Bikram Choudhury and Madonna share a Yoga news headline today.

After requesting private instruction and being refused, Bikram suggests Madonna take group classes just like his other celeb students, not name dropping or anything he mentions George Clooney, Jessica Simpson and Jim Carey.

Perhaps Madonna is aware of certain ancient Yoga teachings which suggest Yoga should be taught one to one.
