Gardens of Delight Introduce
Welcome to Gardens of Delight, a truly unique and holistic wellness center located right here in Kansas City, Missouri. For residents across the Missouri region, finding a space that caters to both physical and spiritual well-being can be a transformative experience. Gardens of Delight is not your typical large franchise studio; it’s a beautifully curated, tight-knit community dedicated to helping you find balance and peace in your life. As one of our newcomers noted, the studio is located in a "gorgeous loft above a garage," a quaint and serene setting that immediately sets a tone of tranquility and personal connection. The moment you arrive, you are greeted with a sign, "Gardens of Delight," signaling that you've arrived at a special place for healing and growth.
Our mission extends beyond just yoga. We are a community of students and practitioners who are not just super loyal but also incredibly welcoming. The warm reception you receive as a newcomer, with students getting excited to see new faces and asking for your name, is a testament to the strong, supportive community we have built. This is a place where you can find individual attention and a personal connection that is often missing from larger studios. Our instructors, like the incredibly welcoming Lynn, take the time to ask the class what they want to focus on, ensuring your practice is tailored to your needs. This dedication has a tangible effect; as one reviewer shared, after a class focused on shoulders, they "floated out of class with lighter shoulders," a clear sign of the personalized and effective care we provide.
Gardens of Delight is a true wellness sanctuary, a place where profound healing and positive change can occur. One long-time client shared how the energy healing services have "change the course of my life," highlighting the tremendous work done by our practitioners, such as Lynn. The monthly healing sessions focused on "clearing my negative energy and aligning my chakras" have been a consistent source of well-being for this client over two years. The passion and dedication of our instructors are evident in every session, making it a blessing to have them in our community. We believe in providing a holistic approach to wellness, integrating various practices to nurture your mind, body, and soul.
We are more than just a yoga studio; we are a center for natural healing and a local herb shop, nestled in the rolling hills near the Missouri River.

Gardens of Delight Reviews

★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1The space is this gorgeous loft above a garage! When you pull up, you see a sign, “Gardens of Delight.” You can park anywhere outside of the detached garage, and then enter. The studio is up the stairs. She has built such a great community of students, you can tell they are super loyal and tight knit. They got excited to see us newcomers and asked what our names were. Lynn was so welcoming and asked the class what we wanted to focus on. We said shoulders and I floated out of class with lighter shoulders. This is not your big franchise kind of studio, this is a place if you’re looking for a community and more individual attention!
March 19 · Lucy ZhouI have been using Gardens of Delight for over two years. I never dreamed that Energy Healing could change the course of my life, but it has. Lynn does a tremendous job of clearing my negative energy and aligning my chakras to work efficiently together. I receive these healings on a monthly basis. In addition, I’ve also been taking energy healing classes for two years to assist in my journey. Lynn is also a tremendous Yoga instructor. Lynn is a beautiful soul, and it is a blessing to have her in my life. I recommend her to anyone.
February 01 · Dave SwingI am SO grateful for Lynn!! I moved from NW Arkansas and sought out a yoga experience to match the gentle and loving yoga experience I had found in Arkansas. Finally I found LYNN! She is gentle, thorough, helpful, knowledgeable and so loving. My body is always happy after a yoga session with Lynn. Lynn is a loving soul and a beautiful person. I am so glad to know her!!
August 24 · Mary StraubMy life has dramatically improved since first joining Lynn's yoga class in 2007. She began as my yoga teacher, became my doula through two births, and finally brought my life clarity and peace as my energy healer. Even my children visit her for yoga, gardening club, and energy healing! I've felt so blessed to have her as a resource in my community. These are but a few of her many holistic and organic talents! :)
May 22 · Susan CullivanWhen you are looking for a Yoga "guru", Lynn is that person! Her knowledge in Yoga and wellness training, and even homemade teas will make your experience a memorable one. Her studio sets the tone for a time of relaxation to where you will walk away feeling refreshed and renewed. If you are looking to getting into Yoga for the first time or if you are quite experienced and ready for something new, don't look any further than Gardens of Delight and Lynn.
