Overview

  • The investigative series from director Rowan Deacon will debut globally on March 13 with all three episodes available at launch.
  • Women featured in the series allege they were indoctrinated into sexual exploitation under Romanian guru Gregorian Bivolaru and are cooperating with French authorities.
  • Bivolaru was arrested in Paris in 2023 and is charged in France with human trafficking, kidnapping and rape, which he denies.
  • The Atman Yoga Federation says it is not responsible for the private lives of affiliates and maintains the allegations are unproven and under investigation.
  • The documentary examines claims of webcam-based exploitation, with the director saying she cannot confirm whether those activities continue.
