Yoga guide accused of sexual exploitation after lengthy probe
Published By admin
An investigation has uncovered shocking allegations of sexual exploitation, grooming and trafficking, linked to the teachings of convicted sex offender and ‘bad guru’, who taught at a yoga centre in Oxford.
Gregorian Bivolaru, a 72-year-old Romanian, is spiritual guide to thousands of students at yoga schools affiliated to Atman – the International Federation of Yoga and Meditation.
In England, the guru’s followers run a registered charity called Tara Yoga Centre, which has working studios in London, Oxford and Plymouth.

Atman promotes the teachings of Bivolaru, a convicted sex offender who was charged in France in November 2023 with human trafficking, organised kidnapping, rape, and the French criminal offence of organised abuse of weakness by a sect.
He is also wanted in Finland on aggravated human trafficking charges.
