YOGA in broad terms is a way of life and not just physical exercises...It is a family of ancient spiritual practices dating back more than 5000 years from India. It is one of the six schools of Hindu philosophy. In India, Yoga is seen as a means to both physiological and spiritual mastery. Outside India, Yoga has become primarily associated with the practice of asanas (postures) of Hatha Yoga (see Yoga as exercise).
Yoga as a means of spiritual attainment is central to Hinduism (including Vedanta), Buddhism and Jainism and has influenced other religious and spiritual practices throughout the world. Hindu texts establishing the basis for yoga include the Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the Hatha Yoga Pradipika and many others.
The four main paths of Yoga are Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Bhakti Yoga and Raja Yoga. A committed practitioner of yoga is referred to as a yogi, yogin (masculine), or yogini (feminine).

Yoga is called as 'yog' in hindi or sanskrit which has it's unique meaning of addition of two variables.
so, it is up to you what you understand by variables....
you can assume as numbers like 2 and 5
you can assume as body and soul....
you can assume as soul and almighty too...
but, yog is just a process of addition of two variables in which you have to think about your variables and then make out the process for there addition....or 'yog'
cheers:)
