Hayden’s journey with yoga began some 20 years ago and continues to this day. In yoga he found grounded, practical techniques for bringing more peace and awareness into daily life. He found yin yoga during a time of particular challenge and turmoil, and Yin was the perfect medicine to help unwind and tune in to inner wisdom. He studied extensively in yin yoga to be able to bring the benefits of joy, ease, and growth to his students, and Hayden has trained hundreds of yin yoga teachers since 2018, and many more in other styles.

Strongly grounded in the physical and the present, Hayden’s classes are open to the fullness of our human experience as spiritual beings. He teaches from the heart to the individual; whether you’re new to yoga or deepening your journey – and inspires everyone to discover their own practice, their own unique contact with the divine. He aspires to hold a space that is inclusive, trauma aware, and welcome to all.

Hayden was raised in a large family close to nature, where kindness was the highest value. He previously worked in Conservation Ecology, and spent many years in the forest studying the natural world. A youth of martial arts practice and Buddhist meditation led him to Yoga in the mid-2000s. And a desire to help people led Hayden to share the practices that have helped him.

Hayden’s teachings are inspired by the world around us, and the world within. He is blessed to be influenced by his teachers Bex Tyrer, Thich Nhat Hanh, Bernie Clark, Sarah Powers, Jo Phee, and his parents Lyall & Louise.
