Julie Salter's story of suffering a decade of abuse at the hands of Sivananda yoga's founder caused activists to rise up against the spiritual institution that failed them. Further testimony against #Sivananda executive Thamatam Reddy, known within the organization as "Prahlad", and former executive Maurizio Finocchi, known as "Swami Mahadevananda". It quotes “Nadine" describing Reddy abusing her from the ages of 12 to 17.

In January, GEN reported that Sivananda yoga was shaken to its core by a single social media post detailing sexual abuse by its founder. Now, after decades of cover-ups, sexual abuse within the community is officially coming under fire.

In December, Julie Salter wrote in a Facebook post that she’d endured a decade of abuse at the hands of late yoga icon Swami Vishnudevananda. The viral post thrust the Sivananda community into yoga’s ongoing #MeToo reckoning.

This history of corruption within the Sivananda Yoga community extends even further than Reddy. To date, 3 of the global yoga schools inspired by Swami Sivananda’s 1930s mission are now known or alleged to have been headed up by sexual predators.

Sivananda Yoga has responded by launching an independent investigation, but its followers have rejected the terms and scope of it. Allies of Salter launched “Project SATYA” to take matters into their own hands.
