Me and Miz B were just talking about this. Not only is the guy a horrible creep, but also being yelled at to do it harder, deeper, faster while sweating in a stinky 105-degree room with 40 other sweaty people is evil unto itself.

Huh, I did not know it was that intense. A lot of yoga teachers are like that, it is basically a wholly unregulated industry, like personal fitness. The hot room yoga is a cool idea, and seems to be the cool and hip, holier than thou yoga. We just got a hot studio, but I dunno if it is Bikram or not.

That's insane. Spend 10k + to be a certified teacher and end up raped. Sounds like a great use of money.

Yeah, Bikram Yoga is pure evil, even without the cult aspects.  My sister once dragged me along to a free session and...yeah, I didn't intend to do it again.  I certainly don't now.

The local bikram joint advises bringing 3 towels, two liters of water and a change of pance to your first session.  3xploding out of both ends is common for 1st timers they say.

Sounds like an initiation ritual to me.
