Now we know Yoga is Samadhi, how to attain Samadhi?
"ईश्वरप्रणिधानाद्वा" (Yog sutra 1.23)
From "Ishwar Pranidhana" one can attain Samadhi, but what does this mean? It means
प्रणिधानः भक्तिविशेषः (Vyasa commentary)
A type of Bhakti, No Yoga without Bhakti

प्रणिधानः भक्तिविशेषः (Vyasa commentary)
A type of Bhakti, No Yoga without Bhakti
Yog Sutra 1.24 defined Ishwara, definition of Ishwar is same as we see in Hindu Scriptures
Yoga Sutra 1.27 तस्य वाचकः प्रणवः
Ishwara is known through Pranava (Aum)
ॐ, ओ३म् or Aum
So there is NO Yoga without Aum

Vyasa Commentary
स्वाध्याययो मोक्षशास्त्राणामध्ययनं प्रणवजपो वा
Inseparable element of Yoga is Swadhyaya which means Study of Shastras(Scriptures) and chanting of Aum
These 2 come under Yoga too
Vyasa Commentary
स्वाध्याययो मोक्षशास्त्राणामध्ययनं प्रणवजपो वा
Inseparable element of Yoga is Swadhyaya which means Study of Shastras(Scriptures) and chanting of Aum

It is clear that Yoga is inseparable from the practices of Dharma.
Yes anyone can do Yoga,
but to do it properly you need to change your beliefs, need to believe in Ishwar, need to develop shraddha, Bhakti, Vivek, Vairagya etc
