Bikram Choudhury

Bikram Choudhury (born February 10, 1944) is an Indian-born-American yoga teacher, and the founder of Bikram Yoga, a form of hot yoga performed in a series of 26 hatha yoga postures done in a hot environment of 40 C. Choudhury is the subject of several civil suits alleging sexual assault and various forms of discrimination against racial and sexual minorities. In 2017, the Los Angeles County Court awarded $7 million to his former lawyer, Minakshi Jafa-Boden, and, subsequently, when Choudhury fled to India without paying up, gave control of his yoga business to Jafa-Boden.
