Yoga is anaerobic now? lol. Btw all the aerobic activities you mentioned can be done anaerobically, depending on the intensity, aerobic and anaerobic refer to the formation of ATP, mitochondria either use oxygen, aerobic, or lactic acid, anaerobic, to create energy (ATP).
I guess I should have been more specific on what kind of Yoga! Have you ever tried a "chin stand" pose? "Crow pose"? "Astavakrasana"? All of these require a certain level of strength! "Yoga" is not really defined as aerobic or anaerobic, you are right. But thank you for the feedback + addressing ATP - did not want to get too deep into that as it's nuanced through the post that intensity or "how hard you are training" is what influences the zone you are performing in. So yes, if done at a certain level of intensity, those specific activities can be aerobic OR anaerobic.
