Originally a South Florida man, Vance moved to Los Angeles in 2014 after yoga transformed his perspective on life. He taught there for 11 years, then moved to New York in 2025 following his heart.
He once was a full time performer, both professionally and personally. Yoga allowed him the space to be honest with himself and everyone else, making way for deeper connections and a more fulfilling experience of living. Through practice, he received a more powerful, flexible body, and a more malleable mind; but most importantly, a connection to the most profound forces: AUTHENTICITY and LOVE!
He’s been lucky to watch his practice grow from teaching family and friends in his parents’ back yard to working with studios, gyms, private clients, and corporations, at events, music festivals, conferences, and online fitness apps (most notably becoming a Nike global yoga trainer). He is committed to sharing these transformative tools with as many people as possible, in any capacity.
Playfulness and joy are benchmarks of his teaching style… He’s here for a good time not a long time.
