Is it harmful to indulge in exercises other than asanas?

Not at all. One can safely practice any system of exercise but take care avoid excess use of the body in that system. At the same time it is prudent to practice yoga also to give a different kind of workout to the body. As medical professional I would recommend we try to balance practicing yoga and also some other kind of exercise as the body needs both kinds of pathways. One cannot compare apples and oranges- each has its own benefits without deleterious effects.
