I don't think the benefits of yoga are only the physical exercise...
It's also somewhat connected to some forms meditation, which can be very beneficial as well, or am I mistaken here?
But I am not a regular yoga practicioner, so I really don't have any expertise^^

Yeah, there’s plenty of meditations. We meditate every night. But it’s just the same meditation practice you can find elsewhere wrapped in a yoga package. That’s my larger point. Yoga has benefits, from the asanas and the meditations, but these are available in other forms. People believe wild claims regarding yogic practice, but there are plenty of other avenues to these benefits, and many of the yoga benefits are overhyped. It’s great, I like it, but it’s not going to make you float above the ground. You can can meditate on your thyroid working properly without any kind of yogic language and you’d get equal benefit from that meditation. It’s one of many paths to health and enlightenment.
