0:00.0	Hi everyone. Welcome to another episode of the Let's Talk Yoga podcast. I hope you are doing well. If I'm being
0:07.3	100% honest with you, this is the sixth time I have restarted this recording because even though I have
0:14.8	done this for a very long time, when I say done this, I don't mean podcasting. Yes, that too. But I have been teaching yoga, running my studio and
0:23.0	being in literally, I'm doing air quotes here, the business of yoga, I still find it a little

1:26.6	So I have spent, you know this, the past
1:29.6	decade teaching beginners yoga. That's how I built Aham Yoga. Aham Yoga started with honestly a handful of
1:35.5	students and some of them are still with us since day one to the 10th year and we built our studio

1:54.1	to somebody who went on to continuing asana, some of them became advanced asana practitioners,
