Abby Richard founded The Skies Within Yoga Collective to share a unique fusion of healing practices drawn from Ancient Eastern science and Modern Neuroscience. Her work bridges the intuitive wisdom of the body with evidence-based tools for nervous system regulation and personal transformation.

Abby holds certifications in Multistyle Hatha (200 Hr), Adaptive (50 Hr), and Restorative Yoga (25 Hr) through Siddhi International Institute, along with a Level II Reiki certification earned through her work with Empath Health Hospice, offering energy healing to patients in end-of-life care. She graduated with honors from Colorado State University with a degree in Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience and is a first author on research published in The American Journal of Occupational Therapy, focused on adaptive yoga for individuals with brain injury.

Abby’s yoga journey began during her university studies, where she discovered the healing power of breath, movement, and presence. She began teaching in her living room six years ago and has since worked with individuals across a wide spectrum: brain injury survivors, elders, athletes, and everyday seekers; she brings accessible, heart-centered guidance to every session.

Her mission is simple yet profound: to help you heal your nervous system, embrace the weather patterns of your mind, and remember how to come home to your body, one breath at a time.
