For decades, Bikram Choudhury built a hot yoga empire fueled by devotion, strict control, and absolute loyalty. Behind the scenes, that authority shielded him from accountability.
In this episode of The Slippery Debrief, we sit down with Larissa Anderson, who courageously opens up about her time under Bikram’s influence—sharing how years of psychological manipulation, isolation, and brainwashing culminated in her sexual assault.
Joining the conversation is attorney Mary Shea, who represented multiple victims of Bikram.
