Headspace overview

In 2004, Andy Puddicombe returned to London from a ten year expedition training as a Buddhist monk. Soon after, he established his own private meditation practice.

In 2010, one of his clients, Richard Pierson, helped him establish Headspace.

Headspace was originally an events company, offering prospective clients a way to work with Puddicombe.

Several clients eventually asked him for material to take home. This led to a few friends of Puddicombe and Pierson building an app to fill that need.

Originally, the app came with just a few online sessions, which followed the classes taught in London.

Now, Headspace is used all over the world by millions of people for meditation and mindfulness practices, and also yoga.
