Let’s Talk Yoga is the podcast for yoga teachers, teacher trainers, and total yoga nerds who are ready to go way beyond the surface of this practice.


Every week, host Arundhati Baitmangalkar — studio owner, teacher trainer, and one of Yoga Journal’s top 8 yoga teachers to watch in 2026 — digs into the real stuff: teaching methodology and sequencing, yoga philosophy and the Yoga Sutras, pranayama, restorative yoga, teacher training, and the yoga business conversations nobody else is willing to have.


Arundhati has trained thousands of teachers around the world through her online school, and her teaching is rooted in the Indian tradition — specific, authentic, and built to actually last. That same depth and honesty shows up in every episode.


Whether you just taught your first class or you’ve been on the mat for decades, there’s something here for you.
