About the Book: Fascist Yoga by Stewart Home challenges the widely accepted myths surrounding yoga’s spiritual and Indian origins. Tracing its roots to a Californian escapologist who blended circus tricks with Hindu mysticism, the book uncovers yoga’s surprising modern beginnings. Home exposes how yoga has been used by grifters, cult leaders, occultists, and even white supremacists to manipulate and exploit followers. With sharp critique and dark humor, he reveals the strange, controversial history behind the global yoga industry. This provocative exposé is perfect for readers interested in the hidden history, cultural appropriation, and politics of yoga.
