Tonight HBO Real Sports: Andrea Kremer questions Bikram Choudhury On Claims of Sexual Assault
Andrea Kremer goes one-on-one with hot yoga guru, Bikram Choudhury, to discuss the numerous allegations of sexual misconduct made against him.
Bikram Choudhury, 72, is the force behind the hot yoga craze that bears his name. Over the past three decades, Choudhury has become one of the most successful yoga gurus in the world and a very rich man by certifying instructors to teach his unique brand of yoga.A discipline that combines 26 traditional poses with 105-degree heat and 40% humidity for a grueling 90-minute session. But ‘REAL SPORTS’ spoke with dozens of certified trainers who liken Choudhury to a cult leader, who berates students during their expensive, weeks-long training and in recent years, has faced allegations of sexual assault, which have resulted in multiple lawsuits.
REAL SPORTS travels to Choudhury’s native India, where many wonder if he will remain to avoid his civil suits, and finds him teaching his training classes once again. Correspondent Andrea Kremer questions Choudhury on the disturbing claims of sexual assault, and also sits down with three of the alleged victims, one of whom is speaking publicly for the first time.
