If you are referring to strict physical discipline, then that is the path espoused by disciplines such as Raja Yoga. In Jnana Yoga, there exist less limitations -- such as celibacy, non-violence, and other basic yamas and niyamas. In more religious ways of life (such as Mimamsa), regular chanting and rituals are absolute necessary.
It depends on what school you identify with. I identify with Jnana Yoga, because it is the path of enquiry, as opposed to Bhakti Yoga, which is a more ritualistic and prayer-based form of yoga. I do perform basic Hatha Yoga everyday (surya namaskara) , to stay on track at least minimally, because no intellect can survive for long in a malnourished and lousy body.
