Yoga is not a religion, it is a way of living that aims towards a healthy mind in a healthy body.
Man is a physical, mental and spiritual being; yoga helps promote a balanced development of all the three. Other forms of physical exercises, like aerobics, assure only physical well-being. They have little to do with the development of the spiritual or astral body.
Yogic exercises recharge the body with cosmic energy and facilitates:
Attainment of perfect equilibrium and harmony

Removes negative blocks from the mind and toxins from the body
