Mallika Chopra is a best-selling author, entrepreneur, public speaker, and wellness expert, mom, and if her last name sounds familiar it's because it is, she's also the daughter of the legendary Deepak Chopra. She is the author of the Just Be Series - Just Breathe, Just Feel, and Just Be You - a trilogy of illustrated how-to books for children (and the adults in their lives). These books provide simple tools to understand and support social and emotional knowing, resilience, meditation, mindfulness, and self-reflection. Mallika's newest book, My Body Is a Rainbow, helps children imagine a rainbow of colors radiating from their body and combines this color connection with breathing exercises to help them relieve stress, tension, fears, and sadness and to feel happier and more at peace. She shares her passion for intention, meditation, and living a life of purpose at conferences, companies, and festivals. Mallika's writing and work have been featured in many publications including Time.com, Self Magazine, Women's Health, Prevention Magazine, OWN, Glamour, Oprah.com and more!
