user137: My personal opinion is yes.
Yoga philosophy and buddhism are based on common roots and many concepts are very similar or exactly the same.
For example:  

Noble Eightfold Path are very similar to Yamas in Yoga
Concept of Reincarnation
Karma
Meditation approach as technique to reach enlightenment  
Meditation positions: actually the lotus posture, usually used in Buddish for meditation, is a yoga asana
Yantra
Mudras

In general all philosophy born in the area between India/Nepal/Bhutan share the common base culture and so it is difficult to separate one from another.
For example, is this question in line with the scope:  

Relationship between Buddhism, Hinduism and Yoga? 


user145: I think Yoga (as Patanjali tradition) should not be discussed on Buddhist themed site. Only with exception of comparative buddhology. Then it should be welcome. Like if someone can explain difference of concept of karma between Buddhism and Yoga (or any other school).

user32: I would argue that yoga philosophy (and yoga more generally) in a Buddhist context is more than acceptable, but not yoga that is divorced from a Buddhist context. Those might be excellent questions, but they won't have much to do with the core of the site.
