Jacky Pagone is originally from Chicago, Illinois. She began dancing professionally at the age of 7, and quickly learned how powerful the mind/body connection is. Her passion for movement led her to yoga and she began a consistent yoga practice when she moved to Las Vegas in 2006. Jacky realized how healing the practice is not only for her body but for her mind and spirit. Since having two young children of her own, Jacky has become passionate about sharing mindfulness, breath awareness, and movement to everyone. Jacky has spent her life dedicated to movement through her professional performing career and teaching people of all ages how to access their abilities and maximize their potential. She believes everyone should have the opportunity to benefit from the lifelong tools yoga teaches us, regardless of ability, disadvantage or financial standing. The tools for life yoga offers us continue to give long after we step off our yoga mats, and these tools will not only improve the lives of individuals, but their communities... this is creating a better world for everyone.

Jacky is a Registered Yoga Teacher, Licensed Professional Massage Therapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, Certified Pilates teacher, trained in both Prenatal Yoga and Prenatal Pilates, Reiki Master, and a lover of movement and animals.

Ziya is a Las Vegas native and a mother of two. She hopes that by living an intentional, empathetic, loving life she may inspire others to do the same. While pregnant with her son in 2009, she attended a series of prenatal yoga classes where she experienced a deep connection to herself and her child. It was then that her yoga journey truly began. She graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and is impressed with the correlation between psychology and the principles of yoga. Ziya has a background in behavioral intervention, teaching, and childcare. She worked as a behavioral interventionist and consultant for children with autism for over a decade. She integrates her background into her work as a yoga teacher. Ziya is constantly exploring ways to enhance her knowledge and is a committed life-long learner. Therefore, in addition to her 200-hour yoga teacher training, she has also completed training for prenatal yoga, trauma informed yoga, kids yoga, chair yoga, and addiction recovery informed yoga. She is also a trained birth doula and postpartum doula. She believes that yoga is not something that you do on a mat, but rather a way that you live your life.
