BIANCA VOLANS
WellBeing Facilitator
Come HOME to you. Fall in love with taking care of yourself. Realign with your HEARTMIND and create a healthier, happier HOME inside and out, becoming the powerful CREATOR of your own life experience.
GREETINGS DEAR ONE
I am Bianca Volans and I am passionate about people and their well-Being. I love listening to people's journeys and life stories. I love a good laugh, I feel humour is a wonderful place to connect with others! I am a mother of two beautiful children, who are my greatest teachers! With over 13 years of yoga teaching experience, in
various studios, private yoga classes and corporate spaces, my passion for this sacred practice continues to grow. My journey in teaching teachers in yoga teacher trainings over the last 7 years, with over 700 hours of trainings, has taught me so much more about myself, the human condition and the path and practice of growth both on and off the mat.
I have other gifts to share with you- through my own experience and practice of Yoga, Meditation, Breathwork, Massage and Energy Healing, all beautiful opportunities to connect with you, inspiring you and reminding you of
your true connection to yourself and love. I believe we are all the powerful CREATORS of our own life experience. I seek to remind you of your innate true essence and exquisite
potential within you to create a life of harmony, balance, and beauty. I am in service of this remembering and love.
Nature inspires me, fills me up with healing energy and restores balance and harmony within in me from beautiful sunsets, beach walks, forest meanders to being amongst precious animals! I love to connect one on one or in groups, with heart people
and enjoy deep and meaningful dialogue and conversations, where we can also laugh at ourselves and life! Travelling to new places be it local or abroad, always excites me. And when I am home, my home is my sanctuary, I love just
BEING at home, taking in the pause, cooking a beautiful meal, basking in sacred space or a good kitchen dance thrown in for good measure!
I look forward to our heart connection together soon, through the joy of Yoga, the soul touch of massage, the light of Energy Healing or just an inspiring conversation over Tarot, Essential Oils or the beauty of living this interesting, beautiful life Earth side.

THE HIGHLIGHTS OF MY JOURNEY SO FAR....
2007 - Present
In the beginning of my Entreprenuer journey I wore two hats - working in Travel as a Corporate Consultant and juggling my passion work of Soul Massage, Reflexology and Yoga. During this time I also qualified as a Children's Yoga teacher and taught at schools and studios, I ran my own small studio for a while (Just B Yoga) and founded Full Circle Yoga, running day retreats, raising funds for organisations in need. I slowly made my way out of the corporate world, leaving it entirely to follow my passion work in 2018 - working my way through offering mobile massage service, teaching private yoga clients, holding various workshops and retreats to arrive in having my own healing space at Harcroft House, Constantia, offering all my gifts as well as Lead Yogi at The Source Yoga Studio.
Up until Jun 2022, I ran my business from Harcroft House, where I had private clients in yoga, Soul Massage and Energy Healing, as well as ran workshops. I taught 4 yoga classes and lectured for the 200hr Yoga Teacher Training at The Source Yoga and Pilates studio. I also offered mobile Massage treatments in the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town. I am also a tutor on the faculty with The International School of Intuition and Healing, facilitating on their 2 year Energy Healing course. Presently also completing the third module in a Life Coaching course too.
What have I learned? Always, always to follow my passion, my hearts calling. To be kind to all who cross my path - everyone has a story. Life happens for me not to me. Question everything! Don't sweat the small stuff and love hard! I have listening skills that are my super power! Healing happens when we are ready. A strong gratitude practice empowers me. We all have free will and choice - it's what we do with that that matters.
2015 - Jun 2022
Taught 4 - 6 classes a week - Vinyasa, Yin and Gentle Yoga. Lead Yoga Lecturer / Instructor for the 200-hour Teacher Training programmes offered at The Source - up to 4 trainings a year. Offered various workshops and created and facilitated 30day yoga challenge in 2019. Teacher Trainings included travel to Pretoria, Johannesburg, Namibia and Malawi. Mindful Monday facilitator. Assisting studio owners with the day to day running of the business. Assisting studio owners with creating and maintaining the Vision of The Source. Soul Massage therapist also offering massage at The Source. July - August 2019 - travelled to Mauritius - One & Only Le Saint Geran, - teaching group classes and private yoga classes for guests and staff of the resort.
What have I learned? Holding space for others often means checking in my own ego first, my heart intention leads. There is a beautiful magic in a like minded community. Collaboration is powerful. Human connection and touch is necessary for growth and a sense of belonging. We cannot do this life alone, community is imperative to grow and heal. Yoga is a transformational tool.
1993 - 2018
Starting as a junior travel consultant I took on the journey of the corporate world and it's ladder. I was placed in leadershlp roles of Team Leader, Operations Manager and Office Manager in various companies. I was also exposed to large group bookings and management in leading travel projects in both the corporate incentive industry and film industry.
What did I learn? I love being part of a team but can also lead the team. I am able to work under pressure. I love systems that work! Being busy isn't necessarily healthy or the key to wellbeing. Building solid client relationships is the foundation for success. Initiative, and a healthy positive outlook helps to get things done!
1996 - 1998
I took 2 years to travel Europe and experience work life there. I had amazing work experience in the travel industry as well as hospitality industry and was fortunate enough to also travel Europe - Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Romania and Hungary.
