"A riveting work for readers interested in yoga and right-wing movements." - The Library Journal
The practice of yoga promises peace, self-realization, and release thanks to the power of its 'mystic' Indian origins. But what if this is just hype? In Fascist Yoga, Stewart Home sweeps away the half-truths to tell a new origin story of the world's first modern yogi - a Californian escapologist who added some Hindu fairy dust to gym and circus exercises.Ever since, the world of yoga has been full of grifters, occultists, and white supremacists, all out to exploit and recruit via the medium of exercise. From cult leaders to brainwashed followers, TV celebrities, and fake gurus, the story of yoga has involved some of the strangest currents of humanity.
Today, the COVID pandemic has activated elements within the modern yoga movement to espouse far-right conspiracies, and QAnon's fascist political programs mirror some of yoga's key early proponents.
In this new expos , Stewart Home shows that nothing is sacred.
