"Never forget that you are a man and therefore you must bleed for the goal of humanity. Listen you are still too juvenile for your age. You should get older, the years are dwindling and yet your work has not been accomplished.

Practice solitude assiduously without grumbling so that everything will in time become ready. You should not die unfulfilled. Your years are numbered and many years are still needed for your fulfilment. You should become serious and your work sink heavy as iron into the ground of mankind.

Let go of too much science. There lies the way that is not the way. Your way goes toward the depths, toward the rarest and deepest."

C. G. Jung - Black Books.

Yes, indeed, they have developed the Yoga for Health of the body, which might serve that purpose, but which it is not Yoga, at all, even though there is a branch of Yoga, the Hatta Yoga, that deals with the body healing part.

But of course, at least, it is adapted to the Western culture.

He isn't against it but against direct transplantation of ideas grown from a different mental soil and so rendering opposite results for people of western cultures.
Eg, you can see plenty of inflated, misguided "yogis" out of touch with any reality on social media for example.

‘The usual mistake of a Western man when faced with this problem of grasping the ideas of the East is like that of the student in Faust. Misled by the devil, he contemptuously turns his back on science and, carried away by Eastern occultism, takes over yoga practices word for word and becomes a pitiable imitator. Thus he abandons the one sure foundation of the Western mind and loses himself in a mist of words and ideas that could never have originated in European brains and can never be profitably grafted upon them.’

The world comes into being when man discovers it. But he only discovers it when he sacrifices his containment in the primal mother, the original state of unconsciousness.

C.G. Jung, Coll Works vol 5 par. 646

Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence.

“There is, however, yet another thing to be learnt from this example, namely that these transpersonal contents are not just inert or dead matter that can be annexed at will. Rather they are living entities which exert an attractive force upon the conscious mind. Identification with one's office or one's title is very attractive indeed, which is precisely why so many men are nothing more than the decorum accorded to them by society. In vain would one look for a personality behind the husk. Underneath all the padding one would find a very pitiable little creature. That is why the office—or whatever this outer husk may be—is so attractive: it offers easy compensation for personal deficiencies.”
