The word Yoga means to unite the mind with the divine and manifest the divine within the being. In a manner of speaking it is an entheogenic tradition. However training the spirit, as it were, involves training the body and mind.

Japa Yoga is the use of mantras to train the mind

Natya yoga is the use of Karanas, Mudras and cadence to train the body to make certain motions that can be used in many ways, such as expressively, but even as a martial art.

Hatha yoga is the use of postures and breath to make the body and mind strong as well as do qi-gong like energy work.

Trantric yoga... well, you get the idea.

Neigong energy work like Dao Yin and several other qigong methods are often considered a type of Yoga as well.

Yoga is, in this fashion, not a specific individual practice but is any practice which unifies the practitioner with the divine. Painting could even be a type of Yoga, so can sculpting etc.

In the moderns sense Yoga is Asana or posture training, but even today one can find sacred yoga being practiced in several ways and in numerous cultures.

Here is the link to older definitions of Yoga:

No luck on that page for me. First an apparent lack of SSL though I accepted the risk and continued, and then a 403 forbidden.
