With a background in delivering therapeutic gardening programs for adults with special educational needs, Richard expanded his expertise by training in yoga, achieving a 500RYT certification under the original founders of Seasonal Yoga in Glasgow. He pursued further specialized training with The Minded Institute, focusing on using yoga to support adults dealing with trauma and PTSD, and with the Special Yoga Foundation, preparing him to volunteer for a local project that provided yoga as a therapeutic intervention for children facing physical and emotional challenges. These trainings enriched his general classes, where Richard observed how participants used their practice to navigate a variety of challenges in their daily lives—just as he had done himself, inspiring his career shift. When the pandemic shifted everything online, Richard identified an opportunity for a new approach. He created Restoration Station, a program designed to offer a range of practices including breath work, sound therapy, various meditation techniques, relaxation, and visualization exercises. Discussions during these sessions highlighted the numerous personal resources people possess yet often forget to use when needed most. These classes proved beneficial for both seasoned practitioners and beginners, allowing everyone to enhance their set of tools and increase the likelihood of applying them in everyday life.
