योगश्चित्तवृत्तिनिरोधः ॥२॥

yogaś-citta-vṛtti-nirodhaḥ ॥2॥

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:

  1. the sense or objective consciousness,
  2. the subjective or astral consciousness, and
  3. the unconsciousness or mental state of dormant potentiality
