Paige Mayes

…began her yoga journey in spring 2015. She completed her 200-hour Sampoorna Yoga Teacher Training in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

When Paige returned to Arizona, she felt no true community & the lack of diversity deflated her confidence in my yoga certification.

“It wasn’t until I moved to Oakland in late October 2015 that I found a solid black/poc yoga community. This gave me the confidence to use my yoga certification. Witnessing other black yoga instructors, in a city where I reside teach, engage, host workshops, and enlighten the community with wellness, love, support and strength. That’s when I realized this is our community! and I began to ‘trust’ Paige. Not ‘trust’ in a surface like way, where I seem confident to others externally but I mean truly embracing my flaws. My hiccups. My imperfections. My ugly... I can now confidently say I am a teaching artist who belongs to an amazing yoga/wellness community.”

Paige uses her deep connection to yoga, her passion for the arts, and her radiant positivity to help her students learn how to better use their body & mind. To create true strength and true power.
