“Until you find your why, everything else is external.” – Arundhati Baitmangalkar
What happens when you build a studio without a business plan—but with a rock-solid purpose? In this episode of Yoga Biz Champ, I sit down with Arundhati Baitmangalkar, the founder of Aham Yoga and host of the Let's Talk Yoga podcast, to talk about the deep-rooted why behind everything she does.
We go beyond the surface of yoga studio ownership and get into what really sustains a teacher or studio owner long-term. From teaching her first community class to leading international trainings, Arundhati’s clarity around her mission—to teach and be of impact—is what’s kept her grounded, energized, and successful for over a decade.
In this honest, heart-forward conversation, we talk about:
• How your “why” becomes your compass when everything else feels unclear
• Why she started small—and why that was her biggest advantage
• Moving from yoga teacher to team leader with integrity
• Redefining boundaries, burnout, and what success actually looks like
• Creating content and showing up online in a way that feels aligned
• How to build systems, not chaos, even if you’re a one-person show
• Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, over it, or just overthinking your next move—this episode is your nudge to come back to your why.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
