I’m Kristin Richmond — a collaborator, mentor, and creative working behind the scenes of some of the most heart-driven wellness spaces and studios in the Southeast.

For over a decade, I’ve worked across the yoga industry: teaching full-time, managing studios, mentoring teachers, and co-creating offerings that felt both meaningful and sustainable. Here’s what I’ve learned:

Being passionate about your work doesn’t mean it’s easy to run a business.

Many of the most intuitive, talented leaders I’ve worked with stepped away because they felt stuck, exhausted, or unsure how to evolve without burning out. And most of them were doing it alone.

That’s why I created The Heart of Practice — a space to offer what I wished existed sooner:

Strategic clarity, embodied support, and soulful collaboration for teachers and studio owners.

My approach blends grounded business insight with a deep respect for rhythm, rest, and right timing. It’s part coaching, part consulting, part sanctuary. Whether we’re refining your studio systems or helping you step into a new teaching role, we always come back to this:

What would shift if you trusted your voice more fully??

I specialize in working with:

  • Studio owners ready to grow with more alignment (not just more hustle)

  • Yoga teacher trainers who want to equip their trainees with tools for sustainable careers

  • Facilitators and creatives at a crossroads, seeking clarity, structure, or their voice again

Your work is important. Your vision deserves intention. You don’t have to figure it all out alone.
