WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.599
We're sitting in this room, just us women, and talking about the little dance performance we're going to have for the men.

00:00:13.539 --> 00:00:16.179
We were supposed to act as if they were kings.

00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:25.480
It's November 2024. In the forest by a lake, a tantra retreat is taking place.

00:00:29.940 --> 00:00:30.859
One of the women in the team showed us how to move.

00:00:32.500 --> 00:00:33.340
A lap dance, you could say.

00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:36.259
A week full of surprises.

00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:42.899
Then the teachers tell us that we will first come in wearing red dresses and dance.

00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:49.520
Then we'll take them off and try on some sexy underwear.

00:00:52.619 --> 00:00:54.960
The teachers belong to an international yoga movement that here in the Nordic countries calls itself Natha.

00:00:56.899 --> 00:00:59.600
The movement's supporters feel misunderstood.

00:01:00.380 --> 00:01:00.939
Vulnerable.

00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:09.319
There is a story that they are persecuted by evil forces because of their teachings on spirituality and eroticism.

00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:16.340
And now some of their top leaders have been arrested by police.

00:01:17.379 --> 00:01:21.519
But the yoga school is trying to continue its operations as usual.

00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:27.319
Like here at the tantra retreat in the forest.

00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:31.459
Nobody knows it - but I'm there -

00:01:31.459 --> 00:01:32.879
characteristic of a reporter.

00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:38.239
Our reporter has for more than six months-

00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:40.420
acted as a student in the yoga movement-

00:01:40.420 --> 00:01:42.959
to find out as much as possible-

00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:43.560
from within.

00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:45.700
How it really works within Natha.

00:01:47.379 --> 00:01:51.019
But this story actually begins much earlier.

00:01:52.060 --> 00:01:56.640
2005 in Stockholm in the white stone building of the Supreme Court.

00:01:59.459 --> 00:02:08.960
It was thus a case where Romania had requested the extradition of a Romanian who was resident in Sweden.

00:02:10.340 --> 00:02:15.360
Johan Munk and his fellow judges take their seats in the courtroom.

00:02:16.259 --> 00:02:19.860
He looked a bit original, with rather wild hair and beard.

00:02:20.259 --> 00:02:22.840
They've got an odd case on their desk.

00:02:23.419 --> 00:02:27.240
This much is clear that he was a yoga teacher and yoga leader.

00:02:27.860 --> 00:02:30.960
He had many important assignments within the yoga movement.

00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:33.580
He led courses with thousands of people.

00:02:34.460 --> 00:02:42.360
The bearded yoga guru is named Gregorian Bivolaro, nicknamed Grig, and has a strange history.

00:02:43.620 --> 00:02:47.659
He is on the run from the authorities in his home country of Romania.

00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:50.580
And he had witnesses with him who testified that

00:02:50.580 --> 00:02:54.259
According to witnesses, he was the victim of a miscarriage of justice.

00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:59.539
The Supreme Court concludes that the guru needs Sweden's protection.

00:02:59.539 --> 00:03:03.159
A person may not be extradited if there is a risk of persecution.

00:03:04.539 --> 00:03:08.280
A certain amount of public opinion had been stirred up against him in Romania.

00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:14.020
Romania says he sexually abused a 17-year-old yoga student

00:03:14.020 --> 00:03:18.000
and in other ways used the power he has over his followers.

00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:21.039
They said he had committed human trafficking.

00:03:24.219 --> 00:03:26.819
You are listening to the Yoga sect.

00:03:27.020 --> 00:03:28.780
You are subordinate.

00:03:29.020 --> 00:03:30.020
The great wisdom.

00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:32.379
A review series from Caliber.

00:03:32.580 --> 00:03:34.560
Don't give a damn about how you feel.

00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:36.979
Wake the fire, wake the fire, wake the fire, wake the fire.

00:03:36.979 --> 00:03:38.539
Like some kind of Jesus figure.

00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:41.500
My concerns are based on life and death.

