Can i combine yoga and physical exercises?

Yoga is physical exercise. Depending upon how long you do your yoga, I wouldn’t combine them into one session and would probably either do some strength training one day and yoga another, but you should probably be ok.

Physical exercise and yogasana are two different concepts.(yogasana is a part of 8 stages of Patanjali yoga sutra) Yogasana relaxes the body and mind. Physical exercise build up muscles. Yogasana has specific breath control instructions to be followed. Physical exercise has no such control. Yogasana will make your inner mind and soul stronger.Body flexible. Physical exercise does not care about mind. Makes the body rigid and gives a false sense of being strong. Better to stop with Yogasana.Not to mingle both.

Yes, of course, Yoga is part of life and life includes exercise. There are specific types of Yoga that are very physical.
