In 2017, it was reported that Bikram Choudhury was forced to turn over his entire vintage car collection and all of his franchises to his former legal adviser, who alleged in a lawsuit that the Indian American Hot Yoga founder sexually harassed her. But the whereabouts of the valuable cars was unknown.

The New York Post now reports that 22 of those high-end cars hidden in a Miami, Florida, warehouse in 2016, have been seized by authorities and will be auctioned off to pay some of Choudhurys alleged sexual assault victims.

Authorities confirmed to the Post that they quietly seized the cars in December 2019, and the lot includes 12 Rolls Royces, five Bentleys, a 1966 Jaguar M10, a 1971 Pontiac Lemans, a Ford GT40, a 1969 Murano and a 1973 Ford Mustang Mach 1. The rest of the collection, which includes three Ferraris and six Mercedes-Benzes, is allegedly still at large, it reported.

The estimated sales value is said to range between $800,000 to $1.5 million, and the cars will be auctioned off March 20 and March 21 at Palm Beach International Raceway, the report said. According to court documents obtained by India-West in 2017, Choudhurys driver, Kaylan Sando Panday, ordered some of the vehicles to be loaded onto a car carrier and transported out of the garage they were housed in.

In January 2016, Minakshi Jafa-Bodden, who worked as head of legal and international affairs at Choudhurys Los Angeles yoga school from spring 2011 until March 2013, won a $7 million lawsuit against Choudhury. Jafa-Bodden alleged in her lawsuit that she was wrongly terminated by Choudhury when she refused to participate in a cover-up for a rape allegation by one of his students.

Moreover, Jafa-Bodden alleged that she, too, was sexually harassed by Choudhury, who according to her lawsuit touched her inappropriately and forced her to stay in a hotel suite with him.

Choudhury further alleged in her lawsuit that after she was wrongfully terminated by her employer, she faced deportation when Choudhury withdrew her work visa, and struggled financially as a single mother.

In 2017, the California State Court of Appeal dismissed a plea by Choudhury, remanding him to pay $7.3 million to her.

The proceeds, as per the Post, will be split among Jafa-Bodden, various creditors of Choudhurys estates, and the owner of the warehouse where Choudhury stored the cars.

Arriving in Beverly Hills, Calif., from Kolkata in the early 70s, Choudhury quickly cultivated a celebrity following and built a global fitness empire that furnished him with extreme wealth. But by the 2010s, as numerous sexual abuse allegations emerged and stories of his aggressive, cult-like training environment surfaced, the lawsuits started to mount.

A warrant for his arrest was issued in May 2017 and there were conflicting reports on his whereabouts. ABC7 Eyewitness News reported Feb. 13 that Choudhury is trapped in Mexico.

The report added that Choudhurys passport has been seized and that he failed to pay a $180,000 bill at the Princess Mundo Imperial Hotel.

Choudhurys attorney told Eyewitness News that his passport was seized about a month ago, and they are in the process of gathering the funds necessary to pay off the hotel bill.

ABC7 Eyewitness News also reported that the 76-year-old is also accused of using his trademark name to market his teacher training sessions at the Acapulco resort in violation of court orders.

Here are the 3 newest businesses to open in Worcester - Hoodline

1) The people behind newsy Dallas entertainment blog Central Track are throwing the sites second annual Central Track Music Honors, which are like the DOMAs, but with an expressed intention toward more rock, less talk. The event is free and is headlined by Sam Lao, whos worth showing up to see all by herself. But the bill is also stacked with some of DFWs best acts: Ottoman Turks, Kyoto Lo-Fi, Motorcade, Duell, Jayson Lyric, Claire Morales, Sub-Sahara, Ebo, Ariel and the Culture, Starfruit, and Electric Tongues. I dont know if this will fill the Granada or not, but you can guarantee admittance with a pre-sale ticket that also includes a complimentary surprise, which I suspect is a drink of some sort. The Central Track Music Honors is for ages 14 and up and begins at 7pm. Geez Sam Lao is the baddest:

2) Friday night, the Haltom Theater (5601 Belknap) has an all-ages, four-band bill for a mere $10, starting at 9pm with transcendental garage pop band Breathing Rainbow, followed by the Red Admirals classic indie-inspired rock, then long-running psychedelic rockers The Cush, and droll garage rockers The Prof. Fuzz 63 in the headlining slot at midnight. Awww, heres Breathing Rainbows first show:

3) Saturday night at Shipping and Receiving (202 S Calhoun), Art Tooth co-founder Shasta Haubrich is throwing a party in celebration of her 40th turn around the sun, and its themed around s80s sitcoms. Called Thank You For Being a Friend: Shastas Birthday Woo, attendees are encouraged to dress in their best s80s attire, though if youre able to, I suggest digging a little deeper and trying to look like a regular or guest star on any of the vast ocean of sitcom material spawned in that decade. Theres no cover, and the music will provided by DJs Soy Capaz and Wizardvizion, aka me. 21+, starts at 9:30ish.

