Linh’s love for movement began back in 2009 when she began breakdancing to counter-act the stress from the rigors of college. She also explored the healing world of movements in breakdancing, capoeira, yoga, sufism, and a few other systems, trying to understand how movement is connected to our sense of health and well-being. She came to realize the importance of increasing our range of movements and expanding our kinesthetic awareness for holistic health and disease prevention.
