A Yoga guru, dubbed "Yoga's Bad Boy" by the industry, has been charged with operating a studio without a permit and several fire code violations. Officials held a press conference to announce this.
A press conference for code violations? Seems a bit of an overreach even by LA standards.
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Los Angeles prosecutors charged "hot yoga" guru Bikram Choudhury with operating a yoga studio without a permit and other violations that could land the controversial instructor in jail.
Choudhury, his landlord American Sunroof Corp. and company president Christian Prechter were each charged on Thursday with 10 criminal counts including operating without a certificate, overcrowding the yoga studio and not maintaining emergency exits. Each faces a maximum sentence of six months in jail for each count, and/or a $1,000 fine.
The yoga master's attorney, Victor Sherman, called the charges little more than a publicity stunt.
Patterico doesn't have anything on this. Aren't there more important things to worry about in LA?
