Theres lots of categories in Yoga system...
Such as...Kriya yoga...Hatta yoga...Bakti yoga...Kundalini yoga...etc etc etc...
What is the total number of yoga?
And what is the purpose of each yoga system?
Or the same yoga system having the different names?

The word "yoga" means to yoke or union. Yoga is considered one of the orthodox systems of philosophy in India. Many people today know yoga only as the physical postures, but there are other paths that yogis have used in order to achieve enlightenment.

Yep! Now its a sytem of exercise!
When the Maharishi Yoga couldnt sell ""Yoking with the gods"" as a religion he went back to Inia.
Now the same religion is being sold as EXERCISE!
