MysTree is a talented expressive artist and aerial dancer. She performs on many apparatus and just can’t seem to stop learning new art forms. MysTree (aka Tree) has been studying, practicing, and creating different forms of body movement for as long as she can remember. She grew up a gymnast, a dancer, and an acrobat. Tree has trained in an evolving, and intentional collection of diverse styles of yoga over the past couple of decades and currently maintains a transformative, regular Ashtanga vinyasa practice that she reverently calls her “superhero training.”
Tree took up teaching & performing circus arts in 2014. She has taught Treehouse Yoga Teacher Trainings and Soma Tree Aerial Yoga Teacher Trainings in Missouri and Kansas. Tree currently teaches aerial yoga, acrobatics, hammock, yogic contortion, silks, lyra, tippy lyra, & trapeze in the Kansas City area and for inspirational events across the country. If you come to KC you can find her at the church on top of Strawberry Hill, Voler Aerial Academy. She teaches all movement arts in a "yoga way" and from a trauma informed, therapeutic, and empowerment centered perspective.
Tree is currently in training with Inner Peace Yoga Therapy, specializing in joint hypermobility in yogi's and acrobats. She did her undergraduate studies at MSSU in “The Study of Life,” Biology and Biochemistry.
MysTree owns and operates Midwest Aerialists (MWA), a production company that's focused on supporting self-expression through circus arts (dance, acrobatics, flow arts etc..). MWA makes inspiring acrobatic entertainment available to the community and gives movement artists a chance to set/reach goals, and to showcase their art. Tree designs and directs pro and semi-pro shows, student showcases, and dinner theatres. MWA also provides stunning entertainment for corporate events.
Tree's goal is to inspire people to embody their greatness. One of her great missions in this life is uniting people. After all, we are all one consciousness. To this end she co-founded the first workshop based transformational music festival in the Midwest, Roots in Bliss Healing Arts Gathering, and continues to be involved in transformational events. She encourages students to “practice anything, that is the key to transformation.”
