About Rajashree Choudhury

The co-founder of the Bikram Yoga Teacher Training, Rajashree Choudhury is an internationally respected yoga therapist, educator, and visionary leader whose life work bridges traditional yogic mastery with modern therapeutic and athletic expression.

Born in Kolkata, India, she began her yoga journey at the age of four under the guidance of esteemed teachers and later trained within the lineage of Bishnu Charan Ghosh. She emerged as a celebrated competitive yogini, winning the National Indian Yoga Championship five consecutive times and becoming the first recipient of the Bishnu Charan Ghosh Cup.

Rajashree’s deep dedication to healing and transformation led her to earn certification in Yoga Therapy (C-IAYT) and complete professional training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy. She has devoted her life to teaching yoga as a holistic path that nurtures the mind, body, and soul.

After relocating to Los Angeles, she co-founded the Bikram Yoga Teacher Training Program and went on to establish the United States Yoga Federation (USA Yoga) and the International Yoga Sports Federation (IYSF), pioneering the global development of yoga as an inclusive and recognized competitive sport.

Rajashree’s teachings are rooted in compassion, therapeutic insight, and a belief in yoga’s capacity to empower individuals and communities. She continues to share her work internationally, inspiring practitioners to explore yoga as a path of healing, personal growth, and conscious living.

Rajashree has come to Bali to offer a retreat in partnership with Ubud Yoga Center and will be offering one special Master Class at the Festival on Saturday afternoon.
