People make this topic so complicated and confusing; most of the time they just go on and on, with out making any sense. They put their own views into their large essays. In a nutshell the tenth gate is a region within your head, if a Sikh follows Gurbani and lives according to Gurmat; in time the tenth gate is open and then one merges with the Lord (Supreme light). The tenth gate is opened with Guru Ji’s grace. Some yogis can force the tenth gate open with their yogic techniques of breath control, but they still see darkness, Waheguru does not reveal himself, because the yogi didn’t open the tenth gate through Guru Ji’s grace.
I will prove what I have said with Gurbani:
The body is the play-thing of the fickle and unsteady intellect It has nine doors, and then there is the Tenth Gate Reflect upon this and understand it, O wise one. –Ang 152-Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

The nine doors being two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, mouth, anus and urethra.
The body is a bag with seventy-two chambers, and one opening, the Tenth Gate.-Ang 477-Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
Says Kabeer, the nine openings of the body are being plundered; rise up to the Tenth Gate, and discover the true essence-Ang 339-Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
These nine are plundered by negativity, but if we listening to Guru Ji and obtain his grace we can get rid of negativity and reach the tenth gate.
The hard and heavy doors of the Tenth Gate are closed and locked. Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, they are thrown open. In the Tenth Gate, the Primal Lord, the unknowable and infinite dwells; the unseen Lord reveals Himself.-Ang- 1033 Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, he burns away his anger He dwells in the Tenth Gate, immersed in the Samaadhi of deep meditation touching the philosopher's stone, he obtains the supreme status.-Ang 411-Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
Beyond the nine gates, the Tenth Gate is found, and liberation is obtained. The Unstruck Melody of the Shabad vibrates.-Ang 110-Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
The fortress of the body has nine gates; the tenth gate is kept hidden. The rigid door is not open; only through the Word of the Guru's Shabad can it be opened The unstruck sound current resounds and vibrates there. The Word of the Guru's Shabad is heard-Ang 954-Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
Through the Gurdwara, the Guru's Gate, some are blessed with loving faith, and the Tenth Door is revealed to them.-Ang 922-Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
Through the Tenth Gate, the stream of nectar flows; take your bath in this.-Ang 727-Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

From the Sky of the Tenth Gate, the Ambrosial Nectar trickles down.-Ang 153-Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
The Tenth Gate is the home of the inaccessible, infinite Supreme Lord.-Ang 974-Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
The above is the Gursikhs way of true yoga and the way to open the tenth gate. Like I said before some yogis can open the tenth gate, but they still see darkness:
What Yoga does he practice by having matted and tangled hair? If the mind is not pure, what use is it to hold the breath at the Tenth Gate?-Ang 1169-Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
The Yogi draws the breath upwards, and opens the Tenth Gate He practices inner cleansing and the six rituals of purification. But without the Lord's Name, the breath he draws is useless. The fire of the five passions burns within him; how can he be calm? The thief is within him; how can he taste the taste? One who becomes Gurmukh conquers the body-fortress.-Ang 905-Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
Inner cleansing techniques, channeling the energy to raise the Kundalini to the Tenth Gate inhaling, exhaling and holding the breath by the force of the mind - by empty hypocritical practices, Dharmic love for the Lord is not produced. Only through the Word of the Guru's Shabad is the sublime, supreme essence obtained. -Ang 1043-Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

Gursikhi is the true form of yoga, some Sikhs do basic yoga as a form of exercise to keep the body healthy (which is good). But to go too deep and dwell in yoga is a waste of time as Gurbani tells us.
