Stewart Home, writer, artist, man who can literally stand on his head and recite hia work (which includes cultural commentaries, poems, short stories, essays, and well, if it involves the written word and a radically political bent...Stewart's done it). He's been at it since the early 1980s, born and raised in London, and....

Let's cut to the chase.

His book is called "Fascist Yoga: Grifters, Occultists, White Supremacists, and the New Order In Wellness."

Yes, an accomplished human being that Greg had never heard of (there are many) wrote a book with that title and if you're under any impression Greg isn't going to interview that guy on his show, you've been listening to too much Jay Shetty.

To quote Stewart's description: "In this he sweeps away the lies 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."

You've just finished saluting the sun and in return, it flipped you the bird.

Breathe in, breathe out. A tall glass of truth will do a lot better for you than sniffing that essential oil...
