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 Reiki Master and Cofacilitator certification earned through her work with Empath Health Hospice, offering care 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, “Participants with Acquired Brain Injury Realized They ‘Could Still Do Things’ After a Yoga Intervention: A Qualitative Desciptive Study”.

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 in 2020 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.

Our 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.
