Meta-studies are pretty clear on the physical benefits: if you do yoga regularly, you will see improvements to balance, flexibility, strength, cardiovascular health and muscle tone.
It is, says Amy Ku Redler, a yoga teacher of 30 years, about connecting our physical, psychological, emotional and energetic beings connecting ourselves to ourselves.
A yoga person wouldn't try to sort the benefits into mind and body. They would take it as obvious that if yoga reduces anxiety, it will help a whole suite of inflammatory disorders caused by (and, in turn, exacerbating) stress: arthritis, poor digestion, broken sleep.
