Bikram Sex Scandal: Yoga Student Accuses Bikram Choudhury Of Unwanted Sexual Advances

A Bikram sex scandal has shocked the yoga community. Bikram Choudhury became famous in the Yoga community for founding Bikram Yoga, a form of hot yoga performed in a series of 26 postures performed in a 105 degree environment.

Now the Indian yoga instructor is garnering some heat of his own after being accused of sexual harassment and discrimination by one of his former students. The 67-year-old instructor is said to have made unwanted advances towards a woman over a four-year period.

The former student and teacher, Sarah Baughn gives odd accounts of interactions between her and Choudhury.

Choudhury is accused of making women brush his hair, give him massages, and even have sex with him, according to reports out this week.

Baughn, 29, also stated that Choudhury told her: "My wife is such a b****, you have no idea. She is terrible to me. She is so mean. You have to save me."

Former yoga teacher at Bikram Yoga, Baughn filed the suit at the Los Angeles Superior Court earlier this month. In the filing she claims Choudhury pursued her for years and ruined her career as a Bikram yoga teacher when she refused to have sex with him.

The former student stated in court documents that Choudhury "pinned her against the door, and sexually assaulted her by kissing her neck, chest, and face, and grinding his penis against her leg."

According to reports, the sexual advances began in 2005 at a teacher training seminar. Choudhury apparently told Baughn: "I know you from a past life. We have a connection. It is amazing. Should we make this a relationship?"

The advancements didn't stop there; Choudhury even bought her a Rolex, however Baughn claims that she refused his advances. And because of her refusal, Choudhury began to discriminate against her and even sabotaged her. She claims he rigged a yoga competition in 2008 so Baughn did not win. She alleges the winner was sharing Choudhury's hotel room at the time.

This is not the first time the famed yoga guru has been accused of inappropriate behavior. In 2010, a lawsuit was filed against the millionaire after he made some tasteless comments about women while on an instructors retreat, reportedly stating: "Women are b****es and whores. They're here for one thing, and that's to make babies."
