Unlike books on yoga that provide instruction on technique, Going Om: Real-Life Stories On and Off the Yoga Mat is a unique collection of never-before-seen personal narratives from celebrated authors. In addition, the successful bidder for this item will receive three audio recordings of guided meditations: Relaxation for Travel, Forgiveness Meditation, and Guided Relaxation for Deep Sleep.

Melissa Carroll teaches the largest yoga program in Florida with hundreds of students every week; too large to be held indoors, her classes take over a park and a beach. As a yogini, writer and creative writing professor, only Carroll could curate these true tales of life from the mat.
