| 60 Minutes Wednesday is doing a story on Bikram Choudhury and Bikram
yoga this week. It's airing Wed., June 8 at 8:00 (on CBS). Looks
interesting.

| Doing hatha yoga in 105 degree heat might be a great way of giving an
elderly person quick heart attack, but there is no physical or esoteric
reason to do it. A gimmick to make money is hardly worth arguing over.
I think both sides of that case are fooling themselves. Money is
their motive, not meditation or real yoga.

OK, I have to admit I don't watch tv. There I said it :-)
Anyway did anyone see it and if you did would you like to share your
impression?

I saw the show and had mixed feelings. The guy seems greedy. He sued a
yoga instructor because she was teaching Bikram yoga without paying the
$5,000 fee to learn from Bikram himself. The judge ruled that his yoga
routine with 26 different yoga positions in exact order could be
copyrighted just like a song.
He seemed like a quack to me, however most of the people shown
performing this type of yoga had extremely nice bodies, not your
typical Americans.
