Not a fan of yoga but this is one of the reasons for confusion. As I understand it, there are several types of yoga, some are as you said, bodyweight exercises and some are basically adult nappy time. Not at all familiar with the terminology but when I used to do weightlifting, I had a minor injury and it was recommended I attend a yoga class. It did not help and I really don't believe it makes you stronger. I mean, probably if that's the only type of exercise, it will clearly beat running or whatnot wrt to strength.