4) Check out this weeks Weekly for more on The Hamiltons, the husband-and-wife-fronted country/rock/soul band playing the Ridglea Theater (6025 Camp Bowie) this Saturday; theyre releasing their debut CD, The Hamiltons Vol. 1 at the show with support from songwriter Dustin Massey. Show is all-ages, doors are at 7, and music starts at 8. Tickets are $20-25.

5) Sunday night at the Gas Monkey Bar N Grill (10261 Technology Blvd, Dallas), get bathed in the meditative heaviness of OM, the main band of Sleep bassist/vocalist Al Cisneros. You can file this under Shows Where You Are Likely To See An Electric Wizard Patch, but these days, my elevator pitch when Im trying to sell someone on this band is to ask them to imagine a yoga instructor who is vey obviously a stoner (super nice, sleeve tattoo, smells like nag champa, is vaping a weed vape), who gets to do a music class one day a week, and wants it to be super chill but still heavy. I am almost afraid to even suggest this, for fear that anyone might misread my intent, but the short of all that: OM is heavy music for yoga classes, or, even more reductively: OM is yoga metal.

Now granted, perhaps thats a little bit of wish-fulfillment, because I would be stoked as hell to go to an OM-themed yoga class, a music-and-flow for people who talk about Bongzilla in bars and attend Psycho Las Vegas every year. Perhaps this is something yoga studios in Oakland or Denver do, but anyway, doors to this show are at 7pm, and Denver-based, goth-influenced, alt-country act Wovenhand opens at 8pm. Its 16+, and tickets at the door are probably between $25-$30, because they are $18 (plus tax, title, and license fees) online until day of show, when they go up. Heres the video for OMs State of Non-Return:

Top 5 Shows: The One with Awards, Rainbows, and Yoga - Fort Worth Weekly

Vaping wasnt something I could stomp out on the ground and move on from. Photograph: Erik S Lesser/EPA

I like to think of myself as a healthy, calm lady-boss who aims to inspire others. My morning routine consists of transcendental meditation, light therapy and boxing before 8am. When Im not in front of my computer or traveling for a public speaking gig, Im usually in a hot yoga class. And so it may surprise my clients, family, and friends that I am one of the 50 million people around the globe addicted to e-cigarette juice.

If youve ever heard the phrase Juuling, you probably picture a teenager who rips a Juul thats hidden in the sleeve of their hoodie, holding in the hit so as not to get caught vaping in math class, not a middle-class woman in her early 30s who gets HydraFacials and sips turmeric tea.

The juice, better known as e-liquid, in a vape or e-cigarette usually contains nicotine and other ingredients like propylene glycol, and vegetable glycerin, which is heated to create an inhalable aerosol. Juul is the most popular vaping product. Using influencer marketing and with celebrity endorsements like Dave Chappelle hitting his Juul during his 2017 Netflix special, Sophie Turner proclaiming having her Juul taken away was the secret to acting, and an Instagrammable photo of Katy Perry sporting her Juul at the Golden Globes, the company went from selling an unknown product to owning the category and from $200m in sales in 2017 to $1.3bn the following year. According to a Jama study, more than one in four students (28% of high schoolers) vape nicotine. Dr Karen Wilson of the American Academy of Pediatrics said that she sees kids that are using four pods the nicotine equivalent of four packs of cigarettes a day. Adults who vape often use it as a smoking cessation tool. And some adults have entered vape culture, mixing and selling custom flavors and labeling themselves as do-it-yourselfers, cloud chasers, sub-ohmers, coil builders or modders. When it comes to culture I appreciate, Im more of a literature or health food aficionado. Ive never discussed my mod or coil on Reddit, nor do I know how to blow a vape cloud in the shape of a jellyfish.

