Bianca Ragone (USA) is a highly qualified yoga educator, teacher trainer and lifelong practitioner who has been immersed in the path of yoga for approximately 16 years and teaching for 14 years. With more than 1,000 hours of formal training across a variety of healing and movement modalities, her approach is rooted in classical yoga asana while also embracing meditation, pranayama, somatic exploration and the deeper spiritual dimensions of the practice. Bianca believes that sharing yoga is part of her dharma—her life’s purpose. She is especially passionate about working with students who are learning to become teachers, supporting them not only in developing practical teaching skills but also in discovering their own voice, wisdom and personal connection to yoga. For Bianca, the relationships formed with students who are deeply invested in their growth and development are among the most rewarding aspects of teaching. Her work has been strongly influenced by teachers from the Ashtanga, Hatha and Vishnu Ghosh lineages. While physical practice has played an important role in her journey, she has found that the spiritual aspect of yoga has gradually become the heart of her path. Her teaching invites students to move beyond focusing only on the external appearance of a posture and instead explore how the practice can be experienced internally. During Ulu Yoga teacher trainings, Bianca leads morning practices that may combine meditation, pranayama, asana, mudras and bandhas. These practices help students cultivate concentration, energetic awareness and a deeper understanding of the relationship between the body, breath and mind. Bianca also places great value on somatic work and intuitive movement. She incorporates these elements not only into yoga classes but also into heart-centered experiences such as cacao ceremonies, where students can step beyond the traditional structure of asana and explore movement, connection and ceremony in a way that may feel healing and transformational. Her goal is to create a supportive space where each student can deepen their inner awareness, connect with their own truth and recognize the wisdom they already possess. Bianca is grateful for the opportunity to share the practices that have challenged, changed and transformed her own life, and to accompany students as they grow into more conscious, confident and authentic teachers.
