Apple TV has announced its new three-part docuseries, ‘Twisted Yoga’ will premiere globally on March 13 as the streamer yesterday unveiled the trailer for the show.

The show is from two-time Academy Award-winning producer Simon Chinn (‘Man on Wire’, ‘Searching for Sugar Man’), Emmy Award winner Jonathan Chinn (‘Tina’), Suzanne Lavery (‘Curse of the Chippendales’) and Bernadette Higgins (‘The Tinder Swindler’). The series is directed by Rowan Deacon of ‘Jimmy Savile: A British Horror Story-fame.

‘Twisted Yoga’, according to an Apple TV press release, 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 show is produced for Apple TV by Lightbox, in association with Ladywell Films. Simon and Jonathan Chinn, Lavery, and Higgins serve as executive producers, with Deacon directing.

Apple TV offers premium, compelling drama and comedy series, feature films, ground-breaking documentaries, and kids and family entertainment, and is available to watch across all of a user’s favourite screens.
