Faculty Team | Manager | Recovery Services Director

From addiction recovery to leadership coaching, Paige Hansen turns resilience into fire. She’s proof that transformation is possible - and powerful.

Paige’s first yoga class wasn’t your typical candle-lit studio experience - it was in an flourescent-lit addiction treatment center. In that room, yoga gave her one of the only things she could hold onto: a moment out of her head and into her body. It took years before she made her way back to the mat, but when she did - after a life-changing (and slightly confusing) first class with Grace & Glory founder Allie Nunzi - she knew she needed more of whatever that was. Since then, Paige has earned her RYT-200, apprenticed under Allie, and serves on the Program Facilitation Team many times!

Her classes are equal parts grounded and fiery - Paige calls it “flow like lava.” Students leave sweaty, steady, and a little more awake to their own strength. Beyond the mat, Paige leads at every level of the Grace & Glory ecosystem. She is the Studio Manager at Grace & Glory Yoga, the Program & Content Manager for the Grace & Glory School of Yoga, the Director of Recovery Programming at The Leadership Studio, and the Lead Facilitator of RECOVER WELL, our recovery yoga teacher training. She also serves as a Behavioral & Leadership Coach with ALGN Consulting, where she brings the same resilience and realness she lives by into her work with leaders and teams. What drives Paige is community, connection, and transformation. She creates space where people can be fully themselves—and be called forward into their fullest potential. Outside the studio, Paige lights up around anything animal-related (yes, her cats run the house), fantasy novels about fairies, competititve CrossFit, and a slightly wild dream of becoming a falconer. (yes, like those kind of falcons...).

Her deepest inspiration comes from her own recovery journey. Having lived two very different lives, Paige sees her current one as a miracle. Resilience and perseverance are the fire that fuel her practice, her teaching, and her leadership.
