Bianca’s Bio
Bianca is an accredited Pilates instructor and certified clinical naturopath. Her love for movement started at a young age as she began dancing and attending Pilates classes with her mom at only four years old. To her, movement is both an outlet and a powerful tool for remaining in tune with her body. She works to empower her clients with the knowledge that movement can serve as medicine and heal the body in unimaginable ways.
Her desire to help others transform physically, emotionally, and spiritually does not stop at movement. Growing up Italian, food was always at the heart of her home. She quickly learned the value of home-grown produce, the power of herbs, and how food can cure ailments. Bianca is passionate about sharing her wisdom within the two practices to encourage those around her to become their optimum selves.
Kirat’s Bio
Kirat Randhawa is a meditation instructor and an inspired student of Tibetan Buddhism based in New York City. She is currently a student at Columbia University studying the role of contemplative training within the field of psychology and how associated mindfulness practices can be used as instruments for individual and societal transformation.
Having been raised in a spiritual home, meditation was at the center of daily life for Kirat. As her practice grew with her and transformed over the years, she began to translate philosophy into action. She learned to use meditation as a tool to practice self-compassion and extend kindness to herself as well as others.
Through her research at The Contemplative Sciences Center at the University of Virginia to working with underserved communities across the city, she seeks to understand and deconstruct the multilayered conditioning that prohibits human flourishing. Her training at The Tibet House, MNDFL Meditation, and in the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction lineage has allowed her to develop a multidimensional approach to support clients on their path toward greater alignment and joy. As a community organizer and explorer, Kirat celebrates leading a life centered around prosocial values and ethical wellbeing through her advocacy for local artisanal products and sustainable craft, plant medicine, sincere dialogue, and social connection.
