So when you go into the ashram, they take all of the photos and videos of you naked.

What's the justification for that on the day?

They say it's to read your aura.

When I went to Romania, I was only doing the yoga.

I wasn't doing the tantra classes.

And it became very clear to me that most of the people in the school were there for the tantra.

And it's marketed to you as not being about sex.

And they say, everyone thinks tantra is about sex.

It's not about sex.

It's about love and living from the heart.

And that was what made me feel comfortable enough to open myself up to it a little bit more because it seemed less taboo.

Yeah, and once you're on a spiritual path...

You're taught to, in this situation, in a very dangerous situation, to question yourself rather than questioning the situation.

And so any kind of boundary that you put up is your own limitation.

And any reservations or doubts that you have are your own demons and your own spiritual tests to overcome.

So when did you get to meet the man?

I didn't meet him.

I'm so lucky I didn't meet him.

I got out.

Took about 24 hours of negotiation, though, to get out.
