In 2008, Jayson built the infrastructure for the Nevada caucus, the first "early window" caucus in the history of the state. During this campaign, Jayson went to his first yoga class and discovered a new way to manage the stress of working in politics. He lost 75 pounds, stopped taking antidepressants, and became a yoga teacher.

Jayson has taught yoga around the world and has learned how other cultures use their self-care techniques. After returning to Colorado in 2013, Jayson committed himself to helping people and organizations achieve better health and wellness.
