We only seem to know or care about the commercialized version of hatha yoga promoted by gyms.

Still too much of some vague/futile ideology, try stretching instead.

Futile? You do realise how many people do hatha yoga now?

Many scientists and health practitioners recommend it for all sorts including stress. How is that futile?

You may then want to question, if some ancient scripture spoke of this type of yoga and it has value, why not investigate the other types. It took the west decades before it started taking up Yoga (mostly because of christian resistance/influence). So why not research into the other types?
