Yes it is a broad subject. Yoga philosophy is thousands of years old and ancient sankirt scriptures bring the two together.
Both yoga and meditation are combined as we BREATH into the stretch, and so we relax the nervous system.
From my experience, I practice yin yoga and yang yoga, and I find that yin yoga is most meditative because it is a very slow elongated practice, where we return to the breath and activate the subconscious mind.
In meditation, we may be present and less emotionally active, however we can be present and emotionally active with yoga. The two come hand in hand and complement eachother in harmony.
