Yes, Bikram certainly put yoga on the map. And I totally get how you need to separate the yoga from him. He didn’t invent the poses.

Ego took him over for sure. That seems to happen a lot when people have “power” and decide to manipulate and abuse others.

There are a few studios in Vancouver that still do Bikram style but have changed their studio names. But also a couple that have kept the name.

Too bad he never issued an official apology, went to court or even expressed remorse.

Glad you were safe during the YYT with him.
