Hi, my name is Arundhati and you're listening to the Let's Talk Yoga podcast.

I'm an ex-Bollywood dancer turned yoga and wellness educator.

I've built a six-figure business as an immigrant, woman of color yoga teacher with no business background, no handstands, pure instinct and the free information found on Google.

If you love doing yoga and you dream of teaching it someday, this podcast is for you.

We go over everything from doing and teaching yoga to scaling a small business, living a modern yoga lifestyle and so much more.

You'll find interesting, fun, raw conversations along with some tips, tricks, strategies and insights in this podcast.

So grab your cup of tea and let's jump in.

figure out things and I felt like I had to prove myself a little more and fit in.

But this was about eight or nine years ago.

And the one thing I constantly go back to is the fact that I missed having a mentor and a community.

So on the show today, I'm answering three questions that came up in last month's session of the Mindful Yoga Teachers Club.

If you're new here, this is my monthly mentorship and support community for yoga teachers.

And there were obviously more questions in the actual session, but I've picked three that I know is common for yoga teachers.
