certain meditations in new age,buddhist like mindfullness and chakra meditation are also present in these two religions ..what makes satanism stand out from these two religions ..even new age stresses on hatha yoga and kundalini yoga ..so how does satanism stand out?
New age is an umbrella term for everyone who doesn't follow a religion and believes in lovey dovey stuff that Satanists don't, they don't have specific beliefs or practices. Many New Agers only practice manifesting and unconditional love to ascend to fifth dimension, others do Tarot, and astrology readings, and others channel "Pleiadians" and other entities.
Even if others do the same thing, the difference in religions are not so much in their practices, but their teachings. The practices are a means to an end, what matters is not the practices, but the purpose for which you are used. You may do the exact same practice but use it for the opposite purpose, i.e. a Buddhist doing some meditation to deny himself and renounce the world and reach nirvana while a Satanist doing the exact same thing to train his mind to focus like a laser so he can use magick successfully.
One thing you'll never hear a Satanist is say you should practice unconditional love or that we're one with the universe or you should try to ascend to 5d and become a light being and leave your physical body behind. Only New Agers do that. I have never heard any of them say that kundalini/hatha is the most important thing and you should practice it every day to raise your kundalini and reach Godhood and physical immortality like Satanists do. All religions beside Satanism see the physical body as something bad that needs to be discarded. Satanists don't see it that way, but we recognize it as important and try to preserve it and even make it immortal.
