Yoga Traditional view

Yoga is a complete system, of which the postures or asanas are a small quite useful part. The word "Yoga" referred to the whole, not merely one part, which is the postures, or Asanas. The entire purpose of Yoga is spiritual in nature, according to the ancient sages.

Goal of Yoga is Yoga

The goal or purpose of Yoga is Yoga itself, union itself, of the little self and the true self, a step to awakening the preexisting union that is called Yoga. The term Yoga is the preexisting union between Atman and Brahman, Jivatman and Paramatman, and Shiva and Shakti, or the realization of Purusha standing alone as separate from Prakriti.
