The series follows former members as they describe how a search for community and spiritual growth allegedly morphed into manipulation, coercion, and abuse, with claims that include sex trafficking. It also follows the growing push for accountability, set against an international investigation and ongoing legal proceedings involving Bivolaru, who has faced charges including human trafficking, kidnapping, and rape, all of which he denies.
"Twisted Yoga" premieres on Friday, March 13, 2026, and as an Apple Original, it’s only available to stream on Apple TV with a 7-day free trial.
Below, we break down all the ways to watch "Twisted Yoga" online and how to keep up if you’re traveling.
Watch 'Twisted Yoga' from anywhere
If you’re traveling and find that your usual streaming apps are blocked or showing the wrong library, a VPN (virtual private network) can make your device appear as if it’s back in your home country. That means you can continue to use your existing subscriptions while you’re abroad.
We’ve tested a wide range of services, and NordVPN is our top pick for speed, reliability, and broad device support. It also comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it out without a long-term commitment.
