Henry Richardson
Founder and CEO, Define Body & Mind
After earning 10 All-American honors and a National Championship title for springboard and platform diving, Henry Richardson has always had a passion for sports and movement. After diving, Henry moved to New York City to be a part of the Teach For America program teaching sixth graders in the South Bronx. Surprised by the continuous pain Henry felt from old diving injuries, Henry ventured into his first yoga class at the suggestion of a friend. It was during yoga that Henry realized he wanted to share his passion of movement and helping others by teaching yoga.
This passion was noticed. After a few months of teaching, Henry was asked to lead new store openings in New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco for the company Exhale Spa. Interested in learning more about the business, Henry moved back to Texas where he graduated from Rice University with his Masters in Business Administration. It was in business school in 2008 when his professor said we all must "define" our role in this world, and from that moment on, DEFINE was born. DEFINE is a body and mind fitness studio that now has over 20 locations across the USA and abroad.
As the Founder and CEO of DEFINE, Henry is interested in bringing body, mind, and spiritual well-being to clients' lives through: his beautiful studio atmosphere, exceptional instructor training, attention to clients well-being, and delivery of balanced body and mind programming. Henry is also a graduate from the University of Pennsylvania where he graduated with distinction with a Masters in Applied Positive Psychology. His work has been focused on practical applications of spirituality as a way of bringing life into individuals, businesses, and communities. Henry's mission is to help individuals as well as organizations "define their role" in this world by co-creating positive environments for individuals, families, businesses, and communities to thrive.
