New Yoga

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.

Written almost two millennia ago, Patañjali's work focuses on how to attain the direct experience and realization of the purusa: the innermost individual self, or soul. As the classical treatise on the Hindu understanding of mind and consciousness and on the technique of meditation, it has exerted immense influence over the religious practices of Hinduism in India and, more recently, in the West.

It is said that the practice of dream yoga deepens our awareness during all our experience: the dreams of the night; the dream-like experience of the day; and the bardo experiences after death. Indeed, the practice of dream yoga is a powerful tool of awakening, used for hundreds of years by the great masters of the Tibetan traditions. Unlike in the Western psychological approach to dreams, the ultimate goal of Tibetan dream yoga is the recognition of the nature of mind or enlightenment itself.

Yogi Ranacharaka, alias William Walker Atkinson, diffuse in origine queste lezioni come libretti mensili, formano quello che era noto come "Corso per corrispondenza del 1904". Ma queste lezioni ebbero un tale successo dal pubblico, che furono poi raccolte in un libro. Costituiscono una presentazione semplice, pratica, ed elementare dell'occultismo orientale. Vi vengono affrontati temi come la successione di morti e rinascite, il Mondo Astrale, l'Aura umana, la chiaroveggenza.

Le dodici lezioni che formano questo volume, che seguono il corso in 14 lezioni di occultismo orientale e filosofia yoga, furono originariamente pubblicate mensilmente dall'ottobre 1904 al settembre 1905. Furono poi riunite in volume. Le prime quattro lezioni consistono in una spiegazione del piccolo manuale occulto noto come "Luce sul Sentiero". Le altre lezioni trattano delle varie branche dello Yoga, del Dharma e dell'etica Yoga, e della relazione dell'Uomo con l'Assoluto.

Nel 1904, William Waker Atkinson, pubblica col suo nome di Yogi questo manuale completo di Hatha Yoga, cioè della branca dello Yoga che si occupa del benessere fisico. La scienza del respiro, già descritta e spiegata approfonditamente nell'altro suo libro, viene ripresa, e affiancata da indicazioni sull'alimentazione, sulla idratazione, sulle funzioni intestinali, sull'esercizio fisico. L'autore stesso dice che chi si aspetta di trovare in questo libro una serie di cento complicate asana sarà deluso.

Nel 1903 William Walker Atkinson inizia a pubblicare una serie di opere firmandole col suo nome di Yogi; in tal modo rende evidente all'ascoltatore il taglio diverso che dà ai suoi scritti. In questo lavoro, il suo primo nel progetto di diffusione per pensiero Yoga nel mondo occidentale, insegna chiaramente e semplicemente le basi della respirazione Yoga, che, ripete più volte, è ben più di una respirazione che migliora la funzionalità polmonare e del corpo fisico.
