Yogis-

It’s also important to note that yoga has a tradition of dharma. And religion in the Western sense, as a belief system, is often different from a dharma tradition. Dharma, like yoga, is a difficult term to translate. Some call it natural law or the law of the consciousness universe. All dharmic traditions emphasize universal ethics like ahimsa [nonviolence], the theory of karma and rebirth, and a culture of meditation. But not all—for example, Buddhism—postulate any God or creator of the universe. Though recognizing a cosmic creator (known as Ishvara), most Hindu and Vedantic yoga traditions emphasize self-realization, rather than worship of God, as their main focus.
