What would the Dalai Lama say? The Bedford Post Inn, the tony Westchester farmhouse and restaurant owned by Richard Gere and Carey Lowell, has been dragging its heels on paying workers and vendors, three who have worked with the inn revealed.

The A-list couple took over the historic farmhouse in 2008 with partner Russell Hernandez, and revamped it into an eight-room inn, restaurant, cafe and yoga studio. Room rates range from $395 to $550 a night.

According to insiders, some yoga instructors at the inn who earn up to $75 per class have had payment delayed for up to three months at a time. The yogis say multiple e-mails and phone calls to accountants went unanswered, leading them to stand outside the accounting office in a trailer near the main house to beg for their paychecks.
