I think the idea behind Yoga/relaxation/exercise and daily devotions are two separate, and not necessarily mutually exclusive, things. ie. You can do one or the other or both. Yoga is not going to take the place of your devotions, nor is devotions an equitable substitute for what Yoga tries to achieve.
Granted, as has been mentioned, some forms of Yoga may be spiritually and mentally susceptible, yet, as we have been alerted to by KF, there are other forms. Personally, I'm restricting my opinions as I have not tried either and there is some truth and basis for the old adage of 'don't know it until you try it'. And generally my preference is to give more credence to the assessments of those who have tried it.
God bless.
