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.
Jacy’s Bio
Jacy Cunningham is a trainer, motivational speaker, and founder of The Jacy Method — his unique style of training where working out meets working in.
From a young age, Jacy knew that his passions extended far beyond the playing field. Having grown up in a family of athletes, he felt pressured to always be on top of his game and excel in his performance. His constant effort and determination paid off, and in 2008, he signed a football scholarship to Howard University in Washington, DC.
After playing four years of college football and graduating with an economics degree, he eventually threw in the towel and walked away from football in 2012. For months after leaving the sport, he weaved in and out of states of depression. Without his sports identity, he was left questioning his purpose — until he reconnected with a friend to take part in the Summit Series events in Utah, where he worked as a movement instructor until 2017. His time at the Summit Series served as a launching pad for The Jacy Method, a physical and emotional movement experience that helps people reflect and embrace every part of their being.
Jacy is a certified fitness instructor with the American Aerobic Association International/International Sports Medicine Association and he’s certified with Qoya Yoga. Since the launch of The Jacy Method, he’s worked with clients such as Nike, Life Is Good, and Mike Posner. He continues to travel around the country and help others find healing and connection through movement.
Jackie’s Bio
Jackie Stewart is a meditation teacher, mindfulness advisor, and certified integrative sound and music practitioner based in New York City.
Originally from California, Jackie moved to NYC with bachelor’s degrees in communication and leadership, a sense of adventure, and an introspective nature. While pursuing a master’s degree in media, culture, and communication at New York University, she was simultaneously building a presence for herself within the global fashion and entertainment communities as a model and actress. It was during this time when she felt the pull to find a mindful balance between the external world and her own inner life.
During a retreat at a monastery in Nepal, she connected with Tibetan Buddhist teachings and has explored and studied the various lineages ever since. Though she didn’t initially set out to teach meditation, this journey of self-discovery sparked her desire to share these teachings with others. She went on to complete The Interdependence Project's meditation teacher training, The Open Center's Integrative Sound and Music practitioner certification, and UC Berkeley’s Science of Happiness Program to help fuse this inner and outer world connection for others.
Today, Jackie brings mindfulness into action through her involvement in social activism, leading corporate meditations, engaging in philanthropic work, and motherhood. She also co-facilitates sound meditations alongside her husband throughout NYC.
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.
