the intelligence of his series is indisputable. a series based on healing the body. interesting that his answer re heat has everything to do with what students have been taught to want. in early days, heat was max 90 or so. it was nice and warm, but we weren't dripping, had no water in the room except a dixie cup at break. i wish it were true that one can only be trained if one's practiced for a long time and has been recommended by teacher. he taught me so much. changed my life. wonderful what he said about teachers are allowed not to be thin and gorgeous. wonderful.

Amira, how has your opinion changed of Bikram in the past couple years?

[PlanetRockJesus]

Bikram is an evil man. I happen to have met him in 1971 when I was 17 on Oahu in the Koko Head neighborhood. I went to a gathering at some well-to-do person's house, and we all sat outside by the pool. I was sitting five feet in front of him, and he did the most amazing exercises. He could suck up his guts into his rib cage so tightly that you could see his spine from the front. He could make his stomach muscles roll either left or right. It made a real impression on me, though I wasn't into dedicating myself to yoga at that time. It was just tonight, while watching the "Bikram" film on Netflix, that I realized it was the man I'd met back then, 49 years ago (I'm 66). I was a young hippie musician who was a bit connected while living in Hawaii. I was from the Midwest, but my older brother had settled in Waikiki after his two-year stint in Nam, and I'd gone out to hang with him. I've told the story of meeting a real Indian yogi in Hawaii countless times over the decades, and I am totally freaked out at this movie that has just been released on Netflix.

to Amira Luna. He's absolutely right about what teachers ought to look like. Listen to the humble generous kind respect he has for teachers who've lived their lives. Yoga brings health and that takes various forms. Yoga is not to look good, not for fitness on the outside, it's all inside.

[forfun]

Wow, he is the chief of liars and manipulators . Stay far away from this guy and his kinds

[altafdewan]

I am so enlightened sir . But my question is what happened to your own marriage ? why are u divorced ?

[daviddoyle]

Dont be put off by Bikrams "brag a little" persona, , , this guy has helped 1000's of people heal themselves and enjoy good at all  the hard work this guy has done, , , can you deny this guy is sincere? He not perfect I'll give you that, , , but consider his contribution, , , ,

[TheSoman]

He is a straight no bullshit speaker. he cares not for how u feel. he just wants to speak his truth without any care for whether it hurts the listener or not. he is truly a wise person. take it or leave it.

[Girimami]

Human being does require respect regardless of someone spiritual or not.
But he openly disrespecting by saying “you guys are bunch of idiots” at 25:28 is disgraceful. This interview wasted my time. Not going to watch full.

[whynottalklikeapirat]

"You must satisfy your teacher. If he does not like your hair you are out"
Says the guy charged with sexual assault
(who does not talk like average people but also NOT about his age).

[electrical]

I'm an indian and I am ashamed to admit that this is a man from my country

[Normallifeswe]

All materials are out there, you don’t need a guru to tell you what to do or how to do. You need discipline and patience, training and never give up!

[redmoonx]

He didnt come up with 26 poses, those existed allready he copied them from regular ancient yoga... he is a weak man driven by forces he doesnt understand, lost, corrupt, eaten away by ego.

[glutamin]

i can tell he is actually a really good salesman because he sounds persuasive but to think of him as a yogi or a guru is just ridiculous hahaha

[flipofthekick]

@nano j how do you sit there and judge?

[jeezuschrist]

4:33 He didn’t come up with “Bikram Yoga” he was taught the 26 and 2! This man just spews bullshit!
