Props & Supplies:
Tune Up Ball set- there are many sizes and they come in a set with a mess bag so you can use them together or single. Paiges also uses tennis balls but sometimes she prefers the stiffness of the Tune Up balls. A student I work with got a great deal of a combo of balls on amazon that she loves and great deal.
Prefer More traditional “Tune Up Balls” - this is more traditional massage ball set made of foam texture - 3 pack that has a tiny one that Paige likes for places like your jaw line.
Pilates Ring - look for any online - there are many but you shouldn’t spend a lot for it. $12 to $18 max. Here is the one Paige has:
Yoga Wheel - this is a set of 3 different wheel sizes great for supporting the spine in various positions:
Yoga Bolster - there are many kinds of bolsters and sizes. They are often expensive. There are ones that are more round but Paige likes this square one especially if you plan to lay back at a slight angle.
Weighted Sand Bag - there are many out there but some are not heavy enough. Placing the bag on your body for added compression during restorative yoga positions.
Self-Care:
Nasya Oil - for the nose - from Banyan Botanicals - see tab for nose care on usage. Paige highly recommends this one and brand
Kimkoo Cotton Sleep Mask - best sleep mask Paige has ever had. Blocks out light 100%, even around the nose area. Soft and just a bit of support to comfort the eyes. Adjustable band that is think and flexible.
Sunn Bay Lavender-Scented Extra Long Neck Wrap - Amazon link here Paige likes the heaviness of this neck wrap as it helps support the neck but also perfect on the collarbones. She uses it at home and on the road.
Victorias Lavender: small business that has a farm and referred to me by existing client. Neck wrap is amazing and is made with real fresh lavender. https://victoriaslavender.com/
Lather - www.lather.com - can’t name just one product - so many wonderful face and body products. Favorites are the mild cucumber face wash, tinted lip balm and foot scrub. Plum Night cream and All over Sugar Body scrub are also amazing.
Drunk Elephant - www.drunkelephant.com - face products: especially love the “baby fascial” but I did buy many others from day and night creams and serums.
Rishi Tea - Ginger with Turmeric and she often puts another tea bag of black or green tea with it as well. On-line or you can find at Whole Foods. All their teas are just amazing!
Organic India Tea - herbal tea with many to choose from. Paige likes the Original Tulsi after dinner as it helps digestion and gets the body ready for sleep.
T-Shirts by Sure Design www.suredesigntshirts.com - form fitted (not box shaped) yet not tight around the body. Comfortable and lasts long. Not expensive either. This became Paiges uniform for teaching as she wanted something without a statement to wear to offices and also provide enough coverage to her chest and shoulders so she could lean over to help students.
DoTerra Oils - Not all essential oils are the same and when it comes to digesting them you want to make sure it is safe. This brand has peppermint oil tabs you can digest. Not only to help breath but also to cool - perfect when too hot or having a headache. Paige also likes blending the oils into her palm. You can purchase from the company directly or on Amazon.
“Heritage Store” Rose Petals Rosewater (Amazon) - Alcohol Free! Some rosewater have alcohol and Paige uses this one for various reasons. When she comes into a studio and it is hot and smelly she sprays the air to clean it. The rosewater is also good to spray on the skin and eyes as well.
Incense Sticks - Satya Baba Nag Champa - there are many intense sticks out there but this one is a classic and her preferred smell. Really good for cleaning the air out and not so overwhelming for someone who is sensitive to smells (like migraine or pregnant moms).
Equipment & Business Supplies:
Lifefactory - glass carrier for cold or hot items - she has both containers for cold and hot. Paige prefers the taste when it is in glass vs plastic or metal containers. Dishwasher safe as well.
Bluetooth Portable Speaker - By JBL - often Paige has to teach at places that doesn’t have a speaker so she carries this one. Fits in her purse and puts out amazing sound.
Business Cards - by Moo.com Your business card shouldn’t end up in the trash - make your card memorable and often passed around to others too.
Microphone by Yeti - called the Blue Professional - has four settings depending on the sound needed to capture.
Xiaomi Selfie Stick, Tripod and Bluetooth Remote Control: Such a great deal. It is a selfie stick when you need and instead of having to reach the tap on the phone you can use the bluetooth button to take the picture when the phone is out of reach. That or simply change it to a tripod for your recordings. Fits mosts phones.
