Yoga - exercise or philosophy of life?

For years I believed that Yoga might be in conflict with my faith. There seemed to always be allusions to Buddhism, and I had heard that the practice of transcendental meditation was taught in many studios. I went to my first session leery of these things, and in my over one hundred sessions at Yoga East, I was never uncomfortable with the philosophical side of the practice of yoga. The studio I am visiting in Florida is the other side of the coin.

I personally use the stillness and quietness for prayer. I wonder how many studios have this bent, and how I would feel about yoga if this had been my first experience? Interesting.
