About
I help people come home to their bodies. I teach yoga, strength training, and somatic coaching that supports your nervous system, your lived experience, and your long-term wellness. Whether you're managing pain, rebuilding after burnout, navigating neurodivergence, or just craving a more meaningful connection to your body—I meet you where you are. No performance. No pressure. Just practices that work for real life. My name is Bianca, and I’m a yoga teacher, personal trainer, somatic movement guide, holistic wellness coach, trauma-aware and neurodivergent educator, and founder of East Meets West Training. Over the las decade, I’ve taught nearly 3,000 hours of yoga and worked with clients around the world to build strength, calm, and confidence—one breath, one movement, one day at a time.

PERSONAL TRAINING Strength doesn’t have to mean strain. I design strength and mobility programs that are gentle on joints, mindful of your nervous system, and tailored to your real-life goals—not someone else’s idea of fitness.

If you’ve been trying to make changes but keep hitting the same blocks—whether it’s energy crashes, emotional burnout, inconsistency, or stress overload—coaching can help you create real momentum. I offer holistic, somatic, and behavior change–based coaching to support: -Sustainable habit change without shame or extremes -Stress and nervous system regulation for more energy and calm -Rebuilding trust with your body after burnout, pain, or trauma -Cycle-aware planning and emotional support for neurodivergent folks -Weight-neutral guidance for strength, nourishment, and vitality -Personalized plans that actually fit your life Coaching is available virtually and can be added to any yoga or training program.

REIKI & ENERGY HEALING SESSIONS Sometimes healing isn’t about doing more—it’s about allowing your body the space to restore. I offer Reiki and intuitive energy work sessions designed to support your nervous system, clear emotional buildup, and reconnect you to a deeper sense of calm, clarity, and self-trust. These sessions are gentle but powerful, and often include elements of breathwork, grounding touch, guided stillness, or somatic prompts—depending on what your body is calling for. Ideal for: -Nervous system overload or burnout -Emotional heaviness or energetic stagnation -Sleep challenges, anxiety, or sensory overwhelm -Times of transition, grief, or creative block -Anyone craving a reset that’s more subtle than a stretch—but just as needed You’ll leave feeling more grounded, open, and at peace—in body, mind, and energy. Sessions are available in-person or virtually. You don’t need to believe in Reiki for it to support you—you just need to be open to stillness, intention, and the wisdom your body already carries. ABOUT BIANCA & EAST MEETS WEST TRAINING I created East Meets West Training to bridge the gap between science and soul. After healing from narcolepsy through yoga and breathwork in 2014, I committed my life to helping others reclaim their energy, confidence, and wholeness. I’ve trained across the U.S. and Asia in yoga, somatics, fitness, and behavior change. Today, I support people from all walks of life—from stressed-out professionals to neurodivergent entrepreneurs to high-performing teams—through compassionate, customized wellness that actually works.

I immediately felt comfortable with Bianca. We spoke a bit about my physical pain and she helped me with some somatic yoga moves. My Reiki session felt therapeutic and healing. I would highly recommend Bianca for Reiki. I am also very interested in her somatic yoga online classes.

Highly recommend! Bianca was friendly and knowledgeable, and created a welcoming environment for our mixed yogi levels. She traveled to us and worked with our group of 9 friends to lead a yoga session with various levels from beginner to advanced. Bianca's session was a great way to start off our girlfriends-weekend!

I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your time and efforts in teaching us the much-needed yoga stretches during our recent COPA session. Your guidance in helping us take deep breaths and recenter ourselves was truly invaluable. The yoga stretches you shared were not only physically beneficial but also provided a much-needed opportunity for us to find inner calm and balance amidst our busy schedules. Your expertise and clear instructions made it easy for everyone to follow along and fully engage in the practice. The session left us feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and better equipped to handle the demands of our daily work. It was a wonderful reminder of the importance of self-care and the positive impact it can have on our overall well-being. Thank you once again for your time, patience, and dedication in leading us through these yoga stretches. Your contribution made a significant difference to our COPA session, and we are immensely grateful for your presence. Wishing you continued success in your teaching endeavors, and I look forward to future opportunities to benefit from your expertise. With deep appreciation, L. Renee

I was initially a bit skeptical of hiring a private yoga instructor on Thumbtack. I am so glad that I did. I am a runner and have been having problems with general tightness. This was exactly what I needed. My first session was fantastic. She listened to my needs and concerns and designed a session around these needs. She was incredibly professional and I was able to trust the process. I signed up for 10 more sessions immediately. Thank you for being great.

Bianca is the best! Hands down. Not only because of the quality of her yoga teachings, but because she goes above and beyond! She helped me plan an execute an entire Valentines Day experience for my wife. She prepared home-made chocolate covered strawberries, herbal tea, met with me to have pre-set flowers, etc.
