xvi • ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I know teachers usually get the whole summer off. Thank you for spending your summer
with this book.
To the Snyder Running Club, Yogis in Service, Inc., and all my yoga friends: Thank you
for all your love and support. As you all know, I wrote this book without missing a run, a
workout, or a yoga practice. Sustainability comes from good self-care and great friends. I
am lucky to have both.
Last, I would like to note the substantial gratitude I feel for Dr. Wendy Guyker, who
has joined my research team as a coleader. Her contributions and positive, creative energy
have supported the team and me as I worked on this project. I am looking forward to a
productive future with our Mindful Self-Care Scale (see Chapter 14) and all of our other
exciting projects.
Thank YOU!
