"'Where Science Meets Spirit: The Autobiography of a Paralyzed Yogi' is a potent, poignant and powerful reminder of what is possible when our aspiration meets a dedication to something significant. Only a truly gifted teacher and guide — who has chosen to fully embody the extraordinary potential of yoga — could have given this book to the world. Mary-Jo is one of my heroes. Well before you have finished it, I am sure she will be one of yours."

“Mary-Jo’s confidence in her own body and spirit, as well as her years of yoga practice, has led her to startling achievements way beyond the prognosis [predictions] for her diagnosis. You will be as inspired by her story as I am. Go Mary-Jo!”

"Mary-Jo Fetterly has an indomitable spirit not dimmed by her physical paralysis. Believing that health is a relationship between how you live, think, and feel, Mary-Jo chooses to accept the challenges life gives her as gifts and transforms the tragedy of her spinal cord injury into purpose and meaning. Her story is a lesson in healing for us all."

“I’ve had the honour of knowing Mary-Jo both before and after her accident; she is an example of yoga embodied. Her inspirational story will blow your mind and warm your heart.”

“Mary-Jo is an inspiration. Her story is a journey of meeting unimaginable challenges with strength and curiosity. She defies 'normal' through physical enquiry, mental reflection, and hard work. She teaches us through authenticity and integrity. It is a privilege to know and work with Mary-Jo; I have learned so much.”
