It’s been a while since Bikram has done an interview so if you haven’t got an opinion about the man this new one, with the Chicago Tribune in advance of his workshop there next weekend, should help. There’s not much he hasn’t said before including the usual reference to “American circus yoga” but aside from saying there is “no crime” in India the shock-inducing rhetoric is minimal. My favorite quote is his response when asked why he’s so strict with his teachers,
In India we say an empty barn is much better than one full of naughty cows. I control my kingdom like a gangster.
I guess I should start calling him ‘Don’ instead of ‘Boss.’