Like many, I was surprised when the number of people with a severe lung illness linked to vaping had reached over 2,600 cases and nearly 60 deaths

Yet, like the teenager we envision being naively pressured into the habit, three years ago I adopted the common belief that e-cigarettes are less harmful than other forms of tobacco. Like many, I was surprised when the number of people with a severe lung illness linked to vaping had reached over 2,600 cases and nearly 60 deaths. Recently, weve learned that the key culprit behind those illnesses is probably black market THC vapes using specific additives including a form of vitamin E. Even so, the FDA and Trump administration are pushing for a national ban on most e-cigarette flavors and San Francisco became the first major US city to ban sales altogether. Students in Texas can face felony charges and expulsions from school for having a vape in their backpacks. Its an effort to keep the product out of the hands of teens, but the move will affect adults, too free-thinking adults who vape for a variety of reasons such as to quit smoking or for the subculture people like myself.

I was first introduced to vaping as a tool to quit smoking three years ago when I visited my family in Michigan. In my parents living room playing with my niece and nephew, my brother puffed clouds of white smoke from a device that looked like a walkie-talkie with a short antenna. My stepdad shook his head with every drag. My brother held the cloud in his mouth and said: Its just vape.

Technically, I had given up my half-pack a day habit and quit smoking years before, but the urge was still there. One beer and Id hide out in the garage with my mom bumming her Marlboro Lights in Michigan or find myself standing in the smokers circle outside my favorite East Village bar. Smoking was a form of social currency around other people. Alone, it offered an escape, a ceremony that felt secret and sacred.

Vaping had the same benefits but felt better than smoking because I could conceal my device in a pencil case like the colorful pens I carry around. It didnt leave a lingering odor that others could detect. No one gives you side-eye or a judgmental cough if they cant see or smell it. Home in Brooklyn, I noticed vaping was everywhere. Soon, a friendly guy behind a cloud of strawberry vanilla at the local smoke shop set me up with my own device.

The danger of vaping is that its hidden in plain sight. Smoking is banned in nearly all public spaces, but we havent figured out how to stop people from vaping. You can do it nearly anywhere without being noticed, and the amount of nicotine being consumed is also hidden, clicked into a sleek, Stanford University-born device. Juuls dont create a large cloud and can easily be hidden in your hand. Airports, the movies, classrooms, places where we would never think to light up a cigarette are spaces where you can take a hit without causing a scene.

Initially, it seemed innocuous, and yet, from the beginning, it negatively affected my lifestyle. Instead of the co-working spaces and coffee shops I patronized, I soon opted to work from home so I could enjoy mid-meeting puffs of mango delight. Once, I excused myself to the bathroom during a quarterly in-person meeting with my most loyal client. In the stall, I took a small toke and held it securely in my mouth until I was certain it disappeared. My relaxing moment turned to burning fear as the fire alarm sounded throughout the building. I thought about flushing my device; instead, I ran outside to meet my colleagues with a red face. I spent the night Googling whether I had caused the alarm to sound. Although it was a routine drill, after that incident, bargaining with myself to work from home became part of my morning routine.

We need to share tangible ways for people to quit and that information should be as easy to find as the steps to fix a leaking pod

In April, when I started boxing, my hunch that vaping was hurting my body was solidified. As soon as I got good enough to throw a strong jab, the congestion in my lungs hit like a body shot and moved its way up my torso until my ears were plugged. It was time for me to quit.

Its no surprise that experts say withdrawal from vaping can be more challenging than quitting conventional cigarettes. The first time I tried to break my own two-pod-a-day addiction, I promised myself I wouldnt buy another pack. I changed my walking route so I wouldnt pass my local smoke shop every night. But by mid-morning of day one, I searched pockets of pants in my dirty laundry and old purses for pods with enough juice to get me through the day. I ended up watching a YouTube video where a shirtless high schooler with a seashell necklace told me that putting a leaking pod into the freezer for three minutes would reactivate it. Ninety-nine-point-nine of the time it works. For you kids who are addicted to this thing like I am But I was not a kid, I was a 31-year-old grownup. The shame I felt when I popped my last non-working pod into the freezer felt like rock bottom.

