As yoga has expanded into all corners of our culture, the practice has evolved. In a modern yoga studio, students span\u00a0a wide spectrum of\u00a0ages and\u00a0ethnicities\u2014and so\u00a0do\u00a0the teachers. One such face in modern yoga is 14-year-old\u00a0Jaysea Devoe<\/a>\u00a0from Encinitas, California. Jaysea began teaching yoga at 12 years old<\/a> and has since developed her student base at Bergamot Spa, where she teaches yogis from age 4 to 60.<\/p>\n

Like many modern instructors, Jaysea has begun to diversify into other arenas. Her brand, SeaVibes<\/a>, includes her style of teaching as well as an online store\u00a0for\u00a0clothing and jewelry\u00a0she has made\u00a0herself. In addition, she\u2019s a brand ambassador with Sanuk<\/a> and collaborates with charitable\u00a0organizations including\u00a0One Love Movement<\/a> and Children Mending Hearts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jaysea\u2019s work is inspired by the ocean, which she says has been a source of gratitude and power all her\u00a0life. Her family has always held the ocean at its center, and paddleboarding, surfing, and kayaking (to name a few!) are among Jaysea\u2019s favorite off-the-mat\u00a0activities. In fact, she’s also one of the\u00a0youngest certified stand up paddleboard\u00a0yoga instructors in the world, and even shared her joy teaching at Wanderlust O’ahu<\/a> this year. And it is indeed pure joy that comes through when Jaysea talks about her love of yoga, teaching, and the ocean.<\/p>\n

Jaysea inspires people to pursue their passions at any time in life. As\u00a0her\u00a0journey continues and her teaching career builds\u00a0momentum, it is her passion that gets her through busy or difficult days. Whether that means time immersed\u00a0in the sea or on her mat<\/a>,\u00a0her practice keeps her grounded and\u00a0ready to\u00a0offer her bright spirit to the world.<\/p>\n
