We hope you're ready to learn because we mean business. If you mean business, you are serious and determined about what you're doing. Meet Barbara. She works in business. It's the area of work she does.

00:00:25 Speaker_00
I'm an operations analyst and my husband is an auditor. We work in business. Now meet Joshua. He's set up a business. That means he's prepared, planned and now has a business. I've set up a bakery. I make and sell cakes and bread.

00:00:47 Speaker_00
He's the owner but he's also running the business. That means he's managing it and working in it. Unfortunately, his customers aren't very happy. £10 for a loaf of bread? You're going to go out of business with those prices.

00:01:05 Speaker_00
If you go out of business, you don't make enough money and you have to close down. Poor Joshua.

Yoga is more than just exercise. It's the spiritual practice that millions swear by. And in 2017, Miranda, a university tutor from London, joins a yoga school that promises profound transformation.

00:01:35 Speaker_02

00:02:06 Speaker_01
World of Secrets is where untold stories are unveiled and hidden realities are exposed. In this new series, we're confronting the dark side of the wellness industry, where the hope of a spiritual breakthrough gives way to disturbing accusations.

00:02:22 Speaker_01
You just get sucked in so gradually.

00:02:26 Speaker_02
and it's done so skillfully that you don't realise. And it's like this, the secret that's there. I wanted to believe that, you know, that

00:02:40 Speaker_02
whatever they were doing, even if it seemed gross to me, was for some spiritual reason that I couldn't yet understand. Revealing the hidden secrets of a global yoga network. I feel that I have no other choice.

00:02:55 Speaker_02
The only thing I can do is to speak about this and to put my reputation and everything else on the line. I want truth and justice. and for other people to not be hurt, for things to be different in the future.

00:03:16 Speaker_02
To bring it into the light and almost alchemise some of that evil stuff that went on and take back the power.
