A HIPPY yoga teacher who appeared on TV’s This Morning has swapped peace and love for right-wing hate.

Jody Swingler was seen by ITV viewers with Corrie star Amanda Barrie – tapping a gong as part of sound bath meditation therapy.

Swingler studied yoga in India and has offered a range of holistic treatments with what she called “a lot of laughter and love”.

But the soothing ways do not chime with her social media posts and online videos spouting anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.

She rants about immigrants and calls Black Lives Matter an “attack” on white people.

Swingler is now part of radical group Patriotic Alternative, run by holocaust denier and ex-BNP member Mark Collett.

He featured in a TV documentary called Young, Nazi and Proud and was once recorded saying AIDS was a friendly disease “because blacks, drug users and gays have it”.
