Doesn't the Bhagavad Gita say something like "Action (ie karma) is merely the gunas acting upon the gunas, while men in their delusion think themselves the doers of an act" ??? The view being presented there seems counter to the idea of free will. But maybe I'm misinterpreting it or something. (I think I can go find the actual verse if you want. Unless, of course, your particular brand of yoga denounces the Gita or something.)
I don't think the idea of God works for or against the idea of free will. There are plenty of atheistic free willists out there. So I don't know where you got the idea that atheism = incompatibilism.
