It is not a blissed-out bright-siding of the truth of who we are and where we come from.* And it is not the exclusion of any part of our experience or history. Yoga means “to yoke,"-Kerri Kelly, American Detox: The Myth of Wellness and How We Can Truly Heal

"For me, disability wasn't in the chronic pain I experience to this day, nor the inability to sit or stand or walk for long periods of time, nor in being unable to carry bags while shopping or traveling, nor losing feeling and function in my right arm. It existed in all the places I couldn't go, all of the activities I couldn't engage in. And it existed in my isolation."-Kerri Kelly, American Detox: The Myth of Wellness and How We Can Truly Heal
