A demanding career in K-12 education led Alynthia to bring co-regulation, stress relief, and trauma healing to the classroom community through yoga. Lifelong learning has taken her across the country and around the world to support positive change in marginalized places with organizations like Memphis Teacher Residency, Peace Corps Response, and Creative Forces: NEA Military Healing Arts Network. Researching the benefits of mindfulness while witnessing the global decline in school mental health ultimately led her to pursue certification in Dance and Movement Therapy during the COVID-19 pandemic. After decades of bringing the creative arts and social emotional literacy to children, she officially became a Registered-Dance Movement Therapist (R-DMT) with the American Dance Therapy Association and a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 200) with Breathe For Change.
