Off the Mat

Stop stirring. Be still. Clarity will come on its own.Maeve Campbell has been teaching yoga for fifteen years. She knows the parables by heart-the muddy water, the second arrow, the monk who carried the woman across the river and set her down. She offers these teachings to her students like gifts, watching them land differently in each body, each life.But the lessons aren't for her students.They're for her.Through a year of raising children, running a business, navigating betrayal, grief, injury, and an impossible move, Maeve discovers that the practice was never about the poses. It was about this-the messy, mundane, heartbreaking, beautiful life that happens when you roll up your mat and walk out the door.Off the Mat is a novel about motherhood, marriage, and the wisdom we teach others while forgetting to teach ourselves. Author Bio (for back cover): Niki Robinson Ague is the owner of Hot Yoga by the Sea in Kailua, Hawaii. Much of what she wrote mirrors her own life.
