Aileen Hayden
Kripalu Yoga Teacher
Aileen Hayden has been studying and practicing yoga since 1989. She holds a B.A. and a B.Ed. and is a former teacher. Aileen is a Certified Kripalu Yoga Teacher and a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200) through Yoga Alliance.
Aileen moved in 1988 from her hometown of Saskatoon to Montreal and there discovered yoga. In her own life, she found yoga brought her more energy and joy, less stress, more focus and ability to accomplish goals, as well as a deeply satisfying workout. She was hooked.
After 13 years of practice, Aileen decided to teach yoga, and became a Certified Kripalu Yoga Instructor in 2002, combining something beneficial in her own life with her love of teaching. Aileen continues advanced studies in the Kripalu yoga tradition and in anatomy and physiology.
Aileen is warm, down-to-earth and a skilled communicator. She is known for her smile and for her creative, clear teaching.
Aileen has always loved movement and physical expression. She is the creator and teacher of The Big Fat Ass Dance Class®: Improvisational Dance for Ordinary Women.
