New docuseries examines rise and fall of yoga figure Katie Griggs known as Guru Jagat

A new docuseries titled "Breath of Fire" explores the life of Katie Griggs, known as Guru Jagat. Once a popular yoga and wellness figure, she gained fame with a multimillion-dollar business but faced criticism for cultural appropriation and abusive behavior before her death at 41. The series highlights Griggs's rise from a YouTube astrologer to a spiritual leader with celebrity followers. It contrasts her charismatic public persona with her troubling actions, including promoting conspiracy theories and creating a toxic work environment. Following her death, Griggs's community has reevaluated her legacy, leading to the closure of her Los Angeles studio. The filmmakers aim to encourage skepticism about the wellness industry and illustrate the dangers of manipulation within spiritual communities.
