Devon Edwards

Devon began his yoga journey in 2017 in Southern California. Sitting at a desk job all day was causing far too many aches and pains for an active person in his 20s. When he started doing yoga, he was wondering where it had been all his life! Not only did he find pain relief, he had no idea how much stress he was holding in his body. It felt like he was truly relaxed for the first time. Within a year, Devon’s deep dive into yoga led him to undertake his 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at Sunspark Yoga in Orange, CA. Devon learned many types of yoga through his training, from gentle stretches to vinyasa flows, from yin to ashtanga. Furthermore, he developed a spiritual side to his life guided by the Eight Limbs and other adjacent practices. He found his stride teaching gentle yoga to a wide range of students, from stressed college students to 60 year-old beginner yogis. In 2022 he moved home to Massachusetts to become a school teacher and frequently taught yoga to his class of special needs students. Devon is currently a middle school teacher in Buncombe County and so excited to be teaching youth yoga at ACY!
