ORIGINAL: I happened to be in court when the copyright case of Bikram Choudhury and Bikram Yoga was heard. Bikram Choudhury was the plaintiff suing another yoga studio for using his series of yoga poses. The Judge ruled yoga poses can't be copyrighted. Judge further ruled that you can't copyright a "series of poses." You can only copyright what you specifically wrote such as a book, song, screenplay.
Earlier today someone had posted about Bikram Choudhury being sued for assault and rape. I then realized this was the same Bikram Choudhury (born February 10, 1946) who used to have a yoga studio on Robertson then one at 1832 LaCienega. Both of those are now closed. I remember in the Los Angeles Times they had building and safety, zoning issues. If you look at the reviews for that yoga studio, they all say the place was dirty, smell, facilities did not work. Nonetheless he seemed to do well financially in that studio. He now has studios elsewhere.
His wife Raja Shree born May 7, 1965 is also his partner. They were married in 1984. They own their home and residence at 3172 Toppington, Beverly Hills, California 90210. This is Beverly Hills post office which is actually Los Angeles. They are just south of Mulholland.

Here's a recent article about him. He is really full of himself. Here is a quote from the article linked below.
"By outward appearance, Choudhury is a ludicrous character, a flashy showboat who wears crocodile shoes and gangster fedoras; owns dozens of Rolls-Royces, Bentleys, and the like (including Howard Hughes’s Royal Daimler, with a toilet in back); lives in an 8,000-square-foot Beverly Hills mansion seemingly built entirely from gold, stone, and mirrors; and has released a maudlin album, Bikram Love, on which he sings synthy ballads with titles like “I Feel Lonely” and “People Are Beautiful.” He claims to sleep only two hours a night, and he is given to swaggering pronouncements—e.g., “I have balls like atom bombs, two of them, 100 mega-tons each. Nobody fucks with me.” Fashioning himself as a kind of suicide-prevention sexual Samaritan, he once said of his female trainees, according to a Details-magazine interview, “If they say to me, ‘Boss, you must fuck me or I will kill myself,’ then I do it. Think if I don’t! The karma!” Choudhury regularly makes outlandish, non-F.D.A./F.T.C.-approved claims for his yoga, asserting that it cures cancer, rid Janet Reno of her Parkinson’s, and saved John McEnroe’s career, among other miracle tales. (Choudhury reserves his least palatable thoughts, on women, gay people, various ethnic groups, and leadership—“He said, ‘Hitler was a genius,’ ” Jane says—for the relative privacy of his teacher trainings, according to multiple sources.)"

I think I remember seeing him around town in the 1990s. I definitely remember seeing his studios getting off the 10 freeway to go home. This will be an interesting case to follow.
In 2000 in Beverly Hills he was charged criminally for apprentices California Code of Regulations 205. He was also charged under Beverly Hills City Code 10-3.1604(6) which I think is a building and safety permit violation, probably for the Robertson property. BH0BH00357-01Charges dismissed.
In 2010 in Los Angeles he was charged criminally for LAA6CA00226-01 57.33, 91.109, 12.21 Los Angeles municipal code violations. There are more charges. Dismissed. Looks like he got his lawyers on these cases to get them dismissed.
The number of civil cases he has against his is staggering. This is just in Los Angeles.
