Teresa Richard

Certified yoga teacher and personal trainer Teresa Richard helps clients find their path through a combination of somatic movement and anatomy, Eastern philosophy, massage and reiki

- Mischa Moselle

Teresa Richard is reluctant to call herself a healer but rather defines her blend of techniques as a form of energy management. The Spanish woman behind Kshama Yoga says modern life, with its hierarchical systems and stresses that have us in constant ‘flight or fight’ mode leaves us disconnected from ourselves. Richard uses a mix of methods from yoga, reiki and Western and Eastern philosophies to help reunite hearts and souls with bodies and minds.

“We all can heal ourselves although sometimes we forget or feel lost about how to do it and some people can help to channel, to unlock our ability. The way I see it, my role is much more a guidance or an accompaniment through another’s person individual process,” says Richard. Her ability to nudge others in the direction of healing also comes from her storied personal experience that includes surviving breast cancer, making the leap from the corporate world to wellness and much travel.
