I think I read that originally yoga was a mental and physical practice that later on had all these layers of religiosity added. Someone more knowledgeable feel free to correct me.

originally hindu meditation for seeking.... well... I'm not sure I understand it.

in the modern era there's both the traditional, religious yoga, and the people doing it for generic mindfulness and physical fitness. it's also in Jainism and Buddhism, but it started in hinduism.
