A woman in white sitting calmly with her hand on her chest, eyes closed.

These books are here as companions —


an invitation into a deeper way of being.


Rooted in mindfulness, yoga, and lived experience, they explore what it means to stay present through change, to listen more closely, and to meet life as it unfolds.


You can read them in moments of stillness, return to them in times of uncertainty, or simply keep them nearby as a quiet support along the way.

Reflections from teachers and practitioners

“A Life Worth Living is a book worth reading. I will gratefully carry the words of this Warrior–Princess–Seeker with me as I continue my own spiritual journey, feeling a little less lonely, a little less afraid, and a lot more inspired.”


Judith Hanson Lasater, PhD, PT Yoga teacher and author

“A Life Worth Living is one woman’s story of struggle, redemption, and deep learning. Mellara shows us how healing is possible through presence, devotion, and practical listening.”


— Elena Brower Author and teacher

“Mellara’s love shines through her words of wisdom and practical Dharma teachings. She reminds us that this life is precious, and that healing and inspiration can be found even in the most challenging moments.”


— Núbia Teixeira Teacher and devotional artist

“Mellara’s book explores how we can use our practice, breath, and awareness to create more love and peace in our lives. I see so much of my own journey reflected here, and suspect many others will as well.”


— Mariel Hemingway Actress and author

Praise for A Life Worth Living

A Life Worth Living: Mellara Gold’s new book on “mindfulness, yoga, and living in awareness” is my favorite because she employed a style that I used in my book, as well. By using vignettes of memoir, prescriptive information, and a bit of research, her book takes what could have been dry and didactic information and makes it a literal page-turner. Her childhood could very well have been a movie, and she takes you through her learning process in marriage, motherhood, and studying under Channa Dassanayaka, who also supplies the invocation at the book’s opening. This book is totally worth checking out. Just click on the photo to read more.
