It does not unless you've reached the tantric level, and then again there is no "requirements".

It dosen't. Some schools and teachers may have yoga as part of their training and practice. Others don't. If you want to find a really stripped down, simple form of Buddhism, I suggest you investigate Zen Buddhism.

I am unaware of any Buddhist practice that requires yoga, however there are many yoga 'poses' which are used in meditation. Yoga can be an excellent physical and mental support to any meditation practice - whether Buddhist or otherwise.

I am not sure that Buddhism requires yoga. I think that Buddhism is based on the results of meditation. But I would question whether Buddhism can only be appreciated through meditation.

Buddhism doesn't actually require ANYTHING. nothing at all. anything you have read about reaching Nirvana and yoga, or meditation, or not killing and being a good person, etc. etc. those are all suggestions for a better living. if yoga helps you better yourself and clear your mind, go for it.

Yoga is a form of meditation that produces inward perception and awareness to oneself. Which will manifest outwardly. Through your examples. Meditation and yoga aligns your chakras, this alignment raises your positive energies inside which helps heal your body, that manifest outwardly, and opens your third eye, to find solutions to problems in life.
Buddhism is inward awareness, yoga is another form of inward awareness.

um--i'm not sure any form of buddhism actually requires it. buddhism has its roots in hinduism, and hatha yoga is usually taken as a part of hinduism (hinduism being a VERY broad term)
hope that helps

It doesn't - it started as a Hindu thing and means 'to connect' body, mind and spirit.
I had some other sarcastic comments in mind but I don't want to waste them.
