HENRY RICHARDSON DEFINE body & mind Founder

DEFINE body & mind was developed by founder and Houston native Henry Richardson in 2009. After a successful career as an All-American and National Team Member for Springboard and Platform Diving, Henry moved to New York City where he joined Teach For America educating 6th grade children in the South Bronx.

As a teacher, Henry was surprised that his old injuries from diving were still causing discomfor t and by the end of his f irst year teaching, this was severely af fecting his ability to enjoy his work.

With the encouragement of a fr iend, Henry began taking his f irst Pilates/Yoga/Ballet hybrid classes. Six months later, he taught his very f irst class, and within one year, was helping open studios across the country. In 2007, he moved back to Houston to begin his MBA at Rice University.
