Indian yoga guru snubs Madonna

London: For once, the 'Queen of Pop' is not getting what she wants and she is not happy about it. Madonna was left nursing her pride recently after Indian yoga guru Bikram Choudhary refused to give her private lessons.

The popstar's plan to hire Bikram Yoga inventor Choudhary went awry when the Indian multi-millionaire told her that she would have to take a common class like everyone else, reported Contactmusic.

The pop superstar recently parted ways with her long-term fitness trainer Tracy Anderson, revealing she wants to "try a new method of working out."

"Madonna came to me and asked for private lessons. I would have none of that. If you want to learn from me, then you have to come to my classes. You have to leave your ego behind. If you disagree with her (Madonna), you're immediately blacklisted," said Choudhary.

The yoga guru said that none of his other celebrity clients, including George Clooney, Jessica Simpson, and Jim Carrey, have objected to his methods.

"They do 90 minutes of yoga whenever they're near a Bikram school, even when they are overseas," he said.