00:03:44.219 --> 00:04:05.060
Reporters are Marcus Alfresson, Ida Nordén and Carmen Dixon. In life and death. It is 2018.

00:04:09.460 --> 00:04:10.300
Gregorian Bivolaro has had asylum in Sweden for over ten years.

00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:15.219
And his yoga movement, which in the Nordic countries is called iFeNatha,

00:04:20.939 --> 00:04:22.319
attracts more and more people who are looking for alternative ways of looking at reality.

00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:24.819
It is a place near the sea.

00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:29.819
There are animals, there are beautiful treasures and pine trees.

00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:34.500
His teachings are spread in several schools in Sweden.

00:04:37.300 --> 00:04:39.579
Among other things here, on a farm by the sea.

00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:44.720
There are a few small cabins, there is a larger house, there are single beds.

00:04:45.819 --> 00:04:48.000
In the yoga room, a fire crackles in the open

00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:50.040
the stove. Not so much

00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:51.800
decoration, it's like

00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:53.959
focus on keeping it simple

00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:55.500
and that it should be minimalistic

00:04:55.500 --> 00:04:57.699
and a place for

00:04:57.699 --> 00:05:00.079
inner exploration or calm

00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:01.560
or something like that.

00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:11.519
Emma is here for the first time. There will be a silence retreat.

00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:14.639
A weekend in total silence

00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:18.300
It was very nice, it was the first time I was at something like this.

00:05:18.300 --> 00:05:23.540
It was such a lovely mix between being alone in silence

00:05:23.540 --> 00:05:24.779
In beautiful nature

00:05:24.779 --> 00:05:28.100
A little yoga, quite a lot of meditation.

00:05:29.379 --> 00:05:33.040
So I thought the meditation retreat itself was good.

00:05:34.779 --> 00:05:37.939
She's had a rough year when she ends up here.

00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:46.480
She has resigned from her job as an engineer and is looking for something else in life. A huge change in my life-

00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.740
from having studied at a technical university-

00:05:49.740 --> 00:05:50.939
was that it was very much like this-

00:05:50.939 --> 00:05:52.680
how does the world work, how do things work-

00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:54.699
quite mathematical, rational.

00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:57.439
And then it was just like it didn't work.

00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:02.660
Performance anxiety that had run amok.

00:06:02.660 --> 00:06:06.899
And then I started looking for other things.

00:06:09.379 --> 00:06:18.139
At the yoga school Natha, Emma learns about yoga and tantra and finds a different kind of community than she is used to.

00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:27.600
So this is very seductive in a way because I also came from a place where life didn't really work.

00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:35.180
The teacher is older and has many years of experience with yoga and tantra.

00:06:36.459 --> 00:06:38.279
We will call him Ragnar.

00:06:39.420 --> 00:06:42.399
He has been trained by one of Natha's top leaders.

00:06:43.660 --> 00:06:47.779
I had had a feeling during some of the meditations that the person holding it had been watching.

00:06:48.459 --> 00:06:50.459
It felt like there was a contact request.

00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:53.600
Which I was like this, oh!

00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:56.300
Do I meditate a little? Why do I think like that?

00:06:56.459 --> 00:07:00.920
That the teacher would kind of keep an extra eye on me like this.

00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:09.339
I wanted to take control of my life.

00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:20.540
The musician Kristoffer has started the day as usual with a coffee and a cigarette. And I wanted to do something, seriously, understand how things work.

00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:25.600
He too feels that he has finally found a place where he feels at home.

00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:28.300
I was so ecstatic.

00:07:28.300 --> 00:07:30.160
when I got there. Was sowed

00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:31.360
of my own happiness as well.

00:07:34.579 --> 00:07:35.139
Love.

00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:37.680
The estimate for the other.

00:07:37.819 --> 00:07:38.620
For himself.

00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:42.040
In combination with the simple fact that

00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:43.839
that you do it and can do it with

00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:45.379
Other.

00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:50.660
That's what I'm always looking for.

00:07:58.060 --> 00:07:58.740
Kristoffer understands that what Natha teaches is something completely different from the yoga offices he has followed on social media.

