'Anything Stewart Home writes intrigues me... He turns things upside down and shakes them up'
Lynne Tillman author of Weird Fucks and Mothercare The practice of yoga promises peace
self-realisation 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 and brainwashed followers to TV celebrities and fake gurus the
story of yoga has involved some of the strangest currents of humanity. In this new exposé
Stewart Home shows that nothing is sacred. Stewart Home is a legend of counterculture. He is
an artist filmmaker pamphleteer art historian and activist and the author of countless pulp
fictions including most recently Art School Orgy and She's My Witch . He regularly performs to
audiences across the world.
