A trailer has dropped for ““Bikram: Yogi, Guru, Predator,” a Netflix doc that director Eva Orner describes as “a pre-#MeToo/#TimesUp story being told in a post #MeToo/#TimesUp world.” Bikram Choudhury had millions in the bank and millions of followers after moving to Beverly Hills from Calcutta in the early ’70s and building a global fitness empire. “But by the 2010s, as numerous sexual abuse allegations emerged and stories of his aggressive, cult-like training environment surfaced, the lawsuits started to mount and Choudhury’s unorthodox teaching style became front-page news,” the film’s synopsis details.

“He sees himself as a cross between Mother Teresa and Howard Stern,” one of the characters in the doc observes. Another adds, “I’d seen flashes of megalomania, but I didn’t know how diabolical he was.”

Others elaborate on the founder of hot yoga’s “ugly side,” which included preying on women by identifying their insecurities and celebrating their potential. “The young women who want to believe in something so badly, those are the people who he targets,” we’re told.

“I don’t want to say that I was brainwashed, but that is what was happening,” a former student says.

“I think it’s important to expose men in powerful positions who got away with sexual abuse and rape,” Orner told us. “We need to examine how this happens, what costs there are for the brave women who speak out, and how the legal system fails women.”

Orner’s directing credits include “The Network,” “Chasing Asylum,” and “Out of Iraq.” She produced “Taxi to the Dark Side,” for which she won the Academy Award for Documentary Feature.

“Bikram: Yogi, Guru, Predator” hits Netflix November 20.
