An interview was just published with Tom Sutherland, a yogi and yoga teacher who has studied with both Bikram and Tony Sanchez. There are many yogis out there who have studied with both, including Benjamin Lorr author of Hell-Bent, but this is the first article I've seen that directly addresses the differences between the two teachers who come from the same yoga lineage.
I recommend the article to any interested yogi, especially those in the Bikram/Ghosh lineage. Here are some of my favorite parts: "At Bikram training we're taught to teach one way and that this is the only way." "There's nothing rote about [Tony's] system at all." "[Tony's] biggest thing is about sustainability." “It’s been very difficult… I was a very different, very outcasted teacher… I was actually fired from two studios and had to quit from another.” Read the whole article by Kara-Leah Grant here.
