yogi
Spiritual discipline practitioner
A yogi is a practitioner of yoga, particularly someone devoted to its spiritual and meditative disciplines rather than just physical postures.
The term suggests serious commitment: He lived as a yogi in an ashram for ten years.
In casual use, yogi may describe anyone who practices yoga regularly: She's become quite the yogi since joining that studio.
