What is Yoga?

Yoga citta vritti nirodha : Through yoga you learn to control the waves in your mind.

Yoga - “To tie the strands of the mind together; to come together; to unite.” - Desikachar
citta - mind (according to modern psychology)
vritti - thought waves; a wave on the mind-lake.

“Mind is like a lake, and thought the waves.” Swami Vishnu Devananda
nirodha - to restrict. Both the process of restriction and the state of restrictedness.
- Georg Feuerstein
