And it's 'practices' as 'applicable technology'.
Yoga by itself literally means "Unite", although the term has been mis-interpreted as merely "fitness and health practices", which is not 100% incorrect either.
The approach is to teach others the 'technology' on how to experience the "non physical aspects" that cannot be easily sensed by the 5 physical senses. Once they experienced it then surely they will believe it as part of their reality, as experiencing is believing.
A simple example: once you experienced meeting your own higher self, you will definitely believe the conception of 'higher self' as part of your reality. The believe will be so strong that you do not need any assurance from others, including those who labeled themselves as 'scientist'.
This is actually a better approach compared to today's 'scientific experiment' as not all type of experiment (ie: Quantum particle experiment) can be easily performed by common folks thus witnessing the results themselves. What they do is they merely believe the results of the experiments as experienced and interpreted by others.

There are many things in the West that does not understand Eastern Philosophy, and Yoga is only one aspect. In churches today in the West they are still teaching "Devil Worship" regarding the Vedas, and denying there is any truth in the East. If not Devil Worship, then it is "Paganism" and worshiping "False God(s)". An immature and infantile attitude. The East has been misunderstood for centuries. When I rebelled against a Fundamentalist church, and went into ISKCON, it was like a "Rebirth" Philosophically, because what I had learned through indoctrination and brainwashing by the church was totally untrue. I returned to the church a few times as the "Backslider", and by the reaction of people, you would had thought the "Devil" himself, (not that I believe in such childish rhetoric), had walked through the door. They just did not get it.
Rebellion is also Liberation. Because it is an act of Self-Awareness and Self-Evolution. When I see the differences between where I started, and where I am now, it is, (literally), a "Quantum Leap" Philosophically. I know people today who are still at where I was, and they have not grown Spiritually. The indoctrination continues. When we comprehend the "Higher Self" and "Inner Reality", there is no going back. The next Rebellion was from ISKCON to Zen. Not a real Rebellion, (per se), more of an "Awakening". Another Quantum Leap. We never stop growing Spiritually. An argument many people do not understand. Rebel and Evolve.
