About Bikram Choudhury

Bikram began learning hatha yoga poses at age three in his native India. At age five he met Bishnu Ghosh, one of the greatest physical culturists of our time. By age fourteen, Bikram was considered by many to be "Yogi Raj" or king of the yogi of the twentieth century. He has spent a great deal of time testing the benefits of yoga at some of the world's leading medical research centers.

Bikram is one of the most knowledgeable hatha yoga teachers in the world and has yoga schools worldwide with over 3 million students. His method has been approved by the American Medical Association.