00:08:05.660 --> 00:08:14.660
If you learn a lot on Facebook and Youtube, this is like suddenly being at one of the highest universities. Getting to listen and learn from people who have spent 20-25 years on these concepts and who have gone deep into the original scriptures.

00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:24.819
In the yoga room there is a picture of the movement's founder, Gregorian Bivolaro.

00:08:25.540 --> 00:08:29.839
Huh? Is he? Yes, but that's what a guru looks like, like this.

00:08:30.139 --> 00:08:32.419
But it's, well... I don't know.

00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:37.220
The yoga guru is protected by his Swedish residence permit.

00:08:37.740 --> 00:08:40.759
But other countries want to put him on trial.

00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:46.320
Teacher Ragnar is deeply involved in his case

00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:48.139
and he has written a study

00:08:48.740 --> 00:08:49.960
of what he calls

00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:51.720
persecution and slander

00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:53.620
by the school's spiritual leader.

00:08:54.860 --> 00:08:56.019
The Guru has taken

00:08:56.019 --> 00:08:57.100
a Swedish name,

00:08:57.820 --> 00:08:59.159
Magnus Auroldsson

00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:02.279
and is written at an address in Karlskrona.

00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:04.519
But despite that

00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:07.559
None of the students here have met him.

00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:11.100
They learn that he is hiding.

00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:14.600
They were talking about Grieg.

00:09:15.980 --> 00:09:20.419
There was also a picture of him in the meditation hall.

00:09:20.419 --> 00:09:23.860
as the guru of this organization.

00:09:23.899 --> 00:09:29.720
And spoke of him as if he were some kind of enlightened man

00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:35.559
that he relied on special spiritual abilities

00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:39.480
that he was not a person who could show up

00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:42.399
because there was some kind of wanted man for him

00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:46.500
and that they couldn't talk about his whereabouts.

00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:49.799
Which was very special.

00:09:52.740 --> 00:09:57.120
But they learn that there is a way to connect with the guru.

00:09:58.419 --> 00:10:02.220
There was a woman there too who was from the organization.

00:10:02.340 --> 00:10:06.179
And who had a little workshop in something

00:10:06.179 --> 00:10:08.000
and so at some point so

00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:10.200
we who were there

00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:12.500
then invited to take a picture

00:10:12.500 --> 00:10:13.960
gladly in

00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:16.720
underwear or bikini

00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:18.340
and send to this one

00:10:18.340 --> 00:10:18.840
Grigor

00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:22.279
because he was apparently

00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:24.419
absolutely amazing at reading

00:10:24.419 --> 00:10:26.080
of one's aura type.

00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:30.940
Or even a spiritual path or something like that.

00:10:33.299 --> 00:10:37.440
And then I felt like, what are you kidding me?

00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:42.659
Why should you be required to wear less clothes for him to do that?

00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:46.940
No, no, I'm absolutely not interested in this.

00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:54.919
Where I was then, I felt a bit like it seems to be like this with all these traditions.

00:10:54.919 --> 00:11:07.139
That there's a crazy guru somewhere who kind of teaches good things but is also crazy in the head.

00:11:11.179 --> 00:11:11.639
Emma feels that there are many good things about the school.

00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:14.500
It was a whole new world that had opened up to me.

00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:20.460
A kind of inner searching world.

00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:25.559
The school claims to teach authentic yoga and tantra.

00:11:28.340 --> 00:11:34.100
Ancient traditions with roots in India. This is big and it is beautiful and it is love and it is awareness.

00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:38.360
And that is the meeting and there are beautiful and divine ideas to have.

00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:47.480
Yoga with physical exercises and breathing techniques.

00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:56.779
Tantra with rituals, meditation and energy exercises with the aim of fully embracing life.

00:11:56.779 --> 00:12:07.580
Where every experience, every feeling and every relationship is seen as an opportunity for spiritual development.

00:12:10.299 --> 00:12:11.360
I buy everything outright.