Vaping wasnt something I could stomp out on the ground and move on from. Strong willpower, my embarrassment, and at the time, the CDCs recommendation that people give up vaping of all kinds until the cause of the lung damage was determined none of it mattered. The benefit of being an adult with this addiction is that I had the resources for cessation products, and if necessary I could work with an addiction specialist. It took hundreds of dollars worth of the highest-dose patches and a mix of nicotine mints and gum for me to stop searching for loose pods around my apartment. With 5 million teens caught in this trap, I dont think bans on e-cigarette flavors will stop resourceful young people like the shirtless high schooler from finding ways to fend off the agitation, inability to focus, and headaches that come with trying to quit. Instead of imposing unreasonable laws, we need to figure out and share tangible ways for different people who are addicted to quit and that information should be as easy to find as the steps to fix a leaking pod.

After Id been off the juice for a month, I was walking to my office one morning when I saw an empty cartridge on the sidewalk. I asked myself, if this were full, would I pick it up and use it? The answer was yes. Another hit, another drag, another puff, just one more. It doesnt have a flame, but it never burns out.

Good Vibes Yoga Hosts A Day of Healing to Benefit Family of Park Ave. House Fire in Nutley - TAPinto.net

Cassianne Cavallaro | Asst. Illustration Editor

In the spirit of Valentines Day, O Yoga Studio hosted a special holiday couples yoga event on Feb. 7 and will continue to host events throughout the week.

Cynthia Powers-Broccoli, a registered yoga teacher, said that the goal of the couples yoga class was to highlight appreciation for the divine feminine, ones expression of femininity and its nurturing energy.

Despite yoga being her full-time profession now, it was initially her way to destress from the mental exhaustion of working in major metropolises.

After graduating from Boston College in the 1990s, Powers-Broccoli relocated to New York City, where she was hired in a bank. During this period in her life, she observed that other women had difficulty balancing the stresses of work life and the home life.

They were pulled in a million different directions, you know, they wanted to be at home with their kids, but they also had great careers and they wanted to be hardworking there, Powers-Broccoli said. And what was left for their partners was exhaustion, instead of the female warm, nurturing, loving essence.

But 15 years ago. when her son was only a year old, Powers-Broccoli said she decided that she wanted to become a yoga instructor and has never felt freer in (her) life.

The couples yoga classes help attendees appreciate the harmony between the divine masculine and feminine.

SU graduate student Allie Berger said that couples yoga is more of a tantric approach to yoga, meaning that it functions on the principle of universal masculinity and femininity. Together, Berger said, they create the world essentially.

However, Powers-Broccoli stressed that the couples yoga is open to any two people that simply want to destress. She added that anyone, regardless of sexual orientation, is invited to the classes.

I love teaching any yoga class that brings (couples) to a place of stillness and allows their essence to shine, Powers-Broccoli said.

And it was evident that Powers-Broccolis instruction brought the couples closer together.

One of the students, Kt DeOrdio, said that she gets to see her husband with a new perspective in the classes.

I get to see Brian in a different way. Im just focused on him, theres no distraction, she said.

Her husband Bryan DeOrdio said that with three kids under the age of five, they use these couples classes as time to focus on each other.

Another couple felt that the class helped bring them closer together.

I liked how (Powers-Broccoli) was able to help us connect better, because hes usually shy and Im shy too, Celina Wagner said about her experience with her boyfriend Anthony Benhart. But I feel like we end up having a deeper connection.

The class even encouraged the novice yoga practitioners among all the students to incorporate yoga practices into their daily routines. Benhart said that he has gained insight from the classes.

Honestly, I think I might start doing a little more meditating just before going to sleep to help me calm down Benhart said.

O Yoga Studio has another partner yoga workshop on Friday, Feb. 14 at 6 p.m., which is available for not just partners but also individuals who are open to making new friends at the class.

In addition to teaching classes at various yoga studios in Syracuse, Powers-Broccoli holds classes in the Barnes Center at The Arch on Mondays at 1 p.m.

Youre moving, youre becoming aware of your breath in movement, Powers-Broccoli said. It really brings you into yourself in a way that calms the nervous system and allows you to feel free.

Couples yoga creates a deeper connection within partners - The Daily Orange

World's first yoga university outside India would start its post graduation course later this year in the US along with research in the ancient Indian practice and the admissions for it will begin in April, university officials said on Saturday.

The Vivekananda Yoga University (VAYU) has established its initial campus in Los Angeles with a budget of USD 5 million.

Sree Sreenath, a Professor from Case Western University, has been named its president and Indian yoga guru H R Nagendra as its chairman, the university said in a statement.

The programmes would roll out from August 2020, for which the admissions will be starting from April 2020 for the Master's programme in yoga under the leadership of Sree Sreenath as the founding President, the university said in a statement.

