moves in simple ways. The children are excited to share what they have learned with their families and they talk about Tracy’s visits for days!

I have worked with Tracy for the past seven years and have watched her use her skills as a psychologist helping children with autism, anxiety and ADHD. Tracy has worked with early childhood age children with great success. Tracy has also been very successful with older children ranging from elementary school age through high school. Tracy’s creative ways of working with children meet both their sensory and cognitive needs. She is always there to answer questions or make suggestions when a situation arises. Tracy understands the long-term commitment it takes to help children become successful in the world.

Amazing facility! I was introduced to Mindful Child Yoga about 2 years ago. I’ve been following them on FB since then. I finally had the opportunity to work with Dr. Tracey at her amazing facility. I’ve taken module 1 and 2 and can’t wait to take three and get my 95 hour certification! I’ve learned so much that compliments my practice and can’t wait to put it in action! Besides the great class and info you met some pretty amazing people along the way! I highly recommend!

I have attended Dr Tracy’s Level 1 and 2 Mindful Child Yoga Teacher Training and they were both phenomenal! The knowledge she brings with how to incorporate mindfulness and yoga with kids and teens is amazing and truly life changing for students and teachers both. She is changing our world one breath and yoga pose at a time! I’m truly grateful for all she has taught me!

We have worked with Dr. Tracy for several months and have found her to be an invaluable support to our family. She is knowledgeable, passionate about her work, and is also highly sensitive to the individual differences of the children she sees. In a play-based environment, Dr. Tracy’s approach has helped our children to develop self-confidence. We have also noticed a greater sense of calm, improved self-regulation, and better ability to cope with stress. I sincerely believe that any child would benefit from aerial yoga practice with Dr. Tracy!

Dr. Tracy Daniel does an excellent job of teaching children aerial yoga and mindfulness that helps them get and maintain control of their bodies and minds. Her techniques are beneficial to any child ranging from those with no issues to those that have special concerns. Tracy provides a welcoming environment; a gentle, kind manner; and a friendly smile every week. I have seen the most reserved child enter her aerial yoga studio with apprehension and come out of the group class with a smile on their face. In the group classes, the kids are doing fun and innovative activities that help their minds and bodies, and the best part is the kids are having fun. They want to come back every week. Tracy takes the utmost care to make sure her facility is clean and safe with properly secured yoga hammocks and a cushioned floor. She makes sure each class is staffed so each child has a helping hand and encouragement when needed. Each group lesson is thought-out to provide a variety of activities to stimulate physical and mental growth in each child.

I did my 95-hour RCYT training with Dr. Tracy this summer. The information that I learned from her has taken my teaching to a whole new level. It is worth every second and every penny. Even if you only have time to go to one workshop, it is more than worth it. If you can do all three trainings I would highly recommend it!!!!