00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:14.840
And just, this is kind of the truth.

00:12:17.820 --> 00:12:20.659
These guys and old men and old women have it figured out.

00:12:22.220 --> 00:12:22.779
All of that really happened.

00:12:30.419 --> 00:12:31.240
A fucking yardstick for what I should be, how one should be, and what was true.

00:12:38.179 --> 00:12:39.519
The school has a system where students gradually gain access to more and more of the curriculum.

00:12:47.019 --> 00:12:47.679
The techniques that are at a higher level are kept secret until you reach that level in your training.

00:12:52.779 --> 00:12:53.600
There are very clear hierarchies and some kind of spiritual development ladder.

00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:00.879
I've reached this point and that's why I can talk to you about this.

00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:05.460
The teachings of Gregorian Bivolaro are written down.

00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:09.539
But the students are not allowed to see the entire scripture.

00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:15.840
I thought that was a bit strange. What is so strange about this that I can't get my hands on a whole book?

00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:25.500
They get a few copied pages at each lesson. There is a lot of talk about feminine and masculine.

00:13:25.500 --> 00:13:27.659
and that there are energies that perhaps

00:13:27.659 --> 00:13:30.860
all people have within themselves.

00:13:31.220 --> 00:13:32.159
But there was also

00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:38.259
there were also parts that were

00:13:38.259 --> 00:13:41.679
like women should inspire men

00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:44.419
and you do that by being sensual and soft.

00:13:46.460 --> 00:13:51.519
In much of this material there was text and then there were also images.

00:13:52.580 --> 00:14:05.980
And there were pictures of very naked women, a lot of pictures of breasts, a lot of pictures of very large breasts. And this was motivated by the idea that

00:14:05.980 --> 00:14:08.480
arouse some kind of eros

00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:10.080
or some kind of sexual

00:14:10.080 --> 00:14:10.820
energy.

00:14:12.659 --> 00:14:14.740
That the course material

00:14:14.740 --> 00:14:15.940
partly about

00:14:15.940 --> 00:14:17.919
sexuality is not

00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:19.080
surprising for Emma.

00:14:20.139 --> 00:14:22.279
Sexual practices are part

00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:24.320
of many branches of contemporary

00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:24.919
tantra.

00:14:25.700 --> 00:14:29.340
But there was something about this that just felt like it was coming from the wrong place.

00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:34.379
What is really going on here? Something feels fishy.

00:14:39.620 --> 00:15:14.759
I met an extraordinary person who managed to create my course. In a Youtube video, a man close to the guru speaks.

00:15:44.940 --> 00:16:10.940
His name is Mihai Stojan and he has been involved in creating the teaching material with the naked women. He is known as one of the highest-ranking teachers at the school. That is what it is. Mihai Stojan spends a lot of time on a farm in Denmark, where he trains new yoga and tantra teachers.

00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:17.580
To bring this amazing, genuine, teacher of love to the world, which is tantra.

00:16:18.820 --> 00:16:25.840
One of those he has trained is the Swedish teacher Ragnar.

00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:39.899
In Malmö, Stockholm and Copenhagen, and in countries such as Uruguay, Japan, Germany and the USA, the ideas of the yoga movement are spreading.

00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:52.600
Sexual practices are seen as a way to reach higher spiritual states.

00:17:15.740 --> 00:17:17.319
And students are encouraged to send scantily clad photos to the guru so he can read their aura. Ashley attends the yoga school in London.

00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:27.599
She is new to the movement, but she is dedicated and has taken on board the most important message. The whole point is to crush the ego.

00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:32.180
She needs to crush her ego.

00:17:32.859 --> 00:17:37.779
And every time something at school feels wrong, that's what she tells herself.

00:17:38.000 --> 00:18:08.920
You are taught that your biases or resistance to certain things are your ego. That is how she reasons when she lets herself be photographed in her underwear to attend a tantric retreat. To stand there and have your mug shot taken. It doesn't feel right, but it is my ego, so forget it.

