Scott Page, a certified yoga instructor at Peaks Athletic Club for eight years, will teach a free class at 7 a.m. Saturday, May 6, in Fountain Park near the parking lot off Panorama Drive.

Page describes himself as a “spiritual seeker.”

“When I was younger, I loved the practices of martial arts and Zen meditation. I have studied numerous religions and philosophies, all in search of peace, balance, spiritual growth, and the chance for enlightenment,” wrote Page.

His searching brought him to yoga more than 10 years ago.

“Yoga, with its balance of physical and spiritual practice, encompasses all the components of the holistic discipline I was seeking in other disconnected practices. In a relatively short time, yoga became – And still is – my passion.”

Page began his personal yoga journey with the practice of astanga vinyasa yoga in the tradition of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. He studied with Wendy Green while living on the East Coast and, after moving to Scottsdale in 2003, continued his practice with Dave Oliver.

He was certified as a yoga instructor through At One Yoga and now is a registered yoga teacher with the Yoga Alliance.

“I am what traditional yogis would call a ‘householder.’ I am married with children and responsibilities. This I find makes being calm very challenging at times. Playing the guitar, chanting, meditating, reading spiritual and motivational literature and writing poetry are all ways I channel my mind and settle my energy.”
