Slow down, I don't think "all of those" yoga and mindfulness books claim to be "solid science" and I doubt they're all "not very scientific". You just took hundreds of books, assumed they all claim to be scientific, and attacked them for not being solid. This broad brush painting of two healthy habits' texts is pretty damn lazy writing, friend. Obviously, yoga is a movement practice and thus, one could write a very practical book about the muscles, ligaments, and tendons, how to foam roll and massage to enhance yoga, how yoga has scientifically proven health benefits, etc. Similarly for mindfulness, you look at Joseph Goldstein's book Insight Meditation, and it's mostly a combination of stories from his life as a Buddhist in Asia, alongside his learnings from Buddhist teachings. Nowhere does he claim it's scientific nor does he attempt to use pseudoscience. He stays in his lane and the book is a great one. So, friend, I'd say don't besmirch two very ancient and healthy habits which have aided millions of people, especially when you give zero pieces of evidence while seemingly not actually knowing those fields.
