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.

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.

Ashley is the manager at Pure Yoga Las Vegas and her personal practice began in 2005. At first it was just a form of exercise for her, nothing spiritual. After hitting some really low points in life and as time went on, she began to notice the only time she was ever truly felt happy was when she was on her mat.

Ashley began her teacher trainings in 2020 and completed both her 200 and 300 hour YTT over the course of a year. Within that time she dove deeper in the spiritual side of the practice and it has transformed her life for the better. She's made it her goal to share this experience with others. She has been teaching across the Las Vegas Valley for three years now and found her passion for teaching in Yin Yoga, Sound Healing, and Meditation. Ashley’s goal is to bring more balance and calmness to your daily life through a better connection to your Self, one session at a time.
