ABOUT THE TEACHER
-
Bianca Oliveira is an authorised Level II Ashtanga teacher, blessed by Paramaguru R. Sharath Jois to teach the full Primary and Intermediate Series. She studied Advanced A and Pranayama directly under Sharath Jois until his passing and had the honor of assisting him in Mysore.
Her studies continue under senior Western teachers, with recent certifications in Pranayama and ongoing learning in Vedanta and Yoga philosophy with her Indian teacher.
Originally from Brazil, Bianca took her first yoga class at 18 and felt an immediate, deep connection. After moving to the USA in 2009 as a performer with RBBB Circus, her calling to yoga resurfaced. She completed her first teacher training in Boone, NC, and was introduced to Ashtanga by Sharath Jois during his 2013 U.S. tour. She has been traveling to Mysore since 2015, fully dedicating herself to the traditional path of Ashtanga Yoga.
Bianca now teaches internationally—leading classes, workshops, retreats, and privates—while walking the spiritual path of yoga with humility and devotion. As a mother, she deeply understands the dance between practice and family life, and lives by the principles of discipline, surrender, and non-attachment.
She considers herself a lifelong student and finds joy in sharing the transformative power of this practice—both on and off the mat.
"Practice, and all is coming."
— Sri K. Pattabhi Jois
