Kontext

Yes, in this context I was referring to the practice of asanas, meditation & breathwork. Since this text wasn't specifically about yoga, I didn't feel inclined to go further into details about the particularities of the word (although _"an analogy for life"_ kind of eludes to the fact that it's much more than a physical practice).

I really like this excerpt:

>_"Yoga is a particularly polyvalent Sanskrit word, which, in ordinary usage, may signify joining or attaching, a means or method or way, profit or wealth, a trick or deceit, an undertaking or business, mixing, putting together or ordering, suitability, diligence or magic.”_
― “Roots of Yoga” by James Mallinson and Mark Singleton

or this one...

>_“Be steadfast in the performance of your duty, abandoning attachment to success and failure. Such equanimity is called Yoga.”_
― Bhagavad Gita