What did I learn? Life is for living. The World is a beautiful place and exploring it brings me joy. Find the fun in the work you do. Visit the edge of your comfort zones ....often!

Bianca Teaching Profile
Full Circle Movement With Meaning April 2012
Yoga Aid World Challenge - SA 2012
TESTIMONY
Bianca has been an integral part of our faculty in our 300hr Yoga Teacher Training programmes. She is accomplished in leading the Vinyasa Module, which includes asana, philosophy, bhakti, pranayama, teaching skills and lifestyle lectures. With her authenticity and kindness, she is integrated and empowers students to find their own authentic teacher within themselves. Bianca is able to connect at a heart space with her students and offers her time and energy freely for their growth and expansion. Bianca is the most integrated yogi we in the sense of dedicated physical practice, teaching (and doing her own) spiritual inner work, and chanting....to name a few. Bianca has been a lead lecturer on the course, my right arm, and most importantly, a good friend. She is highly regarded by her students and peers and we would re-hire her in a heartbeat if she were to return.
Bryan MacDonell & Renee Watson - Owners
The Source Yoga & Pilates Studio
Bianca Volans has been an incredible influence in my yoga studio, Haum of Yoga, as a sincere student since 2007 and teacher since 2009. She first joined my studio in 2007 and practiced with consistency and dedication. She later did her first 200 hour Yoga teacher training course with me ERYT – through Haum of Yoga registered with Yoga Alliance RYS200, in 2009 and did the course again in 2010. In 2011, Bianca assisted me on my teacher training course.
She taught many classes a week at Haum of Yoga from 2009 until 2012.
Bianca found a passion for yoga and teaching, and holds space with a sincere and open heart. She creates space for a student to step into themselves, heart and all through the way in which she holds space. She is knowledgeable and enthusiastic in her practice and her teachings. Her tapas is gently strong and committed.
I recommend Bianca for any educational, healing and therapeutic endeavours. I think she will be an asset regardless of the way she is involved as she takes ownership of her scope of influence which empowers all those around her.
Kerry Anne Weavind
Yoga Mentor, Healer & Practical Philosopher
I met Bianca when I was teaching at a local studio in Cape Town in 2016 and we both taught on teacher trainings together. I have also taught and practiced for many years and encountered many other teachers in Cape Town but asked Bianca to come and teach at our retreat center when I took on my role as Director of Wellness due to her having some incredibly special traits. Bianca is extremely experienced and authentic, and she holds an incredibly compassionate and warm space for students. Her classes are well-rounded and deeply mindful. Bianca holds a very special energy, and her students really love and look up to her. I always felt very cared for and discovered a different kind of presence in her classes, having practiced Ashtanga for many years. Bianca is very reliable, punctual and responsive. I highly recommend Bianca as a teacher and space holder. She will bring so much wisdom to any class or retreat.
Romy Paull - Director of Wellness
Future Found Sanctuary
Bianca is more than a massage therapist, she is a healer. She knew instinctively what was needed. Two years ago, I contacted her for private yoga sessions, once a week. She is an incredible teacher, she pushed me very gently out of my comfort zones, however, she considered my competitive nature and injuries. With her unique sense of humour, her kindness and nurturing spirit, she helped me with my progress in my yoga practice, despite all my running injuries. My weekly sessions with here were a highlight of my week. She is a true professional. She has a passion for helping people. Her inherent kindness is offset by her feisty spirit. This delightful combination made any of her sessions a treat. She will be missed by all her clients and students. Anyone had the opportunity to be touched by Bianca's spirit, will always remember her with love.
Hanrie Fridjhon - Managing Director
Pro-Active Communications
Bianca is an exceptional teacher and mentor. I would not have completed my training without her encouragement and patience.
I am the events coordinator for Harcroft House and asked Bianca to joins us as our mindfulness facilitator. It was completely her own business, which she ran very successfully. Bianca also offered workshops at Harcroft. I participated in her workshops and found them very beneficial to my own personal growth. I also benefited from her treatments, especially, Energy Healing. I found her to work with incredible intuition, always receiving what I needed at that specific time in my own difficulties and healing trauma. I wish Bianca all the best and success in her ventures. She is missed at Harcroft everyday.
Chantal Misplon - Events Co-Ordinator
Harcroft House, Cape Town
I had been practicing hatha yoga for two years before coming under Bianca’s tutelage and her considerable expertise in holding space helped not only to open my physical yoga practice but to deepen my personal development journey too. Yoga became a life practice for me, instead of a weekly class, because of this integration. As yoga teacher-trainer, Bianca taught us the physical and energetic complexities of each asana, urging us to learn from our whole bodies and beings and not just from our heads. She taught us the importance of respecting each person’s experience on the mat and of thoughtful cues and adjustments to invite our students deeper into the poses, their practice and their experience. Bianca remained unwavering in maintaining the integrity of the practices and poses of yoga while at the same time holding compassionate space for the uniqueness of human bodies and experiences. As massage and energy therapist, workshop facilitator and life coach she creates an incredible nurturing experience. She is generous with her attention, consideration and care and thoughtful in her guidance. Bianca often presents a unique perspective that is simultaneously simple and practical yet profound and deeply impactful. I always leave with the experience of being valued, important and enjoyed.
