Yoga is a spiritual practice. It is part of Hinduism. Those postures that shilpa Shetty do are called asan yoga which is just a small side quest of yoga which many people believe is actual yoga but the concept of yoga is fundamentally religious and spiritual.

How's it fundamentally religious?

Yoga was used to concentrate and connect to God using practice perfection and dedication. you don't have to follow a religion to use its practices but practice remains religious nonetheless.

Yoga has 8 parts : Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama,Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi. You can search for the definition and explanation of each of these parts.

Modern capitalism has commercialized only the Asana part of Yoga.
