Age Specific / Adult Children

Trying to get into yoga and bond with the kids over a new experience or looking to just spice up your usual wellness routine? Luckily, more than a few trendy health and wellness classes hitting the scene will entice some of the more reluctant family members to join in.

 

Aerial Yoga

For the acrobats in the family, aerial yoga is a challenging practice on the rise — literally. Yogis flock to aerial yoga studios for a challenging, gravity-breaking flow session. Just be ready to twist and turn in more positions than your standard mat practice.

 

Salt Room Yoga

For centuries, salt was considered a wonder mineral with healing powers and natural abilities. Now, with scientific backing, salt is proven to possess major health benefits and people want in. While this may be a wellness trend for now, it’s a centuries-old practice for good reason.

 

Salt rooms are believed to offer a slew of natural remedies, including healing skin ailments, assisting with respiratory issues and aiding in stress relief. The wonder of salt rooms doesn’t stop there — now you can practice yoga in them, too.

 

Salty Yoga for Breathe was developed to detox your body, free restricted breath in your lungs and help with a host of ailments — all while practicing yoga in a room covered with pink Himalayan salt. This is a great class to take with friends, family and like-minded wellness seekers looking for a healthy way to unwind. Learn more about the salt therapy treatments here and check out other rooms, like this one in New York, for the sans-yoga experience.

 

Yoga with Animals

Everyone’s favorite reason to get the yoga mat out: animal yoga! Truly for all ages, yoga classes featuring furry guests have been popping up everywhere — and we’re not complaining. Do down dog with cats, let goats jump all over you while trying to move into vinyasa or find a local puppy yoga class benefitting a shelter — just know you may walk out with a new pet if you get too relaxed in class. Expect fur balls to run, play and maybe even nap on your mat.

Wichita: The Best Little Big City for Families

Wichita may be the biggest city in Kansas, but, as I walked around town, I couldn’t shake the feeling I was in one of the country’s greatest small towns. Perhaps it was the absence of all the things that serve as constant reminders you are in a large city. Instead of crowds, traffic jams and busy people rushing through life, I found clean, wide-open streets and happy, smiling faces — just the kind of place you want to explore with a family.
