Remember thinking Bikram Yoga was just about the physical postures and heat? Rajashree Choudhury's story reveals the profound spiritual dimension that many practitioners never discover.

Jim Kallett shares her extraordinary background: "5-time All-Indian National Yoga Champion who studied at Ghosh's College—the same institution where Bikram studied 20 years earlier." But her credentials go deeper than competition wins. "Her guru was Dr. P.S. Das, a contemporary of Bikram as a disciple of Bishnu Ghosh, expert in Yoga therapy—the one-on-one practice where he would diagnose, create healing charts, and prescribe specific postures."

When she married Bikram at 19 and came to Los Angeles, she brought irreplaceable wisdom to the system. "She teaches so much from her heart, so much about meditation. She teaches the spiritual and devotional aspects of Yoga." This wasn't just physical practice—it was a complete spiritual path.

Her innovation transformed the practice for millions: developing Bikram Yoga modifications for pregnancy. "She went through her own pregnancy doing the Yoga, developed the modifications and adjustments, the whole approach to doing Yoga through pregnancy." She made this ancient healing accessible to expecting mothers worldwide.

"The program with her was fantastic because she really talked about the spiritual aspect that many miss—the devotional aspect of Yoga." While others focused on the physical benefits, Rajashree revealed the heart-centered path that transforms not just bodies, but souls.
