Reconnect with your authentic self.

As your body begins to feel safe, deeper patterns naturally begin to surface—not to overwhelm you, but to be understood, released, and transformed.

YOUR GUIDE
Cherie SALMA Bianco
Author • Founder of the Root to Rise™ Method • Somatic Therapist & Kundalini Yoga Teacher
I help people who have spent years pushing through, caring for others, or feeling disconnected from themselves find greater steadiness, vitality, and trust in their own bodies.
For more than four decades, my work has brought together body-centered practices and spiritual wisdom. My Root to Rise™ Method weaves Core Energetics, Kundalini Yoga, and Q’ero shamanic practices, informed by years of Sufi study and a simple guiding belief:
When the body experiences safety, the soul begins to remember.
Through breath, movement, sound, and compassionate awareness, I guide people toward a deeper connection with themselves. I often call this “Feng Shui for the body”—creating space for greater ease and renewed possibility.
I am the author of Root to Rise, 365 Daily Return, and The Living Instrument. At Kundalini Bianco in Borrego Springs and online, I offer classes, private mentoring, and transformational retreats.
You don’t have to become someone new. You can begin by coming home to yourself.
Root. Rise. Remember.

Testimonials
I have found Cherie's style comprehensive, adaptive, calm, and soothing. During this year of involvement with Cherie, I have given up the use of alcohol and marijuana as self-medicating practices and enjoy a new lifestyle. I am forever grateful for her taking the time to work with me to this end and I will continue to participate in her functions in the future.

I've had yoga practice in my life for many years. But until I was introduced to the complexity and depth of Kundalini Yoga I was missing the essential element of connection between mind, body, spirit, and the universe. I am grateful to have found my teacher and guide in Cherie to continue my journey in the practice of Kundalini yoga.
Betty T.
I 100% enjoyed the chakra workshop yesterday. I experienced some profound revelations especially during the Savasana phase with your exquisite gong (I think that’s what you use). I love that you explain the reasoning behind each concept and exercise. I found chaotic movement uplifting and energizing. Your groups have always been wonderfully supportive Thank you for sharing your teachings with us.
Cynthia
Great class today, Cherie is a very dedicated and inspiring teacher and I love her class. Not only is it good exercise for my body, but it also brings me hope that there are still good people in the world.
