StephenieAnne Richardson

I am dual certified in 200-hours of Hatha and Vinyasa styles, and a Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance. My personal practice began in 2010 as a way to get to know myself better, to connect to my spiritual Self, and to relieve my depression and anxiety. In 2018, I trained at Root Yoga in Oxford, Ohio, where my teaching journey began, and sparked a deep passion for sharing the practice with others. Teaching studio classes eventually led to private clients and one-on-one sessions, workplace yoga, and a variety of events. I’ve had the pleasure of leading practices for university-level athletes/sports teams, couples/partners, and work families/teams. I’ve also worked one-on-one with seniors and individuals with chronic diseases & conditions, such as arthritis, dementia, and cancer. My oldest client was 94 years young! She was a great inspiration. Not only am I a yoga teacher, but I’m also a Clinical Nutritionist and Gardener. I have a BA in Botany with minors in Horticulture and Women, Gender, & Sexuality Studies from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. I went on to earn a MS in Clinical Nutrition from Sonoran University of Health Sciences in Tempe, Arizona. When I’m not teaching yoga, I’m working with clients designing Personalized Nutrition and Wellness Plans, as a Gardener tending to flower gardens and small landscapes for clients, and at the University of Cincinnati as Adjunct Faculty in the Horticulture Department. You’ll also find me volunteering with the Lake Cumberland Master Gardeners Association, getting creative with food in my kitchen, and having fun dancing through life with my partner of 14 years, Tschetan. I have a passion for guiding others along their personal self-healing journey by weaving together the beautiful details of plants, yoga, and nutrition. I believe that plants speak to us in ways of the universe, yoga helps us find our home, and the foods we eat are intended to heal us not harm us. I aim to teach my students and clients the skills and techniques to prioritize self-care and find continued growth throughout their entire life.