00:18:09.500 --> 00:18:10.220
Just look at it.

00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:16.680
One day, a woman within the movement calls Ashley.

00:18:17.460 --> 00:18:20.640
And in a heavy, resonant tone she says

00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:22.119
You have been initiated.

00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:28.779
She has been invited to meet the spiritual leader, Grieg.

00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:33.660
Ashley doesn't know what the meeting is about.

00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:37.380
Just that she should be allowed to travel to the guru's hideout.

00:18:38.059 --> 00:18:41.039
And that she must not tell anyone else about it.

00:18:45.539 --> 00:18:48.319
The woman says she doesn't have to go.

00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:50.279
but do at the same time

00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:52.000
clearly it is a part

00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:53.759
of her spiritual path.

00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:10.440
I just felt wow, what a level of expertise, knowledge and expertise.

00:19:11.579 --> 00:19:18.640
After attending yoga for a while, Kristoffer is invited to move into the school by the sea.

00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:24.640
Live there, make a living there, get up at five every morning.

00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:29.079
Two hours of meditation, two hours of yoga later.

00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:32.480
Then it's time for body work.

00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:39.279
Working for free, karma yoga, is an important part of the movement's ideology.

00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:50.960
We build some shelter, build fences, haul logs, lumber, carry branches, saw and cut down forests.

00:19:51.859 --> 00:19:58.099
Sometimes works in flower beds, sometimes takes care of the garden, cuts the grass, cleans.

00:19:59.279 --> 00:20:00.460
Completely normal work.

00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:06.119
Emma is tasked with helping

00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:08.039
with the retreats that the school

00:20:08.039 --> 00:20:10.160
It often happens.

00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:11.980
through them new people

00:20:11.980 --> 00:20:12.980
find the school.

00:20:13.980 --> 00:20:16.000
So, it's an entrance to the school.

00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:17.880
these silent retreats. It's very much

00:20:17.880 --> 00:20:19.359
new people on them always.

00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:21.279
Because people are looking for this.

00:20:21.740 --> 00:20:24.000
And that's a nice thing. But it's also an entrance

00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:25.119
to an organization.

00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:29.420
Which I have gradually felt I want to warn about.

00:20:37.460 --> 00:20:39.059
It's early morning.

00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:43.259
Kristoffer forces himself out of bed.

00:20:44.500 --> 00:20:45.859
The meditation begins at five o'clock.

00:20:46.680 --> 00:20:54.619
If you haven't gotten up and finished and are sitting with your eyes closed at five o'clock, you'll be scolded.

00:20:57.119 --> 00:21:03.740
What the hell are you thinking? Can you even look yourself in the eye? You're pathetic.

00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:05.420
Don't you want to be adults?

00:21:05.920 --> 00:21:07.039
Don't you want this too?

00:21:07.460 --> 00:21:08.619
What the hell is wrong with you guys?

00:21:11.180 --> 00:21:15.140
You are subordinate from the second you set foot here.

00:21:15.380 --> 00:21:18.119
The great wisdom and knowledge of what is right and wrong.

00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:20.160
And now you're going to be punished.

00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:25.039
It often came very suddenly.

00:21:25.220 --> 00:21:27.700
It was connected to something that was not done right.

00:21:28.420 --> 00:21:31.279
And then there was a planing and it became a really bad atmosphere.

00:21:31.480 --> 00:21:32.900
And then you would stand there and be ashamed.

00:21:35.480 --> 00:21:39.160
I specifically remember getting a real planing.

00:21:39.319 --> 00:21:41.559
Because I had removed moss from a stone.

00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:45.599
And my place is in the kitchen-

00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:46.079
and who even is that?

00:21:51.259 --> 00:21:53.539
And then we sat and took care of each other afterwards.

00:21:55.299 --> 00:21:57.559
And there was some strange community in that.

00:22:01.980 --> 00:22:04.160
You should give yourself up for something higher.

00:22:06.700 --> 00:22:07.140
By hand.

