Deciding to sign my 13-year-old up for a three-day camp with Mindful Space was on the spur of the moment. Dreading to have a naturally sedentary teen growing roots on the TV couch during the June holidays, I was intrigued when I read about Mindful Space's programme, particularly their aerial yoga activity.
Those three days came and went, and as usual, I didn't get a lot of information out of a teen apart from the fact that he had a lot of fun and wasn't bothered by the large age gap with his camp mates.
Then a week later, I received a post-camp message from Mindful Space.
Oh my, it is by far, the most detailed and best post-camp review I’ve ever read. True to their business name, someone took the time and effort to mindfully communicate to me about my child and his time at the camp. Not only was the message kind and thoughtful, but it was definitely on point about what kind of person he is, and the areas in which we can continue to help him flourish.
One of the "wow" moments for my child was how he attempted and succeeded in doing a handstand. To some parents of naturally well-coordinated and active kids, this may not seem like much, but for my child, it was huge. He was so surprised and proud of himself - for trying and overcoming. From the note, I especially love how the teachers were able to identify a huge learning point for him through this activity - there was an acknowledgement of fear, followed by an acceptance of self, before embarking on the actual learning of the technique and continual practice.
In our busy, modern society, many people, including adults, get buried with the "doing" but missed out on the critical stage of "being". Once in a while, we all need to recalibrate and reframe our mindsets so that we can be better equipped to embark on the "handstands of our lives".
I'm also happy to report that my child's posture has improved. When waiting for the bus recently, I noticed he was sitting upright when he would otherwise be hunched up like a little old man.
While Singapore is in no lack of children's holiday camps, life-transforming programmes like these are rare and precious. Thank you so much, Mindful Space.

We love the aerial family yoga class! My kid has grown so much here. I’m so grateful to the kind teachers and management.
It touches our hearts to know your child is growing so much here. The intention is to nurture children holistically through sensory, movement and play. When children feel good in their emotions and body, they naturally learn and grow in leaps and bounds :)

I must start by saying that Mindful Space curates the best learning experiences for families! With them, we have gone for walks in the nights in search of bats, learnt the patience behind the hobby of fishing, enjoyed walking through streams in the rain, posed on aerial yoga hammocks gracefully and even handcrafted our own wooden toy.
These are activities I would probably not have done (or thought of doing) with my children, if not for Mindful Space.
What really amazes me is how Vernessa (founder of Mindful Space) always makes a point to get to know the participants and connect with us on a personal level. It truly shows the passion she has in her work!
All the other teachers/coaches we encounter on the programmes are kind in their words and interactions too. I learnt tips along the way as a participating parent and I treasure these shared experiences with my child.
Your words bring smiles to the whole team to know that families benefit and appreciate the sensory and movement-based activities we curate.
Yes, we are constantly looking for new fun ideas every season! We believe that children learn best when they have fun. Of course adults too (just that we sometimes forget how to let go and play).
Vernessa does her best to hear what is the gap in our community. She also personally goes around Singapore to hunt for teachers aligned with her passion, from how they conduct their sessions to how they communicate with the children and parents.
She believes it’s not just WHAT we teach; it’s HOW we teach that makes an impact.
Thank you Ke Rui, for building a positive and respectful parent community together with us!

Had the best time with my daughter at their Family Aeriel Yoga which are held monthly.
Very smooth and prompt communication via WhatsApp and they are super professional in how they deal with their clients.
Highly recommend.
Thanks Amirah! Happy to hear you bond with so much love in the air, literally flying in the aerial hammock :)
Thanks for letting us know communication is smooth and prompt, even though we can't afford to reply fast. It’s good to have parents who understand that our WhatsApp team are mothers or women who work from home, hence we reply after we settle the kids and home. Family comes first for our team members too :)
We all have space to breathe when we slow down together for ourselves and our families :)
Look forward to connect soon!

I brought my class of 4 year olds to Mindful Space for a parent-child workshop on woodworking and the experience was wonderful! The program was organised and tailored to the needs and skills of the children. The teachers were very helpful and enthusiastically guided the children and parents during the activity. We also loved the space! It was calming and they had a beautiful garden for the children to explore.
Awesome to hear parents and children enjoy the bonding session and find it meaningful. Yes, environment is the third teacher, a conducive space is indeed important. Thank you for trusting us with your family day event!

