Question: How does anyone patent yoga?
What if i read a book on yoga and practice some basic stuff? Do I owe anyone royalty?

No, but neither can you patent it in your name and claim royalty for yourself.
Pinging you.
I've read about organizations that go around to various temples and copy their libraries - often ancient texts handwritten on leaf paper - to preserve them. Excellent service.
:-) Delighted:-))!

Bikrams Yoga is a fake. The man is a fake. Imagine trying to patent yoga. what a shame.
Just example #2,981 on how broken and subject to abuse our patent and intellectual property systems are. Good for them on finding an effective (hopefully) way of protecting themselves.

This is the joker who has patented yoga poses and the sequence in which they are performed..
He isn't the only fraud, either. But even if all of them weren't, India needs this protection. (Long overdue.)
"Didn't some American company try and patent Basmati rice recently? And the Basmati they grow in Texas and California is worthless, its the rich soil from the Punjab that makes Basmati so tasty.."
Texmati, from RiceTech.
Gengis, why don't you change your name? Honor Bose, or Tagore, or someone equally worthy. Khan had no influence on India..
...cool database.
Khan is my alter ego ;-)
