Review of Bikram: Yogi, Guru, Predator (2019) by Evans — 11 Dec 2019
I was turned off immediately by Netflix wallpaper and ads that show practitioners bowing down to Bikram Choudhury. Those who dig the practice for its health benefits pay not a second of attention to Bikram, yet Netflix would have you buy into it being a cult.
Spoiler Alert: it’s not a cult. In the last 11 years, Bikram has been largely dismissed and I find it highly offensive that Netflix insinuates its (mostly) women practitioners has fallen into Choudhury’s influence.
It’s a highly sexist conceit and click-bait. I attend all women-owned studios where Choudhury has been long stripped from the signage, yet the power of 26 and 2 continues to take flight.
