Power of Yoga
At 17, Bikram injured his knee during a weight-lifting accident. Doctors said that he would never walk again. Not accepting their prognosis, Bikram had himself carried back to Bishnu Ghosh’s school. He knew that if anyone could help heal his knee, it was his beloved teacher. Six months later, Bikram’s knee had totally recovered. Ghosh was the first to scientifically document yoga’s ability to cure chronic physical ailments and heal the body.

Bikram was asked by Ghosh to start several yoga scools in India to pass on the tradition. The schools were so successful that, at Ghosh’s request, Bikram travelled to Japan to open two yoga schools. In that country, Bikram worked with doctors at the Tokyo University Hospital to prove the medical benefits of its yoga system, including tissue regeneration and healing of chronic ailments . These findings were presented in 1972 at the International Medical Conference in Kyoto.
Bikram arrived in the United States in 1973. Since that time, Bikram has healed thousands of students at his school in Beverly Hills and travelled the world extensively, bringing the benefits of Bikram Yoga to millions of yoga students in Bikram studios worldwide.
