I just can't see this as adiaphora - you look at what the Hindus say, you look at what Mohler says, and then still say it's adiaphora?
No, I look at what the Bible says, and then I say it's adiaphora.
If you can't see it as adiaphora, then submit to God and don't do it. Your conscience isn't warning you about it because it hates you. If you are concerned about others doing it, share your concern with them (as you have done here, for which I thank you) and then pray and trust the Holy Spirit to make the matter clear to His children. You don't have to convince them; God is the one who changes hearts.
Do you believe in general revelation? If so do you believe there is anything in general revelation that is not explicitly in the Bible?

Yes, there is. Thermodynamics, for example.
However, I also believe that Scripture is sufficient for instruction in righteousness (2 Tim 3:16).
It is thermodynamics that enables us to create guns; it is Scripture that forbids us from murder.

Is a series of stretches without accompanying prayer or philosophy more serious than foods set before idols and sacrificed?
If the issue of foods offered to idols is counted as adiaphora by Paul, than surely yoga-ish stretching is adiaphora.
The argument would have to go something along the lines of handling Uranium. It matters not what you think of it, what you wish it to be, it has fatal effects. Nothing in the Bible says it has fatal effects etc. Saying it is just a rock does not change anything. Is that the case here, not sure but no reason to mock the belief that there can be certain problems.

Or water? Water has fatal effects too. And actually the Bible says that it does.
