Bianca Sapetto

The body as a landscape for self-discovery is the root of Bianca’s teaching. The seed of this philosophy was planted early, in her career as an Olympic athlete and five-time National Champion rhythmic gymnast. It blossomed with her artistic career as an aerial artist, dancer, and choreographer for Cirque du Soleil and many other performing arts companies and productions around the world. She branched out as a teacher in the early 2000’s, an organic development on her path of inquiry of the creative self. Bianca discovered yoga in the late 1990’s and in 2009, received her yoga teacher’s training certificate, led by mentor Annie Carpenter. She has lead classes and workshops at the Rock N’Roll Hall of Fame, USC, UCLA, Esalen, National Young Arts Foundation, Joffrey Ballet, PEN USA, Treefort festival at both Hackfort and Yogafort, and yoga, acting, dance, and circus schools across the country. Her classes draw upon intelligently aligned asana, acrobatic and dance techniques, pranayama, yogic philosophy, mythology, and deep, intuitive listening to one’s own body. Bianca devotes her experience to that of her student’s practice.
