Mindful Child Aerial Yoga is the best aerial yoga studio in Kansas City for kids. How did we determine, we are the best? Let’s look at some of the ways we rise above the other aerial studios in Kansas City.

Our Services are Rooted in Mindfulness

Our practices are based on neurological research to help children breathe, move, and, above all, be mindful. Mindfulness is backed by a multitude of research studies. When mindfulness is integrated in a consistent movement practice it can build brain development, improve mental health, and increase overall well-being.

Our Staff is Amazing

Dr. Tracy L. Daniel has over twenty-five-years of experience as a child psychologist that she incorporates into her aerial classes and

camps at Mindful Child to support child development through play in the aerial hammock. Dr. Tracy is a published author of a book on mindfulness, Mindfulness for Children. She believes in enhancing the relationship between physical, mental, and emotional health, Dr. Tracy strives daily to bring fun, innovative activities from her background in child psychology into her aerial yoga classes in Kansas City.

Aerial support staff at Mindful Child consists of therapists, nurses, honor and doctoral students for aerial yoga founded in medical expertise. All of our therapists are trained in primitive reflexes, mindfulness and other evidence-based treatment modalities to treat the whole child.

Yoga is Really Good for Your Child

Yoga has been shown to improve one’s physical and emotional well-being. Aerial yoga helps improve executive functions, memory, planning and the ability to concentrate. A consistent aerial yoga practice is linked with improved impulse control, sustained attention, and reduced stress/anxiety. However, most classes are not taught by a professional with a background in psychology, who understands the scientific research and implements it in a manner that is engaging to kids. Dr. Tracy’s unique background in aerial yoga and psychology make her studio the best aerial yoga studio in Kansas City.
