Do you think it’s ok to advocate yoga-as-exercise to participants who may feel intimidated or turned off by the idea of meditation, the eight limbs, etc.? Is it ok to teach yoga as movement only, especially in a gym (i.e. non-dedicated studio) setting?
I think there is a difference in true yoga and mainstream yoga. I feel mainstream yoga is a stepping stone for many to become yogis. Some prefer to practice yoga on a deeper level, others not. It is important to know your audience.
