Thanks to the power of its "mystic" Indian origins, yoga promises peace, self-realization, and release. But what if this is just hype? In Fascist Yoga, Stewart Home sweeps away the half-truths to reveal a new origin story of modern postural practice.

Starting with the world's first modern yogi—a Californian escapologist who added Hindu fairy dust to circus exercises—this history reveals a community full of grifters, occultists, and white supremacists, out to exploit and recruit via the medium of exercise.

From Aleister Crowley to Ezra Pound to Heinrich Himmler, cult leaders and brainwashed followers, TV celebrities, and fake gurus, the story of yoga has involved some of the strangest currents of humanity with a dangerous understanding of wellness.

This is a fascinating topic but the is a surface coverage of it that felt, at the end, like the author even got bored trying to go deeper

Shame it wasn't more developed

Looking around, it looks like this book is getting review bombed by the exact kind of people whose work is critiqued within. As someone without any skin in the game, I found the book interesting and well researched, and it helped give some context to the various connections ive noticed in yoga, wellness, and health spaces.

I'd hoped for a debunking of "mystic practice " not this paranoid neo nazis everywhere nonsense
