Yoga Defined

literally, "integration" or "union," from the root word, "yuj," meaning a yoke that unites animals together to combine their strength and control their direction .In Hatha and Tantra Yogas, we use pranayama, kumbhaka, mudra and bandha to combine the vayus (internal energies or pranas) and to direct this combined energy up through the central channel (sushumna nadi) to create a divine union (Yoga).This is why the breathing is so important. The purpose is to coax Kundalini shakti up to join with Shiva so we may, in that divine union (maithuna), discover our own essential nature.In Hatha Yoga this can only be done individually, whereas in Tantra Yoga it can also be accomplished through sexual union.

This definition is in context to Classic Yoga. See more contextual defintions for Yoga.
