Mallory is a huge science nerd and spends her days caring for patients in a hospital, taking graduate school classes, and reviewing PubMed articles. After years of this routine, burnout got the best of her and several autoimmune diseases manifested in her body. She found her way to Yoga Teacher Training which lit her up, however, it was also filled with too many "rules" for her taste, as she was searching for something with more freedom. Discovering Qoya has allowed her to honor the creativity that she had not been experiencing in her everyday life and move her body in a way that felt good. Having this outlet of freedom combined with her desire to progress in healthcare has been medicine to her soul. Honoring the paradoxes is the medicine she needed to allow her to heal.
