After assisting Irene Dowd in a study of the effects of Ideokinesis and exercise on maintaining mobility in the elderly, sponsored by the University of Pennsylvania, she organized an exercise class for retired members of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union, which she taught for fourteen years.
Lynn worked with The Carl Stough Institute of Breathing Coordination on special educational projects from 1995 until the Institute closed in 2001. She was Associate Producer of the Stough Institute's documentary video, Breathing: The Source of Life. She served on the Stough Institute Board of Directors and has been actively practicing and teaching the Principles of Breathing Coordination for more than twenty years.
A summa cum laude graduate of Fordham University with a B.A. degree in psychology, Lynn has also studied functional anatomy, Ideokinesis (theories of Dr. L. Sweigard) and dance with Irene Dowd and Dr. Drid Williams; and the function and structure of the vocal mechanism with Conrad L. Osborne. A deep interest in movement and voice led her to studies of Afro-Caribbean rhythms with Montego Joe and Pamela Patrick and Afro-Haitian Dance with Jean Léon Destiné, Serge St. Juste, and Pat Hall. As a member of The St. Cecilia Chorus, she has performed much of the great choral-orchestral repertoire at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center.
