Welcome to \"Spiritually Fucked,\" a true crime podcast that takes you deep into the heart of yoga's shadows and explores the realm of the unknown where malevolence meets mysticism. Join us as we shed light on cases where spirituality has been exploited and twisted for nefarious purposes.

In each episode, we'll uncover unsettling stories of yoga practitioners and spiritual seekers who have fallen prey to deception and manipulation. From fraudulent gurus to metaphysical schemes gone awry, we'll expose the dark underbelly of a world that's meant to be serene and transformative. \"Spiritually Fucked\" invites you to confront the uncomfortable truths that lie beyond the serene exterior, examining the intricacies of belief and the vulnerability of those seeking spiritual enlightenment.

Tune in as we unravel the mysteries and crimes that disrupt the sacred balance of spiritual practices, and explore the untamed aspects of human behavior within the spiritual realm.
