About Skoaching

Ryan Lybarger at the Team Pain Skatepark in Breckenridge, Colorado.

Helping skateboarders move better, feel better, and live longer—on and off the board.

You love skating. You push yourself. You’ve taken slams, gotten back up, and kept rolling. But as you grow—both on the board and in life—you start to wonder:
How can I keep doing what I love without breaking down?
How do I stay strong, mobile, and clear-headed for the long haul?

That’s where Skoaching comes in.

Skoaching is a space for skaters, martial artists, movement nerds, and healers who want to bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and modern performance. It’s built for people who care about health, longevity, and purpose—and who want tools that actually work.

Meet Your Guide

Hey, I’m Ryan Lybarger. I’ve been skating for over 20 years, and for the past decade, I’ve been deep in the world of Traditional Chinese Medicine, internal martial arts, massage, meditation, and herbal medicine.

I’ve studied psychology, completed over 4,000 hours of training in acupuncture, massage and herbalism, and earned my Master’s in Traditional Chinese Medicine with a specialization in Chinese Herbal Medicine. I’ve trained in Xingyiquan, Baguazhang, and Taijiquan, and I’ve had the privilege of teaching nei gong / qi gong practices related to these arts with a focus on healing, not just fighting.

I started Skoaching because I saw a need—a way to translate ancient, time-tested practices into something skaters and movement artists can actually use. No fluff. No dogma. Just real tools for real people living real lives.
