Author Description

How can so many people in our society be physically light and fit, but emotionally heavy and out-of-shape? We think about the food we digest into our bodies, but do we think about the words we digest into our spirits? Could one word have the power to weigh more than a single scoop of ice cream? Connect to Your One is about acknowledging the 'weight of words' and the impact words have on shaping our identity. In her first book, Rupa Mehta motivates us to start a word detox, lose the weight of words, and connect to the 'One Word' that represents our true spirit. With her signature style, Rupa is a generous guide as she shares the journey to her ONE WORD through vivid life lessons from her childhood and present life. These lessons, garnered from her parents, present unconventional wisdom about living healthy, loving successfully, dealing with issues, understanding happiness, and letting go and moving on. Rupa Mehta is the founder of Nalini Method (nalinimethod.com), a Manhattan-based fitness studio and NaliniKIDS (nalinikids.org), a non-profit dedicated to teaching children the value of physical and emotional fitness. She is passionate about helping people adopt a lifestyle that inspires them to connect to their lives and communities. Called a "pint-sized guru" by VOGUE Magazine and the "Rachel Ray of Fitness" by the New York Post, Rupa is known for her dynamic approach and her successful methods for teaching her students - adults and children - how to strengthen their mind/body connection.
