What a Creep
Season 3, Episode 9
Bikram Choudhury
Bikram Choudhury created Bikram yoga in the 1970s and the Calcutta-born yogi has experienced tremendous success for decades as an innovator and guru. He is also a total sleaze who lies about his accomplishments (training Richard Nixon? World Champion in the 1960s?) Oh, and he abuses and harasses women who think of him as a father figure. (What a creep, no?)
Find out his story here and then we'll talk about yoga non-profits that are NOT creepy at all.
