HineHau
"Me aro koe ki te hā o Hineahuone."
Pay heed to the breath of Hineahuone.
HineHau is a movement for wāhine, whānau and community wellbeing, with breathwork grounded in Te Ao Māori.
We believe in the power of the breath as a taonga of healing, reconnection and collective restoration for te taha tinana (body), hinengaro (mind and heart), wairua (spirit) and whānau (family and community).
Attend a breathwork class, join one of our leadership programmes, train as a BreathWav™ practitioner in Aotearoa New Zealand, or find a trusted breathwork practitioner near you.
A Kaupapa for All Wāhine
X
HineHau is an offering for all wāhine, of every culture, background, and story who feel the call to reconnect with their inner wisdom and reclaim their fullness of breath.
While we are guided by mātauranga Māori, this kaupapa is not only for wāhine Māori. It is open to all who come with respect, reverence, and a willingness to journey inward.
We respect the diverse threads that shape each woman’s path and welcome every expression of wairua, whether it comes from ancestral tradition, personal devotion or your connection with spirit. Whether you are reconnecting with your indigeneity, learning to listen to your body or discovering breathwork for the first time, HineHau is a space where you are welcome.
