"Rollicking and well-researched...A story of scandal, financial
shenanigans, bodily discipline, oversize egos and bizarre love
triangles." -"Wall Street Journal"
More than fifteen million Americans currently practice yoga
(according to "Yoga Journal"), but how many of them know the true
story of how Downward Dog first captivated America? Resurrecting a
fascinating and forgotten tale, journalist Robert Love returns to
the Gilded Age, when Dr. Pierre Bernard (ne Perry Baker in Iowa)
revived a discipline banned in Victorian India, packaged it for
Americans, and taught legions of followers, who bankrolled his
luxurious Hudson River ashram- the first in the nation. Filled with
Jazz Age celebrities, heiresses, spies, and outraged clergy, "The
Great Oom" is the enthralling life story of the unlikeliest of
gurus, and a stunning saga of mysticism, intrigue, and the American
dream.
