Lynn is the founder of the Sensory-Enhanced Yoga® Institute. Her special focus is on war-related sensory processing disorders and yoga as a therapy method. Since 2008, Lynn has been training yoga trainers and doctors in sensory yoga techniques to treat stress and PTSD.

Her “Sensory-Enhanced Yoga® for Self-Regulation & Trauma Healing” program is the result of the highly successful treatment protocol of the study Lynn helped develop.
