Bikram Choudhury’s signature “hot yoga,” of Bikram Yoga, performed in sweltering, sweaty rooms, is a yoga practice that promotes healthy, peaceful living. But currently there is anything but peace in the famed yoga guru’s life!
Over the past couple of years there have been numerous sexual assault charges and lawsuits on him. The 73-year-old guru, has yet to pay any of the $6.8 million awarded last year to his former attorney, Minakshi Jafa-Bodden, who as per reports alleged that she was sexually harassed by Choudhury and was fired after examining claims from a student that he had raped her. Choudhury has repeatedly denied the allegations. A judge in Los Angeles has issued an arrest warrant for Bikram Choudhury for failure of payment. Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Edward Moreton issued the warrant and set bail at $8 million.
Choudhury, has not paid and reports say that he has hid his assets and left the U.S. for Mexico.
