Yoga is yoking of the power of body, mind and soul. Yoga consists of concentration, meditation and realization. I quote a passage below: "Unlock Your Energies Through Yoga Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev Yoga means to be in perfect tune. When you are in Yoga, your body, mind and spirit, and existence, are in absolute harmony. Yoga is the science of activating your inner energies in such a way that your body, mind and emotions function at their highest peak. Modern science says that the whole of existence is energy manifesting itself in different ways. If this is so, then you are also a little bit of energy functioning in a particular way. As far as science is concerned, this same energy which you call ‘myself’ can be a rock, mud, tree, dog, or you. Everything is the same energy, functioning at different levels of capability. Similarly among human beings, though we are all made of the same energy, we still do not function at the same level of capability. This energy in one plant if functions to create roses, in another it functions to create jasmine, but it is the same energy manifesting itself. Once you activate your inner energies, your capabilities happen in a different sphere altogether, Yoga is a tool to find ultimate expression to life.
