I do meditate without being into yoga...meditation is part of a letting go process. It improves my attention and focus on the present moment.

Yoga, you can say is an form of exercise, which gives energy, strength to your body and mind. (Without weight exercise)

Meditation: It is like being with oneself, with this individual gets time to know himself or herself in a much better way and improves mental ability like concentration and grasping power.

I hadn't given much thought to the difference between the two. I have to agree with both Jeremy B. and Alcohawk.

Yoga is a spiritual, mental and physical discipline, which helps attain permanent peace. But over the years, yoga is associated with physical fitness.

Meditation is a part of yoga, which should ideally be followed after yoga asanas. Meditative techniques take you through energising the body and intellect. Mediation also improves breathing and the mind, and eventually self-realisation.

Base on my observation, the obvious difference is that yoga is finding inner peace which involves both physical movements and mental conditioning. On the other hand, meditation is mainly mental conditioning while body is completely still.
