Apple TV is adding a rare true crime docuseries to its lineup with Twisted Yoga, a three-part documentary that follows former students who say their search for wellness and meaning turned into something far darker.
Apple does not release many projects in the true crime lane, so this one stands out, especially because it lands as a tight, bingeable drop with just three episodes.
The series centers on allegations tied to Romanian yoga leader Gregorian Bivolaru and an international network of tantric yoga schools, with former members describing how they began to fear they had joined a cult and later worked with French authorities as the legal case unfolded.
Episodes, release date, and credits
- Title: Twisted Yoga
- Type: TV show, documentary, crime
- Episodes: 3
- Premiere date: Friday, March 13, 2026
- Release plan: All three episodes arrive on March 13, so the “finish date” is the same day.
- Who appears on camera (starring cast): This is not a scripted series, so it does not have a traditional cast. It features former members and ex-students describing their experiences and the allegations they say they witnessed or endured.
- Key creatives: Director Rowan Deacon; executive producer Suzanne Lavery (Lightbox), as listed in press materials tied to the series.
Plot
Twisted Yoga follows young yoga students from different countries who join a tantric yoga community looking for inner peace, purpose, and belonging, then begin to question the group’s control and secrecy as they learn more about its leader and his influence.
As the story moves forward, the docuseries focuses on claims that select women faced manipulation and abuse, and it tracks how former members say they tried to understand what happened, reconnect details they missed at the time, and push for accountability through French authorities.
The series also frames the case around ongoing allegations in France, including charges reported in the show’s official description, and it notes that Bivolaru denies the allegations.
Apple TV price in the US
Apple TV costs $12.99 per month in the US after a 7-day free trial, and you can also get it through Apple One bundles depending on your plan.
