yogaś citta-vrtti-nirodhah

Yoga is restraining the activity of the mind. 

What, exactly, is Yoga? That is the logical question that follows the introductory sūtra. Here, in the second sūtra, Yoga is defined as stilling our mental and emotional activity, so that we can know ourselves as the Self, as Awareness. One way that Yoga helps us do this is through concentration and meditation: picking a point, such as the gold dot in this painting, and keeping the attention going to that point.
