AUDIENCE FAVOURITE — Bikram: Fitness Guru or Con Artist?
Manage episode 436239747 series 3521609
In the early 2000s, Bikram Yoga spread across North America like wildfire. It was a multi-billion dollar business, spurred on by its eccentric founder, Bikram Choudhury. Choudhury was as close to yoga royalty as you could get and was unafraid to hide it. But according to some of his own students, his empire was built upon blood, sweat and tears – as well as a few critical lies.
Reporter Julia Lowrie Henderson practiced Bikram Yoga for nearly a decade and joins Crime Story to discuss the scandal that rocked her yoga community.
Note: This episode contains difficult subject matter, including references to sexual assault.
Crime Story is taking a quick summer break. We're back in September with all new episodes.
