Yoga is a part of religion
Yoking
Yoga is a term which means yoking, and in itself is not a religion , but is a practice of Hinduism.
It is hoped that through yoking with the god Brahma that one can break free from the circle of reincarnation and come to a place of eternal peace instead of needing to keep coming back to raise ones level of Karma.
It is a practice from a specific religion with different types of yoga as in Hatha yoga for exercise , Kundelini yoga for sensual heightening, to sexual semen retention and orgasm control as in Tantra yoga.
