How a scandal involving sex, money and a Wiccan coven brought down yogi John Friend.

The man who brought together heat, yoga, monthly fees to use his methods, and raw sexuality, on allegations that he has slept with scores of his followers: “Only when they give me no choice! If they say to me, ‘Boss, you must fuck me or I will kill myself,’ then I do it! Think if I don’t! The karma!”

John Friend, who founded a new school of yoga, says the practice should be about both exercise and spirituality. Oh, and making money.
