Branding Yoga The Tara way

Bikram V/s Tara

Bikram is very good at marketing the business,
but especially on the branding side, he
understood the importance of the Bikram
brand. It wasn't about yoga, it was about
Bikram yoga, and he had to establish what the
difference was. His story was all about
understanding that you needed legal protection
for your branding

Tara Stiles appeals to a much younger

demographic than Bikram. She's not as
regimented in her form of yoga. There's no
Sanskrit in her yoga. Bikram is about Sanskrit.
Bikram is about India. She's quintessentially
American.
