Categorizing Yoga and gym together is not correct.
You work out in the gym to burn your calories while in yoga, you don’t burn calories, but restore the energy of our body. When you are practicing yoga, every cell of your body functions to extract and then restore the energy released from the calories and fat in your body.

The same energy which is experienced when you have just woken from a good sleep is experienced during yoga. This is not what happens after a workout session in the gym.
So yoga recreates and restores your energy while gym uses the energy to burn calories.

And as I said, yoga and gym can’t be categorized together, they become incomparable. So I would not say that yoga is a replacement for the gym or vice versa.
