Authors Acknowledgments

Writing a book is a long and often very difficult process. I would have never been able to tackle this project on my own, so Id like to give my thanks and appreciation to all those who have worked so hard and with such creative energy to help me see it through.

I first want to thank Karen Young (Acquisitions Editor), who is not only a wonderful worker, but also a really cool woman, and who helped me from the very beginning. Id also like to thank Stacy Klein (Acquisitions Coordinator), Tracy Boggier (Acquisitions Manager), Lee Edgren (Technical Reviewer), Raul Marroquin (Photographer), and Gwenette Gaddis (Copy Editor) for their excellent work. Lorna Gentry (Professional Writing Assistant) polished my work and made it into a wonderful book. Kathleen Dobie (Project Editor) has encouraged and inspired me with suggestions and moral support when the work ahead seemed overwhelming. Carol Susan Roth (Literary Agent) brought me to this wonderful publisher and helped me see the project through.

Additional thanks: I would also like to thank my brother, Master Ashtanga teacher David Swenson, for his support and encouragement and for writing the foreword to this book. I also would like to thank Beryl Bender, author of Power Yoga and Beyond Power Yoga, for taking the time out of her busy life to write a blurb for this book. If it werent for the teachings and work of David Williams and Nancy Gilgoff (two of the first and best American teachers of Ashtanga Yoga) this information would not be available today. I would also like to thank the talented actress Karen Allen for her kind words and wonderful friendship. I would like to give special thanks to John Friend for taking time and energy out of his busy schedule to acknowledge this work. John has truly influenced endless Yoga students with his wonderful style of teaching Yoga.
