Hayden Rain
AcroYoga & Fly High
New Zealand
Across the styles, Yoga is a journey of self-discovery – a journey integrating the heart, body, and mind.
Strongly grounded in the physical and the present experience, 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 in a class, workshop, teacher training, or private session – he inspires everyone to discover their own practice, your 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 worked in construction while pursuing a Biology degree 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, where he found grounded, practical techniques for bringing more peace and awareness into daily life. A desire to help people led Hayden to share the practices that can help bring so much joy, ease and growth.
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, Mark Whitwell, Jo Phee, and his parents Lyall & Louise.
