Yoga Sutra 1.2 offers one of the clearest definitions of yoga:

“Yogaś citta-vṛtti-nirodhaḥ.”
Yoga is the stilling of the fluctuations of the mind.

Let’s break it down:
Yoga - union, integration, a state of inner connection.
Citta - the mind (including our thoughts, memories, emotions, and perceptions).
Vṛtti - the movements or fluctuations of the mind (the stories, worries, judgments, plans, and distractions constantly passing through).
Nirodhaḥ - stilling, quieting, or allowing those fluctuations to settle.

The sutra isn’t necessarily asking us to stop thinking. Instead, it points toward a practice of becoming less entangled with every thought that arises.

Through yoga, we learn to notice the movement of the mind without being carried away by it. We create a little more space between awareness and thought.

Yoga is the practice of returning to presence.

Save this for the next time your mind feels especially busy. 🤎
