What is Yoga? Can't Post
This question should be first on one's mind. Real Yoga is all about the Hindu religion. Check it out!

Yoga is a practice in which the spiritual practitioner focuses on developing a state of devotion within the mind and the heart. In yoga a strong sense of faith is needed as one is expected to submit themselves to God through a process of self surrendering.

Again, factually, real Yoga is Hinduism and actually has nothing to do with
God. Real Yoga also has nothing to do with selling clothes, etc.

In the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, 196 terse aphorisms describing the subject of Yoga, Patanjali, a sage and scientist who lived about 2500 year’s ago, describes the eight fold path of Astanga Yoga. These eight steps of Astanga Yoga outline the moral, physical, mental, emotional and intellectual conduct of the Yogi. Adherence to these steps leads the “sadhaka” (student) towards Enlightenment or “Samadhi.” Asana is the third step on the path of unification; the self with the universal self, after Yama (the don’ts) and Niyama (the do’s) of the Yogic life.

The word Yoga comes from the Sanskrit word "Yuj" meaning to yoke, join or unite. Although yoga includes physical exercise, it is also a lifestyle practice for which exercise is just one component. Many people think that yoga is just stretching. But while stretching is certainly involved, yoga is really about creating balance in the body through developing both strength and flexibility.

Yoga is widely known as a form of exercise that stretches and strengthens the body through various poses known as ASANAS. For other people yoga is the realization of inner self satisfaction. For others it is a religion that the believers ought to follow yoga retreat

In my opinion Yoga is a type of exercise which contains different type of "Asanas". Yoga keep us fit and it exercised our body properly.

The word Yoga comes from the Sanskrit word "Yuj" meaning to yoke, join or unite. This implies joining or integrating all aspects of the individual - body with mind and mind with soul - to achieve a happy, balanced and useful life, and spiritually, uniting the individual with the supreme.and their are also some types like yoga therapy, yoga retreat

The missing "Link" ("religio") is that if one is honest one will recognize that all aspects of real Yoga are all about the Hindu religion. This is fact.
