It is not. Yoga has no religion. Yoga has its origins in Hinduism and Buddhism but it like saying Modern Medicine or Science is Christian.

Yoga is a Sanskrit word it means "to add", "to join", "to unite",

yes Yoga can be religious if people so wish it to be but it can also be used for exercise as well.

Proper Yoga is spiritual also as it is all about focusing on one's atman

When I was young, I though yoga came from Buddhism as Buddha is always seen doing Yoga. But so is Shiva (Hindu god of destruction). I guess Yoga originated in Hinduism, as Shiva is one of the earliest gods of Hindus, but influenced all dharmic religions.

Shiva was the first Yogi

In ki khopdyon mein hawa bhar gai hey aur koi baat nahin hey.

When I was in first year of college, a friend of mine gave me few books on Yoga. Back in those days I also used to do weight exercise (still do but not as avidly). My friend told me that yoga exercises will help me with stretching my muscles, which was indeed the case. However, since I used to say prayers, I never bothered about the so-called spiritual or concentration part of yoga. Later, I learnt swimming and nothing helped me better with stretching my muscles and relieving with pain (due to weight exercises) than swimming. Point is, if someone wants to do yoga, he/she can, it is just one of several forms of exercises available.

Chinese have similar thing called Chi Kung or Qi gong. Again the idea is to exercise while trying to capture or harvest energy (what the hell is this?) around you. Well, these things look fascinating in cartoons and movies but they don't work in real life, at-least I have not experienced them working for me nor could anyone show me that they work for them. When you get sick, you take medicines for cure, not harvest mystical energies through Qi gong. No amount of spiritual exercise can protect you from getting ill from ingesting bacteria or loosing blood in an accident. Same is true for all the so-called mystical potions made up of ginseng root, birds nest soup, and what not. When you buy 10 gram Ginsing for US$ 50, your screwed up brain want to reassure you that it is working, whereas the fact is, it is only your brain that is reassuring you about mystical benefits. That is called placebo effect.

The other day, I was watching interesting psychological experiments. In one experiment, the researchers had group of people to taste a cake priced at US$50. The same group was made to taste exactly similarly prepared cake but priced at US$10. Guess what, unanimously, the group found US$50 cake tastier, moist, and fresh whereas recorded negative comments for the US$10 cake. When they were told that they actually tasted same thing but only with a different price tag, they became astonished. This is human psychology and that is how it works.

Bhai, Tai chi is a system of chi kung that has been combined with the framework of a martial art.

I just know that I slept while watching it in parks. It was the slowest torture a person can have, and I even am the laziest person alive but they hardly even move.

No we're not probably because practicing Yoga while fasting in the sweltering heat of Pakistan is the last thing on our minds right now and partly because Yoga never really got caught on by the average Pakistani.

You may shed some weight

Yoga has been India since aeons. The buzz around Yoga now is created only by Government and various sections of RSS. Heck, even newspapers are full of Govt sponsored advts on Yoga.

For a common man, its just a weekend they want to enjoy after a long tiring week.

Modiji must be ruing the fact that Yoga day was announced by UN during summer vacation of children or else imagine situation of teachers and students.

It is FATHERS DAY in most part of the world, I think that is what will be celebrated today
