Bishnu Ghosh 

Bikram Choudhury began yoga with Bishnu Ghosh, the younger brother of Paramahansa Yogananda (author of "Autobiography of a Yogi") and founder of the "Self Realization Fellowship" in Los Angeles. Ghosh was a celebrated physical culturist and the first to scientifically document Yoga's ability to heal the body. Bikram devised the 26 posture and 2 breathing exercise sequence that has a profound healing power on the body and mind. This sequence has directed millions of people around the world toward a healthy life.