Attended parent and child aerial yoga with my 4yo. She absolutely loved the experience. Great that the teaching assistant to parent-child pair ratio was almost 1:1, so it felt really safe (can’t always see how your kid is climbing above you in the hammock). Plus lots of photos and videos were taken by staff which they sent to us after, so we could just be in the moment to enjoy the class without worrying about having to capture the memories like our usual kiasu selves 😁

Done parents and kids aerial yoga. My child really loved it. The teachers here really have the skillsets for kids yoga and engaged the children mindfully!
Well done and will definitely be back!

My 12 year old daughter attended a 3 days Mindfulness Holiday Camp at Mindful Space. She loves all the teachers and the entire program especially the aerial yoga session so much so she is asking if I can sign her up for more! It is not easy to find aerial yoga classes for tweens/teens. I hope Mindful Space will organise more events/classes cater to her age group too! Thank you for brightening up her summer vacation with your awesome camp! And thank you for the comprehensive classroom observation review and photos after the camp. My husband and I are truly impressed by the professionalism of your service.

We recently engaged mindful space for a mini workshop for preschool parents and educators on how we can have some learning about children’s different temperaments and strategies in helping adults to understand the little world of our young children. Through the workshop, many relevant examples and practical strategies were shared that enlightened the way we possibly can use to handle young children in their melt downs. We appreciate the the knowledge sharing from the speaker, Ms Vernessa, who is patient and interactive in answering the queries both parents and educators may have. We certainly we would consider for more session in time to come! :)) We have tried some of the strategies and now we also seen some little improvement of the little ones. Thank you! :)

We have been working with Vernessa and the Mindful Space team for our safe conversations for mums sessions. The experience has been positive throughout. Every little thing is provided for and Vernessa helps to ensure that event logistics are smooth from registration to end of event so that we could concentrate on the actual sessions. A great partner to have for events for sure! - Yasmin, Away from Mum Guilt
Thank you for doing what you do, creating a safe space for mothers to have those challenging or missing conversations. Happy we can support to take care of the mothers' well-being, allowing them to have more headspace and heart space to take care of their families.

A place that is building a community of mindful parents through family activities, kids fun explorations of nature and feelings through art, sport, team building. A space that is made emotionally safe through compassion, recognition and respect for the beautiful kids souls that will be adults tomorrow.
My daughter practised aerial yoga here and both my kids look forward to attend camps here. We also asked Vernessa’s team help to organize my 8 year old party: It was a lovely day for the kids with aerial yoga and batik painting in the garden. I am very happy to support this business and this team for the extremely valuable work they are doing.

My girl went here for a 3 day mindfulness camp and it was truly transformational. She is a ball of energy, so we were sceptical sending her for three days of seemingly “quite” activities. Yet, it was a hit! She absolutely lived it. It helped her to reflect on her behaviours and experiences in a very mature manner, she fell in love with aerial yoga and she made some good friends. The experience helped my daughter to feel more in control with her emotions and keen to continuously do better. The camp was organised in a very thoughtful and professional manner, with attention to detail and amazing follow-up. I would also like to give big compliments for being open and transparent about the emotional challenges they observe my daughter faces. All spot on, with thorough analysis and recommendation. It’s hard to get to the crux of issues, particularly for a young kid in one day. It is even harder, and takes courage and professionalism, to openly share observed issues to the customer at the risk of not having recurring business, but it was handled exceptionally tactful, giving confidence that kids are really in good hands and with caring hearts here. In addition to great experience and communication during the camp, we also got a comprehensive write-up on observations as well as a good set of photos to keep the good memories. Exceptional jib! Well beyond expectations.
Thank you Marina! As much as the camp means a lot to you and your child, your testimonial means a lot to us too.
We are so grateful the extra mile can be so transformational. It makes the team’s effort so worthwhile, it’s the small actions that make the difference.
We are a group of educators simply working with our passion and heart. You testimonial fuel our strength and give meaning to what we do.
We are blessed to know your child benefit from the camp so much :)

This is a place where you can let your child grow in self-awareness and learn skills and values they'll need in life through fun and interactive activities. The boss and facilitators take serious care to each individual child's needs. Highly recommended!
Thanks Sarah for supporting this holistic space! Together we focus to teach values and soft skills as children explore their childhood.