00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:12.119
Wake the fire, wake the fire, wake the fire, wake the fire, wake the fire, wake the fire, wake the fire, wake the fire, wake the fire.

00:22:13.680 --> 00:22:16.019
It's like a sword you drive into yourself.

00:22:17.779 --> 00:22:23.579
I have to purify myself, I have to cleanse myself, I have to become holier, so to speak.

00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:30.640
I kind of have to fight this meditation, yoga, karma yoga thing.

00:22:31.319 --> 00:22:34.160
Everything was almost a torment, but it was right.

00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:45.839
Kristoffer looks at the portrait of the guru, Gregorian Bivolaro, standing by the fireplace.

00:22:47.220 --> 00:22:51.920
The man they have never met, but who still dominates their lives.

00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:58.400
This whole thing about how to be, what you learn, all that stuff, it probably comes from him.

00:22:58.759 --> 00:23:29.960
Because he's the one who created everything. Orange shirt, white beard and wispy bangs. Through his pilot glasses he looks straight into the camera with a serious look.

00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:38.160
Gregorian Bivolaro has been placed on Interpol's wanted list.

00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:51.200
He is again accused of human trafficking.

00:24:08.140 --> 00:24:12.180
While police in several countries are searching for the yoga guru, Ashley from Australia steps off the train in springtime Paris. She has been instructed to travel here to meet the guru.

00:24:13.240 --> 00:24:15.759
She doesn't know what the meeting is about.

00:24:16.740 --> 00:24:19.420
Just that it's part of her spiritual path.

00:24:29.700 --> 00:24:30.819
Outside, a woman is waiting by a car.

00:24:32.859 --> 00:24:41.299
She opens the trunk.

00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:46.440
The flowers and chocolates are from him.

00:24:48.619 --> 00:24:50.740
Ashley gets in the car.

00:24:53.720 --> 00:24:56.359
The man at the wheel drives out of the city center.

00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:03.380
The woman asks for Ashley's passport and phone.

00:25:08.299 --> 00:25:11.039
She takes out the SIM card and wraps everything in foil.

00:25:17.059 --> 00:25:20.440
Ashley gets to put on a hat and a pair of sunglasses with electrical tape on the inside.

00:25:22.339 --> 00:25:23.759
She can't see anything.

00:25:29.259 --> 00:25:30.200
She doesn't know where she's going. And now she's starting to have doubts.

00:25:31.359 --> 00:25:37.119
That doesn't feel right.

00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:45.599
You've heard the first part of the Yoga sect. By me, Marcus Alfresson, Ida Nordén and Carmen Dixon.

00:25:49.480 --> 00:25:51.559
Emma, ​​Kristoffer and Ragnar are actually named something else.

00:25:56.279 --> 00:25:56.759
Ragnar writes to us that he is well aware that he has failed to show consideration,

00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:02.079
behaved harshly and heartlessly and that he regrets it.

00:26:07.900 --> 00:26:09.960
We have contacted Gregorian Bivolaro through his lawyer who declines to comment on our information.

00:26:16.359 --> 00:26:17.140
Bivolaro has never been convicted of human trafficking and denies having sexually abused the underage yoga student.

00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:33.960
She testified in his favor in the Supreme Court and has continued to deny that the guy had sex with her as an adult. Natha's schools in Sweden write to us, among other things, that they strongly distance themselves from all forms of abuse, abuse of power and manipulation.

00:26:35.319 --> 00:26:43.240
That everything takes place within the framework of safe and consent-based education, where there are no explicit sexual activities.

00:26:43.240 --> 00:26:49.539
And that they have no legal, administrative or financial connection to Gregorian Bivolaro.

00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:55.380
They also write that you are always free to withdraw and end your participation.

00:26:57.779 --> 00:26:59.700
The producer was Johan Sundström.

00:27:00.980 --> 00:27:08.339
The series is a collaboration with Danmarks Radio and reporters Melle Barré, Thomas Prackars and producer Annes Gerning.

00:27:09.779 --> 00:27:11.460
Final mix Tobias Sandin.
