Yoga

योग · yoga

discipline; union; a method of practice

From a root meaning 'to yoke'. In the Gita yoga is not physical postures. It is any discipline that harnesses the mind and joins a person to what is highest. Krishna defines it in several ways: as evenness of mind, as skill in action, and as separation from contact with suffering. Each chapter is traditionally titled a yoga.
