Depression: Is This Normal?

Depression: Is This Normal?

One of the most challenging things about depression is that it can be hard to name or identify. As someone going through it, being able to name the experience and share it with those around you is nearly impossible—until you really become intimate with it and begin to understand the changes in behavior. For a few years, I couldn’t help myself, I had to rely on those closest to me to identify the differences. I also had to trust that they had my best intentions in mind when pointing out that I needed help. Read on to see if any of these flags are familiar to you.

VLOG: Having the Courage to Trust the Universe

, ,

Welcome to my October Vlog!

As you know, 2019 has been a wild ride for me and the beginning of my yoga entrepreneurship. I've ridden a lot of ups and downs in the first six months but the one thing that has helped me stay grounded is having the courage to trust the Universe. It's easy to think we can manage everything on our own and that by sheer will and hard work that things can become real, but sometimes letting go of the way things get done is when we open ourselves for real magic to happen. When I feel particularly stuck, I'll ask the Universe out loud for help. Give the video a watch to hear how the Universe has had my back this year.

Thank you for being apart of my journey and reflections!

With deep love,
Paige

Tapping into Your Intuition

,
Tapping into Your Intuition

In a fast paced life, it’s so easy to turn down the volume of our inner wisdom and begin soliciting external sources. In fact, we almost practice quieting this voice in favor of showing up in a prescribed way that our society and culture has told us is the “right” way to be. How can we cultivate this connection and tap into our inner wisdom?

Portland, Oregon Reboot

Portland, Oregon Reboot

What an incredible walk down memory lane spending the weekend in Portland! We brought our walking shoes (when we lived here we both sold our cars) and got ready to reacquaint ourselves with the Rose City. Every day we’ve wandered what feels like all of Portland, checking out the new development and eating and drinking our way through each neighborhood. In summary, Portland is still as weird as ever—if not more than before. The food industry continues to thrive. We encountered twice as many beer bars as before which is hard to imagine, but true.

Travel Series: Lima + Cusco, Peru

Travel Series: Lima + Cusco, Peru

About a year ago, almost to the day, I attended a Yin Yoga and Meditation training with Yoga Medicine in Peru. I've wanted to visit Peru for quite some time, and the combination of yoga training was definitely the incentive I needed to book the trip. As with most of my longer international trips, Justin usually travels with me before or after so that we can explore and enjoy together. For Peru, we decided to spend the week before the training took place exploring: Lima, Cusco, and the Sacred Valley, and to see Machu Picchu of course. Read on to learn from our lessons and plan your next trip!

VLOG: Annual Reflections + Birthday

I’m bringing back the VLOG this week, sharing some of my annual reflections. I always feel like my birthday is the perfect time to look back upon the past year, to review goals set out to be accomplished, log in all the learnings and think about the upcoming year. Thank you for being here and helping to create such a wonderful year. I’m filled to the brim with gratitude that this is the life I get to live.

Goals: How to Stick With Them

Goals: How to Stick With Them

Goals. Some goals are long-term some goals or short-term; some goals are goals that we're not even sure why they might be goals. But the fact of the matter is that goals present themselves everywhere, regardless of your industry or lifestyle, you are usually working toward something. So, how can we more effectively work toward our goals?

What does YogaPlay mean?

What does YogaPlay mean?

If you’ve been around for awhile you may be wondering about the meaning behind YogaPlay. After nearly a decade of teaching yoga, I’ve found that most of my learning has come from a genuine curiosity in the body’s abilities. There was a time when I took my practice so-very-seriously and tried to walk the narrow path of what I thought a yogi should be and do. But somewhere along the line, I decided to throw out the rule book and walk my own path and do my very best to enjoy every minute of it.

YogaPlay was born out of a relentless desire to challenge my body within the realm of yoga and this long honored practice.
