World of Secrets is where untold stories are exposed.
And in this new series, we investigate the dark side of the wellness industry, following the story of a woman who joined a yoga school only to uncover a world she never expected.
I feel that I have no other choice.
The only thing I can do is to speak about this.
Where the hope of spiritual breakthroughs leaves people vulnerable to exploitation.
You just get sucked in so gradually and it's done so skillfully that you don't realize.

Hello, I'm Brian Cox.
I'm Robin Ince, and this is the Infinite Monkey Cage.
Today, we ask a big question.
What if there existed a universe that was without Patrick Moore or indeed Brian Cox?
What if there was a cosmos without the sky at night?
Because there was no sky at night, just an inky blackness.
The experience of standing alone on a clear night and looking at the stars, of dreaming of worlds beyond our own, worlds beyond imagination, is not only a powerful emotional experience, but also a powerful intellectual one.
The attempt to understand the motion of those points of light in the dark was key to the development of modern science.
And it is something, something we talked about a lot when we were on tour.
