He he he …. yes thats true.. there is an Indian in US named Bikaram Chowdhary how is making waves through his revolutionary method of yoga popularly known as “Bikram Hot Yoga ” -a yoga class performed in a room that is 105 degrees Fahrenheit and 40 percent humidity – Bikram and his brand of yoga have drawn controversy.

While others have tried, he has been the only person to successfully trademark and franchise a brand of yoga, to many yoga experts’ chagrin. With more than 500 studios teaching his yoga worldwide and 6,000 trained instructors, Bikram is now the rock start of Yoga.

some Q & A with Bikram which i got from the net

Q: How is your yoga different from other people’s yoga?

A:
It’s day and night. Other people’s yoga is based on an old-fashioned,
5,000-year-old system. When you do my yoga, you use your body in the
right way, scientifically, organ by organ, piece by piece.

Every
great yogi in India, including my guru, used to teach one-to-one. But
I’m the first man to teach a group of people – half men and half women
– some kids, some old, some with diabetes, some with cardiovascular
problems. So I created a yoga antibody. In 26 postures, you take care
of everything in your body. A problem you have, you fix it. A problem
you don’t have, you activate the organ and keep it in perfect
condition, like a brand new car.

Q: I hear your working with NASA – what are you helping them with?

I
am working with NASA on research for bone density. I can cure
osteoporosis [with my yoga]. President Bush has a project for NASA to
go to Mars. [NASA research shows that Bikram’s yoga will maintain bone
density in astronauts in space].

Q: How did you come up with the idea of doing your sequence of yoga in a hot room?

A:
I was teaching in Tokyo in the ’70s in a penthouse in a yoga school,
and five people could come into the room only . And it’s so cold
outside – minus 10, minus 15 like Chicago – so then one of the
Americans brought a heater from home. And then three students brought
them. In the heat, bodies become supple, flexible, and [heat] prevents
injuries. When you’re hot, you sweat, and all the toxins come out.

Q: Why did you patent your yoga?

A:
Can you drive in Illinois without a driver’s license? Can you practice
law without passing the bar? Can you teach Bikram yoga if you are not
trained and qualified by Bikram? Same thing. So there are a lot of
people using my name, reading my books, reading my tips, taking my
classes and teaching it. So I did it to protect myself. This is not
walking and jogging – this is treating people with cancer, AIDS, spinal
injuries, or not having a baby. I had a student who could not have a
baby. She came to my classes for four months, and then she had a baby.

so those who love to got for a Hot yoga … Bikram’s Yoga is not a bad choice..:-)
