Bikram is not the only one to copyright his yoga, name and enforce it. Iyengar has done it(he actually sued in the 80’s for improper use of his name), Jivamukti has done (the served cease and desist order to teacher who where teaching near the studio). Even Baron Bapiste has had his legal issue regarding copyright.

It seem hardly far that because Bikram and Yoga journal don’t get along that he get a bad rap. He really is not the only one or the first to do it.

Since; I am He as you are He as you are me then we all own it TOGETHER! In fact, we all invented yog. India’s attempt is likely a knee jerk reaction to so many attempts by Westerners to patent and/or register things like Neem tress and tulsi; which is just as ridiculous.
