Mindful Movement Kids™ Studio Series
WHAT MAKES THIS PROGRAM UNLIKE ANYTHING ELSE IN MINNESOTA
Every Month, Your Child Earns a Badge.
Every child who completes a session of Mindful Movement Kids™ earns a limited-edition, illustrated collectible badge designed around that month's mindfulness theme.
These aren't participation trophies. They're high-quality, beautifully illustrated badges that represent a real mindfulness skill your child practiced, explored, and genuinely owns.
Kids display them on water bottles, backpacks, and folders as a reminder of what they learned — and ask to come back the next month to earn the next one.
✨ New badge every month
Once retired, never re-released · collect them all!

THE STUDIO SERIES
A Small-Group Wellness Studio. For Kids.
Mindful Movement Kids™ Studio Series is the only ongoing, badge-based kids yoga and mindfulness program in the Twin Cities north metro.
This isn't a drop-in class. It's a consistent, relationship-based experience where children build on what they learned last week, deepen their connection with the same small group of peers, and grow in ways that compound over time.
✔ Year-round enrollment — new sessions monthly
✔ Same educator, same small group, real continuity
✔ Monthly collectible badge earned every session
✔ Boutique enrollment — spots deliberately limited
✔ Direct registration — no district account needed

Designed & Led by Founder Tara Willits
Every Mindful Movement Kids™ Studio Series session is designed and led by founder Tara Willits — the only person who teaches this program.
This isn't a franchise or a curriculum handed to a rotating roster of instructors. It's one educator, one small group, one consistent experience — that's part of why it works.