The announcement by the university came within three months of receiving official recognition from the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education, California to offer yoga-based higher education programmes in November 2019.

As Swami Vivekananda said education is the manifestation of perfection already in man, VAYU aims at providing man-making and nation-building education by promoting an all-round personality development in students of generation next, Nagendra said in a statement to PTI.

VAYU is said to be the brain child of Nagendra, a former scientist from NASA, who has been working on converting yoga into a socially relevant science for the last four decades.

Having started the first Yoga University in India (S-VYASA) in 2002, Nagendra said he aspires to create a global university for yoga-based higher education combining the best of the East with the best of the West.

The university will help thousands of yoga teachers in the US whose yoga education was limited to 200 or 500 hours of certificate programmes to progress further into university-based higher education, said Prem Bhandari, a member of the VAYU board of directors.

It is further to the efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi who was instrumental in getting the UN declaration of International Day of Yoga on June 21st, his yoga guru H R Nagendra's team's hard work which made the establishment of a yoga university in US a reality, he said.

World's first yoga university outside India to start classes later this year - Deccan Herald

I needed this yoga video. I mean, I really needed it. Before I gave this follow-along flow from Adriene Mishler a try, I had finished my workday with a stress headache, a sore throat, and a body full of aches. Naturally, I wanted to do some yoga to relieve tension and take time for myself (I'm also a huge fan of Yoga With Adriene on YouTube). After 40 minutes of "Yoga Kiss," I felt stretched out, cooled down, and, thanks to a series of core-focused moves at the end, energized in a good way.

Moral of the story? You deserve this. You deserve to tend to your body and your mind after a long day or even a short one and you deserve to make space for yourself. This flow is advertised as something that will "remind you of your worth" and will target "all parts of the body," as the YouTube description states, and the variety of poses and gentle affirmations from Adriene hold true to that promise.

You'll start in an upright posture, focusing on the breath and elongating the neck; then you'll move into Cat Cow and a period of holding Baby Cobra that might feel as wonderful for your upper-body as it did for mine. You'll pick up the pace with sequences that incorporate Forward Fold, planks, and high lunges (and, yes, holding those lunges brought heat to my legs big time).

One of the hardest poses for me in the flow was one where you had to balance in a squat position on the balls of your feet with your heels up, arms back, and palms facing down (in "airplane arms," as Adriene put it). The core work toward the end of the video also made me shake a bit (you should expect modified Boat Pose, among other movements).

Throughout, Adriene reminded us to lift our hearts to the sky to "kiss" the sky, if you will and to "move like you love yourself." While in Corpse Pose lying down, she talked about nurturing our bodies. "I love the idea that our yoga practice can kind of pick you up, give you a kiss, and really meet you wherever you are on any given day," she said. Show up on your mat and see what happens! We'll be right there with you.

The collection consists of a dozen Rolls-Royces (including a 1937 Rolls-Royce Phantom III), five Bentleys, a 1971 Pontiac Lemans, a 1973 Ford Mustang Mach 1, a Ford GT40, and several other cars. A number of vehicles belonging to Choudhury are reportedly still hidden from the public eye, including at least three Ferraris and six Mercedes-Benzs. A lawsuit filed against Choudhury's wife and children by Jafa-Bodden's lawyer suggests that the other vehicles could be somewhere in Nevada or Florida.

Choudhury's vehicles will be sent to auction at Palm Beach International Raceway on March 20 and March 21, though the money generated from the sales will likely never reach his victims. With more than $16 million in legal judgments, Choudhury filed for bankruptcy protection in November 2017.

The projected revenue generated from the car sales will nowhere be enough to satisfy the creditors, said bankruptcy trustee Robbin Itkin. She later added, Anything we can do to try to give something back to the people who are owed money is better than the situation where we are now.

The hypothetical value of the seized cars, which is estimated to range somewhere between $800,000 and $1.5 million, will likely go straight into the hands of Choudhury's creditors to settle outstanding debt. According to the Post, Choudhury owes the Miami warehouse owner $600,000 in unpaid storage bills, lawyers' fees, and other costs.

In total, nine women have accused Choudhury of rape, sexual assault, or sexual harassment since 2013. Coined "Yoga's bad boy, he has since re-entered the hot seat after the release of a new documentary on Netflix titled Bikram: Yogi, Guru, Predator. The film follows the history of the controversial Bikram Yoga saga and outlines the serious allegations that seem a better fit for fiction than reality.
