<blockquote>
योगश्चित्तवृत्तिनिरोधः ॥२॥

yogaś-citta-vṛtti-nirodhaḥ ॥2॥
</blockquote>

''yogah'':yoga; ''citta'':thoughts, consciousness; ''vṛtti'':thought wave or mental modifications; ''nirodhaḥ'':to control, blocking

:'''To block the mental modifications is yoga.'''

To control your awareness, or be in a higher consciousness level is yoga.

Chitta or consciousness has three stages:
#the sense or objective consciousness,
#the subjective or astral consciousness, and
#the unconsciousness or mental state of dormant potentiality
