I have a gift certificate, how do I redeem it?*
You must create a MindBody account IF you do not have one already. The account allows us to book your appointment in our system whether that entails a sauna appointment, float appointment, or yoga class. If there is a gift card ID #, please use that at checkout or in the Promo Code field. Otherwise, you can also email us the gift card ID # for easy booking - all we need is your first/last name, email, and phone #.
For yoga classes and sauna, visit www.yogapatch.com and go to Class Schedule or Sauna in the menu. For floats, visit www.floatingkc.com > Book Now. For massages with Past Tense Massage (Bernie), visit http://www.pasttense.massagetherapy.com.
*NOTE: Appointments are booked on a first come first serve basis. To guarantee your desired appointment time, please book as early as possible. If you need to reschedule or cancel your appointment, you can do that within your MindBody account OR you can contact us via social media, email, text, or phone to get it changed as well.
If you have an emailed gift certificate (virtual gift card): after signing up for a MindBody account (if you don't already have one), find the service you want to book. Upon booking the appointment, there will be a unique card number in your emailed gift certificate and you will enter that in the checkout screen in the Promo code field.
If you received a physical gift certificate: after signing up for a MindBody account (if you don't already have one), find the service you want to book. When you come in for your appointment please show proof of the gift certificate. If there is a unique card ID on the gift card, please follow the same directions for an emailed gift certificate above.
I have a monthly membership and have guest passes, how do I redeem it?
You can book yourself twice on the roster or give us a call/email so we can easily add the guest pass on their file (we will need their first/last name, email, and phone).
I am having issues with payment online?
Unfortunately, we cannot take American Express (AMEX) credit cards online and in-store. If you are still having issues with payment, please contact your credit card company.
Yoga for kids? Can I bring my child to yoga?
If your child is respectful of other students during the class and can sit through at least a 10 minute savasana quietly, then feel free to bring them. We currently do not have Family Yoga, but please check our workshops page for youth workshops.
How do I redeem the New Student Special? What is it?
The MindBody booking system considers a "new student" as having NO prior visits (this includes workshops, floats, sauna appointments, etc). If you've booked an appointment before, the system automatically removes the ability for you to purchase the New Student Special, so you will need to let us know that you would like to purchase this so we can make backend adjustments in our system for the deal to work. This promotion is $33 for 3 weeks of unlimited classes meaning that you can attend Aerial Yoga, Qi Gong, and any schedule on our class. It activates on your first visit.
Private group sessions? Private Aerial Silks class?
Yes, we offer private sessions starting around $70-75/hr and Aerial sessions starting at $150/hr. Let us know ahead of time what the goal of your private session is so we can find a teacher suitable for you! We can do a private aerial class, Hot Flow, meditation class, etc.
What is Arbor Vitae?
Arbor Vitae is a collection of different healing modalities within the wellness center. People have brought their love of healing and their passions into the space for others. Arbor Vitae is the name of the wellness center that houses Yoga Patch and Floating KC. In addition to the Yoga Patch, there are various individual practitioners that use the building space. For example, we have a chiropractor, acupuncturists, licensed massage therapists, energy workers, counselors, and more.
