The Patanjali's yoga sutra starts with "Atha yoganushasanam" might be deciphered as "yoga is a discipline" the second sutra says "yogaschitha vritti nirodhayath" which means "yoga is the process of stopping the turbulence so of the mind" one's mind experiences ups and downs based on the experiences outside him.
