With a style that’s raw, direct, and deeply empowering, he guides people out of survival mode and into lasting safety, genuine energy, and profound healing.
Hayden is also the Founder of 777Media and serves as AIMWell’s Digital Associate, helping develop and frame creative ideas for the world’s consumption and ensuring the AIMWell mission, progress, and successes are accurately shared.

Leanne, Yin Yoga Instructor
Hi, I’m Leanne (she/her) — your resident Yin Yoga poster child. I fell in love with yin because of the way it makes both the body and the mind more flexible. As I’ve aged, I credit my increased mobility to this practice, and teaching is my way of giving back the knowledge I’ve absorbed in our yoga community.
My teaching style is open and easygoing, inviting you to soften, slow down, and discover the power of stillness.
Offerings:
• Yin Yoga — alternating Sundays at 10 a.m.
• Yin Yoga — Wednesdays at 7:45 p.m.
