When was the last time you saw an Indian man doing yoga in an American yoga studio? Chances are - you've rarely seen this. Have you ever wondered why?

In this episode, I chat with Ashish Arora. An Indian yoga teacher, who left behind a 6-figure corporate life at almost 40 to transition into teaching yoga as a full-time career. We chat about his life, understand his story, and learn about the way Indian men or boys are raised when it comes to choosing a career.

We also look at the yoga side in depth - the salary of yoga teachers, why Indian men don't come to American yoga studios & if there's anything we as yoga teachers can do to make our spaces more inclusive to Indian men.
