“Guru” Bikram was responsible for bringing hot yoga to the states and popularizing it. Without realizing, Larissa Anderson was slowly groomed by her then boyfriend and yoga studio owner to seamlessly fall right into Bikram's hands. He would eventually request massages from Larissa in front of hundreds of students and get more and more bold when they were alone together.Larissa underwent the intense 9 week bootcamp-style training to become an official  Bikram yoga teacher so that she could eventually open her own yoga studio.  Along with many other students, she endured ridicule from him, in the name of toughing up and being indestructible, and was later assaulted and r*ped by Bikram.  Larissa explains the depths of her grooming and brainwashing as she descended into the cult of this Guru-narcissist.Click here to watch on YouTubeClick here to watch part 2 on YouTube Catch the full story of Bikram, featuring Larissa, in the 2019 documentary “Bikram: Yogi, Guru, Predator”    Find Larissa on SocialIG: @yoginilarissaOur C2C vacation where we can meet you in real life and go on adventures together has 5 spots left!  Click here to go to the official booking page Who is Bikram?How Larissa was groomed into going to teacher trainingLarissa gets chosen to go to teacher training (has to pay a lot)Larissa's boyfriend at the time helped groom her for BikramBikram would call out Larissa in front of class to massage himWhat Larissa was made to do during the harsh teacher trainingBikram would ridcule his studentsWhat set Bikram apart?  Why did people follow him?What led to Larissa getting blacklisted by BikramLarissa hears Bikram calling to her telepathicallyLarissa goes back to BikramOur Merch!
