ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
A book is never written overnight or completed alone. I have
been blessed with a team of teachers, editors, friends, and
family who’ve made this all possible.
Thank you to Brian Hurley and the folks at Callisto Media
for giving me the platform to combine my two biggest loves,
writing and yoga. To all the others who contributed to this
book, including Katy Brown and Tom Bingham, thank you
for your hard work and dedication.
To the teachers who taught me how to be a yoga teacher:
James Brown and Alexandria Crow, thank you for teaching
me everything you know. I would not be qualifi ed to write
this book if it weren’t for you. Nicole Sciacca, thank you for
kicking my ass and being the fi rst to say “you should become
a teacher.” Without your support I would still be the quiet girl
in the back of the class.
To all the teachers who taught me how to put a sentence
together: Mr. Boetel, Mr. Bird, Mrs. Watson, T.C. Boyle, and
Aimee Bender, thank you for helping me to fi nd my voice
as a writer. To the teachers who taught me yoga when I was
just a beginner: Meghan Kennedy Townsend, Elise Joan,
David Romanelli, and Brock Cahill, thank you for your
patience. Without your classes I never would have stuck
with this practice.
