there are alot of very advanced Indian Martial Arts and as far as i know some incorporate Yoga for body development.
As for some of the rediculous stuff you see in the west ...... i would have to say ..... no.

It increases flexibility. It probably has more application than what most people do for stretching exercises. Yoga is mostly for health and well-being. It does make you flexible, healthy and strong, but I've never seen any combat-oriented exercises or techniques. I guess being flexible could also help if you ever had to hide or something.Comment

No it is purely an 'exercise' based system designed for inner health.Originally posted by EmptyneSs
Some martial artists (eastern internal artists especially) may practise yoga, but that does not make yoga a martial art.Comment
