Personally I do not see why you cannot combine yoga with the gym.

Once I took a course with a real rishi and he urged us strongly to practice sports. He even played football (soccer in America) with us, his students.

If you work hard in the gym for more than two hours, it is probably hard to
practice asanas.

My solution is simple: in the days when working out in the gym, I do not practice asanas but only pranayama and meditation.
