What is the definition of yoga?

What is yoga? Let's explain "yoga" literally first.

Yoga, as we all know, is a transliteration of Sanskrit "Yoga". The word "yoga" comes from two Sanskrit roots-"Yuji" and "gham". Together, these two roots mean "connected by a yoke". Yoke is a tool for connecting shafts on the necks of cattle and horses. Taking yoke as a metaphor, the following meanings can be extended: continuity, connection, combination, unity, unity and unity, and another meaning of "harmony and unity"

A linguist once compared "yoga" with the English word "Yoke" with similar pronunciation, and found that this word also means "yoke", and its Latin origin also means "connection" and "combination".

"Yoga" is translated into Chinese as "yoga". Yoga is also called "Yoga", and the Chinese pinyin is "Yu Jia".

In Chinese dictionaries, the word "yoga" is used. Literally, "home" and "home" are different, and "home" has only one pronunciation. As for A, Mandarin has two pronunciations: A and Qie, which are usually put in front when used with yoga. In Buddhist scriptures, the second pronunciation "qie" is often used, such as Jia's pronunciation, Lengga Sutra and the earth theory of yoga masters. In a sense, the word "Jia" refers to jewelry worn on a woman's head; However, the word "home" has no independent meaning and is mostly used for translation.
