Aham Yoga
Hosted by Aham Yoga
A teaching-focused yoga channel for students and teachers seeking clarity beyond physical postures, hosted by a teacher with roots in India.
This is a hybrid YouTube channel that functions as a free yoga school. It combines the 'Let's Talk Yoga' podcast—featuring solo deep-dives and expert interviews for teachers—with practical, guided yoga and pranayama classes for all levels. The core focus is on education and providing a deeper, more authentic understanding of yoga than is often found in modern fitness culture.
“The host's perspective as an Indian immigrant teaching in the US provides a unique bridge between traditional and modern yoga. The channel stands out by blending teacher-focused interviews, technical solo episodes on topics like pranayama, and accessible guided practices.”
