„The word ‘yoga’ literally means ‘union’.“

— Sadhguru
„Yoga, an ancient but perfect science, deals with the evolution of humanity. This evolution includes all aspects of one's being, from bodily health to self-realization. Yoga means union -- the union of body with consciousness and consciousness with the soul. Yoga cultivates the ways of maintaining a balanced attitude in day-to-day life and endows skill in the performance of one's actions.“
— B.K.S. Iyengar
„The Yoga of action, leading to union with the soul is fiery aspiration, spiritual reading and devotion to Ishvara.“
— Patañjali
„Hang Mortmain," said Will. "And I mean that literally, of course, but also figuratively.“

„Yoga goes beyond the physical motions. The practice of yogasana for the sake of health, to keep fit, or to maintain flexibility is the external practice of yoga.“
— B.K.S. Iyengar
„Now, look, baby, 'Union' is spelled with 5 letters. It is not a four-letter word.“
— Dorothy Parker
