    Escaping a Cult Posing as a Yoga Movement - ATC International

    Ashleigh Freckleton was 25, living alone in London after a breakup, when she was drawn into what seemed like a spiritual yoga community.  To immerse herself fully into that community, Ashleigh travelled to Romania to practice its teachings.  Now featured in Apple TV's Twisted Yoga, she shares how that experience escalated into an alleged world of coercion, exploitation, and psychological control that followed her across Europe.
