>Yoga was developed over thousands of years and specifically to heal the body

Yoga is a collection of meditation techniques. The transformation of a very specific form of yoga (Hatha) into an exercise routine is a western development.

> The serious kind. Lots of bs out there

In fact I think that for physical fitness, it would be better to concentrate on western-style yoga rather than the "serious" stuff (prayers, sleep control etc).
