VDC: Bikram: Predator in the Studio (Repeat from Summer 2022, with changes)
Course | Registration opens 12/9/2024 8:00 AM EST
People who signed up for Chaudry Bikram's popular "Hot Yoga" classes did so because of his reputation as a top-notch teacher. Many knew the classes would involve extreme physical exercises. They did NOT know about the ongoing vulgar and offensive remarks toward many of them, or the groping and sexual assaults....but that's what they got. This video shows what the classes were like from an insider's point of view. A question to ponder: WHY did some just laugh it off and STAY with him, despite what was happening in front of them? Was he a Yoga star or Monster?
