This is how sleazy cults keep their secrets. Only the courts can shut them down.

The 90-minute film, which documents yoga master Bikram Choudhury and his abusive methods towards those in his classes, features several old clips from inside the hot yoga sessions that turned him into a US star.

However, Ghosh’s Yoga College, based in Kolkata, India, is claiming video footage and photographs used in the doc is actually theirs, and want its immediate removal.

Bikram, who has been accused of racial, verbal and sexual abuse in the film, learned his yoga craft at Ghosh’s College, and is therefore intricately linked to the company.
