Social Impact & Mindfulness Leader
Merging modern neuroscience with ancient Tibetan techniques, Cassandra Bianco has been featured in The New York Times for her work helping to demystify meditation.
She’s worked with beloved wellness brands and some of the world's most disruptive companies like Klarna and Spotify. She coaches her students on how to spend less time in the analytical mind, and instead invest more in the peaceful, natural state of wonder.
Cassandra's meditation focus is within the fields of psychology, contemplative science and neuroscience and is rooted in the interconnectedness of all beings.
For 17 years she’s trained with senior instructors and studied a lineage-based meditation with Thupten Phuntsok, a former Tibetan Buddhist monk. Phuntsok’s core teacher received direct guidance from a tutor to the Dalai Lama. In Bali she trained with instructors from Mumbai's Yoga Institute, the oldest organized yoga center in the world. She currently advises Holistic Life Foundation, a Baltimore-based non-profit replacing school detention centers with meditation programs.
Cassandra is currently based in Austin, guiding group and 1-on-1 sessions. She teaches internationally at events and retreats in New York City, France and Italy.
