Synopsis: Twisted Yoga is a three-part documentary series that examines the rise and unraveling of a global tantric yoga movement that drew followers worldwide with promises of spiritual growth and belonging. Through the experiences of former students and investigative reporting across multiple countries, the series traces how an idealized wellness community became the subject of serious criminal allegations against its founder, Gregorian Bivolaru — allegations he denies and which remain under active court scrutiny. By weaving personal testimony with ongoing inquiry, “Twisted Yoga” offers a measured, human-centered exploration of belief, power, and the hidden dynamics within spiritual organizations.
