Meet the Source: Bikram Choudhury
Bikram Choudhury is the founder of Bikram Yoga, a system of 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises practiced in a heated room. Born in Calcutta, India, in 1946, Bikram began his yoga journey at the age of 4 under the guidance of Bishnu Charan Ghosh, one of the most respected physical culturists in India and the younger brother of Paramahansa Yogananda.
By the age of 13, Bikram had already won the National India Yoga Championship for three consecutive years. His deep understanding of the human body, combined with his passion for yoga, led him to develop a method that could heal injuries, restore function, and promote total well-being.

A Fork in the Road: The Yoga Alliance Challenge
Despite years of experience and teaching alongside Bikram, Mr. Ian faced a surprising reality: Bikram Yoga Teacher Training was not recognised by Yoga Alliance. That meant many graduates couldn’t teach internationally or receive the certification that studios and students around the world require.
Rather than seeing this as a setback, Mr. Ian saw it as an opportunity.
He returned to student mode—completing a Yoga Alliance RYT 200, and later advancing to E-RYT 500, the highest standard of teacher accreditation in the Yoga Alliance system. This wasn’t just about a title. It was about making sure that others wouldn’t face the same roadblock.
Why YogaFX Was Born
Out of this experience, YogaFX International Bikram Hot Yoga Teacher Training was born—with a bold mission:
To make high-quality, internationally accredited Bikram-style yoga teacher training more affordable, more accessible, and more aligned with the modern yoga world.
Mr. Ian saw how many passionate yogis wanted to become certified teachers, but couldn’t afford the $10,000+ cost or take 9 weeks off to join traditional programs.
So he built a new way:
-
A Yoga Alliance certified curriculum.
-
The authentic Hot 26&2 sequence.
-
A hybrid training model—with online theory + 7-day in-person intensive.
-
Taught with heart, clarity, and global recognition.
