Free Yoga or costly indoor cycle

Yesterday my father sent me a lot of messages to encourage me for Indoor cycling. But as I dig deeper into the buying process I find it quiet a costly affair. On the other side, Yoga is free and without any risk involved. I want to know what are the poses that can do exactly same job as of .indoor cycling. So I can reply back to my dad to convince him of yoga being more beneficial then use of indoor cycling.

I'm not sure if you're trying to sell a product to us with this link or not. But in case you aren't...

Both are important. Cardio (which you'd get with the cycling) is important for your health and the strength, flexibility, and balance gains that you get from yoga are equally important to your health.

Indoor cycling and yoga are apples and oranges. Yoga is great for some strength, stretching, and toning. Indoor cycling is straight up, intense cardio with, in some cases, some strength training built in. I'm not sure where you live, but maybe check into your local YMCA for a membership. We live in Philadelphia and a family membership is about $100 a month for 4 people. For a single person, it is significantly less. I know that places like Soul Cycle are about $150 for 5 classes. Even a Planet Fitness will get you things like that for $10 a month, which is way less. I don't enjoy indoor cycling, so I don't do it. I do yoga and pilates, but I also fence (en garde) four hours a week and do TRX 1 hour a week and do at least 1-2 days of strength training each week. (Except this last week when I was on vacation - where I used the resort's gym three times, went hiking and did other things, but spent plenty of time on the beach too.)

Keep on losing!

Both yoga and indoor cycling are beneficial, with respect to cost, I think you should go to a gym, it is cheaper and you could do both activities there.
