Remember learning that Bikram Yoga started in 1965? Here's the story they never told you—and it will change how you see every class you've ever taken.

Jim Kallett reveals the truth: For thousands of years, Yoga was exclusively one-on-one therapy. In poverty-stricken India, people couldn't afford doctors, so they visited yogis who could diagnose ailments just by watching patients attempt basic postures. Like human X-rays, these masters could see which spine joints moved freely, which were blocked, and even predict future health problems.

But this system had a fatal flaw: it could never serve the masses. With 8 billion people needing healing, you'd need 8 billion Yoga teachers—impossible.

Everything changed in Mumbai, 1965. A young Bikram was overwhelmed—teaching 24 people daily, one hour each, with months-long waiting lists. In desperation, he did something unprecedented: created a systematic sequence where everything prepares you for what comes next, held for minimum time, done twice, with 50 people healing simultaneously.

His guru Bishnu Ghosh had tried and failed to solve this problem. When he witnessed Bikram's breakthrough, he declared: "You did what I couldn't do. The disciple has surpassed the guru." He then sent Bikram on a global mission to complete Yogananda's work—bringing Eastern healing wisdom to the West.

Your practice carries this lineage, this humanitarian breakthrough that made ancient wisdom accessible to everyone.
