My Yoga Teacher: live 1-on-1 yoga from Indian experts at US-cheap prices

Shaan invested in My Yoga Teacher, a marketplace pairing US students with expert yogis in India over Zoom for live one-on-one instruction. A US studio class costs ~$30; here you pay ~$30 for a whole month, with one-on-one sessions around $19.

“So for, for in the States, if you go to a yoga studio here, you're going to pay $30 for that class. This, you'll pay $30 like for the month, you know what I mean? Uh, like, you know, you can get one-on-one training for $19 on the this app versus like a group class of 40 people where you don't get any attention.”

Steal thisUse labor arbitrage only where the overseas talent is genuinely expert (e.g. Indian yogis) so you get cost savings without a quality drop.

Fact

Negative net churn is the strongest seed-stage signal you can get

Shaan recounts asking My Yoga Teacher about churn and hearing they had -3% quarterly (negative net) churn for three straight quarters, meaning expansion revenue outpaced losses. For him that was enough validation to invest at the seed stage.

“And he's like, well, our quarterly churn is -3%. I was like, what do you mean neg— I was like, you have negative net churn? He's like, yeah, we have negative net churn. Like more people increase their membership value than we lose in dollars every quarter. And he is like, that's been the case for the last 3 quarters.”

Steal thisTreat sustained negative net churn as a top-tier buy signal; at seed stage you rarely get stronger validation.
