Karuna a.k.a. Carrie Pagano (1979-1985) Caroline Ashley (1985-Present) a Ford model, Carrie’s path to Self discovery began long before she ever took her first Yoga class. Beyond beauty, pouring all her energy and JOY into the lens, it was her first discovery of what it meant to offer and hopefully have others feel the pure bliss emanating from her heart. While studying at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School in England as Caroline, a classically trained actress (a SAG-AFTRA union member since 1983), she began sharing decades of her own personalized style of Yoga with the young and upcoming students becoming actors, classmates who came to her for her guidance and Yoga practice. She later helped develop The Life Centre’s Yoga program in London.
