Jafa-Bodden, the former personal attorney of celebrity yoga guru
Bikram Choudhury, was awarded compensatory damages by a Los
Angeles jury for claims of discrimination, retaliation and of
suffering sexual harassment herself, The Los Angeles Times
reported.
During the trial, Choudhury had dismissed the accusations and
said Jafa-Bodden was let go because she did not have a license
to practice law in the United States, the Times and other media
reported.
Choudhury published a book in 1979 with descriptions,
photographs and drawings of his signature 26 postures and two
breathing exercises yoga sequence, which is practiced in a room
heated to 105 degrees Fahrenheit (41 degrees Celsius).
