is this still yoga?

The question should be "What is Yoga?" There is so much confusion around what yoga is. The main texts on yoga state very clearly what yoga is.
In the Yoga Sūtra of Patañjali Chapter 1 Verse 2 he states "Yoga is the containment of the minds activities." In this ancient collection of 192 thought provoking aphorisms Patañjali only mentions yoga postures (āsana) in 4 verses. The rest is mainly about ‘mind’!
In the Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā, Yogī Svātmārāma states in Chapter 1 verse 1 that it is the preparation of the body (Haṭha Yoga) to work with the mind (Rāja Yoga).
Having a clear view of what yoga is, will allow you to determine "is this still yoga?"
