Summary
Today Jason and I are talking with Archna Mohan and Deepak Mohan, the hosts of the wonderful yoga podcast, Yoga, Chai, and a Dog, We touch on some of the things we have in common: podcasting, yoga, and what it's like to work with your spouse.
We also ask a lot of questions about some areas where we differ. They share how yoga isn't something they "learned" growing up in India--it was just a part of their culture and a way of life. Deepak explains why he considers himself a non-yogi. And Archna talks about her background in the health and fitness industry and opens up about what it's like being a South Asian yoga teacher in the U.K.

| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, I'm Andrea Ferretti and this is episode 231 of Yoga Land. |
| 0:08.4 | Today Jason and I interview friends of ours Archana and Deepak Mohan. |
| 0:14.7 | So it's kind of a special episode. It's like a it's like a double date that you get to go along |
| 0:19.0 | on with us. Archana was a 200 a 300 hour sorry teacher trainee of Jason's in London and I got to |
| 0:27.0 | meet her a few years ago when he was when she was doing her training there with him and she let me |
| 0:32.9 | know that she had just started a podcast with her husband called Yoga Chai and a dog and I encourage |
| 0:39.8 | you to go check out their podcast. It's really sweet and she let me know that the podcast was her |
| 0:47.2 | talking to her husband who considers himself to be a non-yogi and that they just kind of have a |
| 0:53.4 | conversation like they would over a cup of tea and it's called Yoga Chai and a dog because they |
| 0:57.3 | have a lovely dog while you'll hear they have two dogs now. So I was really interested and |
| 1:02.0 | curious to hear their podcast and I went home and listened to it and I let her know that I wanted to |
| 1:06.7 | talk to them and of course Jason did too because Archana has been one of his students. So Archana |
| 1:12.6 | is obviously she's a yoga teacher in her own right and she also has an extensive background in |
| 1:18.0 | the fitness industry and has been a fitness coach. These days you can find her online. I will |
| 1:24.8 | link to her website on the show notes page but it's archana mohan.co.uk and she offers a variety |
| 1:32.9 | of different services including nutrition coaching, relationship coaching, food planning, |
| 1:39.3 | healthy living as well as yoga. So I know you will enjoy this interview as we did. I can't wait to |
| 1:46.3 | see them again in person when we can all travel. All right well hello Archana and Deepak it's |
| 1:52.4 | so nice to talk to you again today. Thank you. Thanks for being here. We have so many similarities |
| 1:59.8 | as couples I think from the last time we spoke we sorted out a lot of similarities and I'd love |
| 2:05.9 | to talk about some of them. One of them has to do I think with the founding of your your podcast |
| 2:11.6 | yoga chai and a dog which is that you compliment each other really well. So I would just love to |
