How Mindful Child Aerial Yoga Soars Above the Rest

We Rise By Uplifting Others. ~Robert Ingersol

Mindful Child Aerial Yoga is one of only a handful of aerial yoga studios in the world that incorporate mindfulness, therapeutic tools, and sensory integration strategies into their aerial yoga instruction.

Our unique classes use yoga poses and strategies that science demonstrates as therapeutic to the brain and body. We also make sure our classes are filled with social emotional learning and FUN!

Below are just a few of ways we uplift children and soar above others:

HIGHLY QUALIFIED STAFF

Mindful Child Aerial Yoga staff has the credentials to teach children, not only yoga, but social and emotional skills. When you send your child to school or the doctor’s office, you rest assured knowing that your child’s teacher and doctor have degrees in teaching and medicine. They have the adequate credentials to teach your child. In the yoga business, this is not always the case as there is no governing board. Scary, right?

At Mindful Child Aerial Yoga our staff have health care degrees and most are licensed professionals working with children. All college staff are honors students excelling in their areas of study, with most having GPAs of 4.0. Dr. Tracy is a former child psychologist, who has worked with children for over 20-years. Additionally, the staff at Mindful Child Aerial Yoga have all attended Dr. Tracy’s rigorous mindfulness and yoga training programs, which are endorsed by Yoga Alliance.

SAFETY

Before opening Mindful Child Aerial Yoga  a structural engineer inspected and reinforced our supports. We also make our own aerial yoga hammocks from the strongest and best fabric we can find. We only buy safety test aerial yoga hammock fabric and equipment such as Black Diamond climbing gear. Aerial yoga hammocks have been safety tested up to 2000 pounds! Lastly, we have special yoga flooring called Zebra Yoga Flooring that is padded. If your child falls out of the hammock it doesn’t hurt. We spared no expense to make sure your child is safe.

RESEARCH-BASED

Our aerial yoga program is brain-based, therapeutic, and research-backed. Everything from the music we play to the yoga movements we introduce are beneficial to brain development with proven therapeutic results. Go us for making aerial yoga not only fun, but brain building!

MINDFULNESS

Mindfulness is incorporated into all aspects of our program. The Mindful Child Aerial Yoga curriculum teaches children how to build mindful awareness, which helps them reflect before they react. Problem behaviors decrease while executive functioning, and adaptive skills are enhanced.

REGISTERED

Mindful Child Yoga Teacher Training is a registered yoga school. Our 95-hour children’s yoga teacher training is approved and registered with Yoga Alliance. It is the only approved 95-hour yoga teacher training in Kansas City. We are also a continuing education provider for yoga instructors. This means we know a lot about mindfulness and yoga for kids!

SPECIALIZE IN CHILDREN

We only teach children. Unlike other yoga studios we focus ALL of our attention on making our yoga program unique and beneficial to children. Since that is all we do, we are really good at it!

Things to consider when looking for aerial yoga classes for children

When looking for aerial yoga for your child don’t be afraid to ask questions. Make sure the teacher is a licensed professional who works with children. Licensed professionals such as therapist have to undergo background screenings. Also, ask about the safety of the equipment. Has it been safety tested?  Were the aerial yoga hammocks hung by a licensed contractor?  Is there padded flooring? After all your child will be suspended in the air hanging upside down like a monkey…
