About us

Meet Michael & Tiarna

Hya Wellness started in Wanaka in 2022 with free breathwork sessions on the lakefront. It grew into studio classes, ice-bath events and retreats, and we've now guided hundreds of people through breathwork, cold exposure and meditation, many of them for the first time.

Today our focus is burnout. Between us we bring psychology, breathwork and naturopathy, so we look at stress from the mind and the body. Then we give you practical tools that fit into a real, busy life.
