This actually is an English language concept. We need to use “a” before words that start with a consonant sound and “an” before words that start with a vowel sound. Since "Yo" sounds as a consonant, "a" Yoga is correct

Original word is yog not yoga . It is English style to suffix a for many Indian words 'a' and secondly an or a I think in case traditional Indian word we should not follow each every eglish grammer for translation . It is not compulsory to follow English grammar always . We have to keep some original and only Indian are always easily ready to change and changing eventually we will lost our original language , acsent , pronunciation everything if we each and every keep following English language and their culture. So original word is yog and we are practicing yogasan not yogasana . Thank you read less

Practising and learning yoga from past 5 years and have been taking online classes since lockdown.

Placing 'a' or 'an' before a word has originated from English grammar. We place 'a' before consonants and 'an' before vowels. Since 'y' in yoga is a consonant so 'a yoga' would be correct. But yoga is a Sanskrit word meaning union so from Hindi language perspective none would be correct.

a and an are known to be the articles. an is written with words beginning from a,e,i,o,u and rest words is written with a. Therefore in this question, the word yoga begins from the first letter- y and hence we will use “a yoga”. So, “ a yoga” is correct here.

What is the difference between Yogasanas and other exercises?
In yoga asana all the movements are very slow, steady, smooth, rhythmic, like a poetry. Where as in exercises all the movements are fast that increases your heart rate. In Yogic practice your heart rate does not go that high.
