Yoga-Meditations

Have you ever wondered what it would take to piss off pop icon legend Madonna? Ever wonder just exactly what it would take? Boy do I have a four word headline for you: Madonna denied yoga lessons! If you’d like to know exactly how mad she was, just ask the famous Indian yoga legend Bikram Choudhury, or for that matter, anyone else who was there. He refused to give the queen of pop private bikram yoga lessons. He said that she would have to take his classes, just like everyone else. The music superstar, fuming, stormed out quickly. Apparently yoga health lessons don’t calm all disquiet!

One could argue that Madonna’s emotions were simply running high – after all, she did recently cut ties with Tracy Anderson, her very long time fitness trainer. She said that this was due to the fact that she wanted to experiment with more fun and modern ways of working out. For someone who has been in the limelight for so long, using yoga health poses and techniques could be really beneficial. Yoga can be very calming for the mind, body, and soul, as well as keep on looking youthful.

Okay, so maybe there was something more to it! Perhaps the aging pop star didn’t like having the creator of Bikram yoga turn her down, being as famous as she is. She probably also didn’t like being told that the refusal was in part to her being way too temperamental.

Bikram was quoted as saying that Madonna went to him and requested private lessons. He explained to her that if she wanted to learn from him, then she would have to attend his classes. ‘You have to leave your ego behind’, he said. Not begrudgingly, he also added that anyone who disagrees with Madonna gets blacklisted.
If you think that Choudhury is just showing off that he doesn’t bend his will for celebrities, you’d be wrong. He insists that none of his other famous cliental (including such names as Jim Carrey, George Clooney, and even Jessica Simpson) have a problem with his methods.
