  • This is how you serve your community. You witness. You respond. You deliver. At BIÂN, our fall lineup of workshops and courses was built with serious intention—and led by our professional team to meet the needs we see, the goals we hear, and the aspirations our members share. Each experience is designed to push limits, expand skills, and nurture well-being in ways that truly matter bringing the micro-communities at the club together. Highlights include: - Lifting for Women with Caroleen Wheeland - Yoga for Very Beginner, Very Inflexible Men with Weldon (Woni) Lang - Golden Movement for 50+ with Kristine Palka - Advanced Classical Mat Pilates Progressions with Lynne Alberding - Merciless Fridays: Men’s Advanced Fitness Training with Zac Walters - Foundations of Presence: Meditation & Mindfulness with Nicole Eng - Manifesting: Rewiring Your Mind for Success with Dominica Fisher - Classical Mat Progression Series with Melissa Thompson - A Yoga & Somatic Approach to Stress, Hormones & Resilience with Nicole Belica This isn’t just a schedule. It’s a response to our community. www.livebian.com

  • Men’s health is critical. Not only their medical health, but also their emotional and social well-being. It’s a big push—and we are here for it. Recently, we created a custom program for a select group of senior finance leaders. The evening is designed as more than just an event—it will be an immersive wellness experience built to elevate energy, sharpen leadership, and foster true connection. We will begin with personalized InBody scans, giving each participant science-backed insights into their unique body composition. Our Director of Fitness, Zac Walters, will bring these results to life, helping the group understand how their physical health translates into performance in work and life. From there, the conversation moves to the table. Over a curated menu crafted with men’s health in mind, Dr. Ben Schuff, our Director of Naturopathy & Nutrition, and Chef Ryan Maher will guide a dialogue on how food, lifestyle, and science can serve as tools for sustainable high performance. What unfolds will be more than education. It wil be a reminder that wellness, leadership, and connection are inseparable. And for men, it is imperative. This is the future of men’s health. And we’re just getting started. www.livebian.com

  • Earlier this year, we introduced Member Led Groups at BIÂN. A simple idea that has quickly grown into a meaningful part of our community! What began as a way to bring people with shared interests together has become something much deeper. These groups have created new friendships, sparked collaborations, and opened pathways for club programming that enrich both our members and our team. In just a short time, we’ve seen members gather for conversations in the Finance Group, swap ideas and encouragement in the Entrepreneur Group, explore nature offsite through the Garden Series Club, support one another in the New Moms Group, share the stage at Music Lovers Jam Night, and discover new vintages in the Wine Enthusiasts Group. The real story isn’t just the events themselves—it’s how our members step forward to shape them. By creating space for curiosity and shared interest, these groups showcase that BIÂN is more than a private club; it’s a living, breathing ecosystem. It fully empowers you to live a more vital life. www.livebian.com

    One of the greatest privileges of my work is listening deeply— and actually hearing what a team, a culture, or an organization truly needs to thrive. From there, the real work begins: shaping experiences that don’t just teach, but transform. After a powerful conversation with a potential new national client, it became clear that the support their leaders needed was not surface-level training, but something much deeper: a framework for resilience, wellness, and collaboration that could ripple into every corner of their work and lives. This is my specialty. From that conversation, a four-part custom series was born: October – Mindful Empowerment: Navigating Resilience and Well-Being November – Wellness as a Leadership Competency December – Communication Mastery: Strategies that Fuel Collaboration & Inspiration January – Developing Your Systems This isn’t about checking a box. It’s about creating lasting change...empowering leaders to reclaim their energy, embody wellness as a leadership skill, communicate with impact, and design systems that turn intention into sustainable results. No fluff. Only Action. The ripple effect of this kind of work is profound: when leaders shift at this level, so do their teams, their organizations, and ultimately, the communities they touch. This is why I still coach. Executives, youth, and anyone in between who simply wants change and is willing to do the work. Because when we integrate wellness, empowerment, and leadership, we don’t just build better leaders—we build better cultures, and better futures. - Mar BIÂN https://lnkd.in/g_QrZAZ5

    In the world of corporate leadership development or organizational learning, the programs tend to be one-size-fits-all, filled with theory, jargon, and slides that fall flat the second the session ends. They inspire in the moment, but don’t stick. They talk at leaders instead of transforming them. BIÂN's Corporate Speakers are different. We don’t do generic. We design experiences that are alive, personalized, and rooted in science that ignites change through being appropriately equipped with real skills, deep motivation, and collective purpose. Every keynote, workshop, or program is built to shift behavior, unlock resilience, and fuel performance—not just check a box. Whether inside your office or inside BIÂN, our experiences transform meaningfully. Benefit from the trusted leadership of BIÂN with our public Corporate Speaker opportunities. https://lnkd.in/gFwqwXU4

    For too long, sexual wellness has been pushed to the margins of women’s health conversations—treated as something private, even taboo. Yet when women begin to explore this area openly, something profound happens: health, vitality, relationships, and even self-confidence shift in meaningful ways. Addressing sexual wellness isn’t indulgent; it is a pillar of overall well-being. It impacts how women show up in their bodies, in their partnerships, in their work, and in their lives. On Wednesday, September 3rd from 5:45–7:00 PM, BIÂN will host Sexual Wellness Uncovered, an intimate womens-only panel designed to break silence, deepen understanding, and empower women to reclaim agency in this essential area of life. Our panel, moderated by Dr. Avanti Kumar-Singh, MD, brings together leaders across gynecology, pelvic health, mindset, and lifestyle to explore the many layers of sexual wellness: Dr. Sameena Rahman, OB/GYN and women’s health expert, will share the most common issues women face—from hormonal vulnerability and low libido to genito-urinary concerns—and reframe the truth about intimacy during and after menopause. Dr. Leah Howard, BIÂN’s Pelvic Floor Specialist, will break myths about pelvic health, showing how strength, recovery, and function directly influence comfort, confidence, and sexual satisfaction. Mar Soraparu, BCC, BIÂN Co-Founder & Chief Wellness Officer, will speak to the power of mindset, body confidence, and lifestyle integration—helping women overcome stigma and claim pleasure as part of a vibrant, meaningful life. Sexual wellness is often the “missing link” in standard care, but it is inseparable from vitality and longevity. This panel will normalize the conversation, provide practical tools, and connect the dots between pelvic health, hormones, mindset, and lifestyle. This is a call to curiosity, courage, and empowerment. Together, we’ll uncover how reclaiming sexual wellness can unlock deeper health, greater intimacy, and more meaningful connection across every decade of life. Complimentary Offering for Members

    I hear from men... “I’m not ready for studio classes. I’m too inflexible. Too big. Too much of a beginner.” I am here to change it. This fall, one of our 12 seasonal courses is Yoga for Very Inflexible & Beginner Men—created to remove the barriers, shift the narrative, and build confidence from the ground up. While our team of seasoned and highly skilled professionals can accommodate any level, we know the first step can feel daunting. This course is a supportive environment designed for men to move, breathe, and begin—so that walking into any of our 15 daily studio and fitness classes feels not only possible, but where men feel prepared. This is about more than yoga. This is about listening and responding. This is about going beyond. This is BIÂN. BIÂN
