"Mom You're Not Normal"

By Yasmen S Mehta

When Yasmen S. Mehta's daughter tells her, "Mom, you're not normal," she takes it as a compliment. It's taken her many years to achieve sublime nuttiness, and she's relished every wacky experience that brought her closer to her goal. In her memoir, Mehta shares her hilarious and fascinating life story and the many lessons she's learned along the way.

Mehta was born into a life of leisure in Bombay, India. When her parents shipped their pampered princess to a strict girls' boarding school in the Himalayan foothills, she found herself living a very militaristic life. Dance and sports became her refuge, and once she put the mountains in her rear view mirror, she never looked back.

Her dance career took her across four continents, eventually landing her in a city that's known for embracing originality: San Francisco. After twenty years of pirouettes and pli s, her decision to embrace her inner jock through speed skating further cemented popular opinion: Yasmen Mehta is not normal.

Mehta currently teaches CrossFit, Pilates, and Yoga Tune Up(R). In telling her life story, she explores the power, beauty and grace of the human body while encouraging others to experience that for themselves.
