This documentary focuses on the larger than life and very troubling character of Bikram. His yoga style is known to any semi-serious yoga practitioner, and his success as a teacher was unequalled. But, as it shows here, his ego was of even larger proportions than his talent.

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.

The guy who near the end admits that he knows about 6 women who were abused but cries out of sadness and anger that they made it public which affected the **** Bikram, makes it clear why men like this exist and get away with the things they do. The charlatans are one thing but their enablers.... Jesus. I'll say the doc isn't telling something new but it was interesting enough.
