A native of western Maryland, Bianca developed a love for yoga and pilates many years ago as a teenager. She found both styles of mind-body fitness very helpful in promoting overall well-being. After injuring her hip during childbirth, Bianca became serious about pilates and discovered the benefits of using the apparatus while healing her hip and getting her strength back, post-partum. Quick results inspired her to become a certified pilates instructor. She was trained in mat and apparatus through Power Pilates in Annapolis, MD under the guidance of Marcia Hagemann, Erin Horst and Tressa Campbell. After establishing a successful Pilates practice, Reiki Healing Certifications and Holistic Consulting business, Bianca returned to her studies and obtained her Yoga certification through Shiva Rea’s Samudra School of Living Yoga under the mentorship of Maria Garre. She continues to study with Shannon Paige Schneider adding certification in Anjali Restorative and Bhava Vinyasa Yoga.

She lives and plays in Boulder, CO with her husband, Michael Shearer, and four yogi children ages 9, 5, 3 and 2 months.
