Her publication record shows a clear progression from foundational studies on Yoga to increasingly specialized work on Jain Yoga texts. The recent articles (2024-2025) demonstrate deep engagement with specific Jain Yoga texts like the Yogapradīpa, Tattvārthasūtra, and works by Haribhadra and Hemacandra, while her upcoming 2026-2027 publications promise to make significant contributions to understanding Jain concepts of self and philosophical approaches to Yoga. Dr. Lhoir has been actively involved in teaching and knowledge dissemination, designing courses on Introduction to Jain Philosophy and Jain Yoga, Indian Intellectual History, and Origins of Yoga at both undergraduate and continuing education levels. Her teaching often combines hybrid formats with close textual analysis and broader cultural framing. She has taught master classes at Ghent University and SOAS, and developed the blended-learning course "Light on the Dark Age of Jain Yoga" for the Arihanta Institute. She maintains a strong public engagement presence through media interviews, expert commentary in national outlets like Deutschlandfunk, and participation in roundtables on topics including "Alternative Career Paths in Religious Studies" and "Social Responsibility as Yoga Teachers."
