Dharma as a Vedic term gives the detailed meanings of laws of nature and truth. Every action has an in-depth meaning and reason according to the Dharma. For example, It is the dharma of fire to burn, or it is the dharma of a cow to give milk. Likewise, it is the dharma of human beings to reach the heights of spiritual consciousness. This practice of entering the milestones of human Dharma requires a person to free himself from all attachments and biases, which forms the basis of Yoga.

Hindus believe in the spiritual and religious teachings given by the universal Dharma i.e. the Sanatana Dharma, as reflected in the Vedas. Yoga, on the other hand, is again a broad system practiced with the motive of achieving self-realization goals. Anyone and everyone can practice yoga regardless their religion. Even an atheist can perform Yoga except for the Bhakti Yoga which is done in the name of God.
