Breath of Fire (TV series)

Breath of Fire is an American documentary series directed and produced by Hayley Pappas and Smiley Stevens.

[3] The series explores the life and career of Guru Jagat, a Kundalini yoga teacher, whose spiritual empire is faced with accusations of abuse.

[3] In December 2021, it was announced HBO Max had greenlit a documentary series revolving around Guru Jagat, with Hayley Pappas and Smiley Stevens set to direct, based upon reporting from Vanity Fair who will also co-produce.

[5] John Anderson of The Wall Street Journal praised the series and its editing writing: "Breath of Fire” comes in four episodes that skip along briskly, a viewer being just as beguiled, or bewildered, by the rise and fall of Guru Jagat as they are by the gullibility of her followers.

"[6] Joel Keller of Decider.com suggested viewing the series writing: "Breath Of Fire takes its entire first episode to set up the controversies surrounding the Kundalini Yoga movement and its two best-known leaders, but even after slogging through that first episode, we still want to learn more.
