Vance is a seasoned and phenomenal teacher. He holds a chill mysore space with wiggle room while at the same time honoring the sacred energy of traditional ashtanga practice. Would recommend for both new and experienced ashtangis.
Best Ashtanga studio in the Bay Area that I’ve been to. Vance teaches in a very encouraging and supportive manner. I would recommend him alongside Los Angeles teacher Bobbi Boston if you’re looking for masterful progress that recognizes the importance of learning and self-respect.
The shala is beautiful, and the space is inspiring. I dropped in while in town. Vance was so welcoming, and offered assists and gave great pointers. I HIGHLY recommend this place for anyone visiting the east bay, or frankly anyone within driving distance. Worth the trip. Hope to be back soon!
