The meaning of the word "Yoga" is "union". It is derived from the Sanskrit root "yuj," (pron. "yug") meaning "to join", "to unite" but also "to subjugate", with the meaning also "to control" and "to disciplinate". The English word "yoke" is also derived from the same Sanskrit (Indo-European) root.
In the practice Yoga has many shades of meaning, including union, integration, discipline, way, behavior.
In the Bhagavad-Gita yoga is also defined as "skill in action" and "moderation in everything" (avoidance of excesses).
The most famous definition of Yoga is in the Yoga Sutra, the ancient text attributed to the sage Patanjali: Yogas Citta Vrtti Nirodhah, "Yoga is the restraint of the agitation of thoughts".
