Apple TV announced the new three-part docuseries “Twisted Yoga,” from two-time Academy Award-winning producer Simon Chinn, Emmy Award winner Jonathan Chinn, Suzanne Lavery and Bernadette Higgins.
“Twisted Yoga” follows a group of young yoga students from around the world drawn to the ancient practice in search of inner peace and purpose, only to fall under the influence of reclusive Romanian ‘guru’ Gregorian Bivolaru, the spiritual leader of an international network of yoga studios specializing in tantric rituals. As they begin to fear they’ve joined a cult, they discover that Bivolaru, who often summoned select female students to his Paris apartment for private initiations, has a dark past. Bivolaru now faces charges in France, including human trafficking, kidnapping, and rape, allegations he denies, as these women work with French authorities to convict him.
The series is directed by Rowan Deacon and will on Apple TV on March 13, 2026.
