Maybe because yoga has absolutely nothing to do with the occult

Yoga and occult powers

Sadhaka : What is the place of various occult or mystic powers in Yoga practice?

Swamiji : One of the most important things that you have to know about them is that they are by-products, all of which have to be passed by on way, since none of them is your destination. They are a sure sign that you are progressing. They serve as encouragement.

It's possible to connect the two. It's also possible to practice yoga and do nothing Satanic.

Many Protestants believe in faith healing, prophecy,and speaking in tongues, all of which has clear Biblical support.
Many Catholics believe that saints have exhibited mystical powers such as healing, bilocation(being in two places at once), levitation, the "odor of sanctity", reading the minds of others, stigmata, exorcising demons, granting wishes of petitioners through supernatural means, and having their bones possess magical powers.
These are the same powers claimed by yogic adepts.
If yoga is full of the occult and mysticism, so is Christianity
