definitions of yoga

yoga is the balancing of opposing forces...is the union of opposites

'yogash karmashu kaushalam'..yoga is skill in action. ( Baghavad Gita 2.50)

'samattwan yoga uchyate'...yoga is evenness of mind (Baghavad Gita 2.48)

'yogashchitta vritti nirodhah'..is the blocking of patterns of consciousness ( Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, ch1, sutra 2) or some say the cessation of mental fluctuations
