I think yoga means different things for everyone who practice it , for some it may be a way to exercise the body, stretch it and gain some strenght ,others might want to seek a way to release tension , for others it may have a deeper spiritual meaning.
One may seek a way to let the lifeforce flow in a better way through the body.
I myself have been doing some kundalini yoga some time ago, i was interested by it due to my reading about "kundalini" and i was ( is ) also interesed in transcendental meditation.
My experience off it is that it feels like an energy flows through the body very powerful , a feeling of love, freedom, joy and a connection with everything. Also tickling sensations and pleasant chills though the body, especally during the fire breath exercise.
Maybe some one wants to call it god , another one the lifeforce and the third something else.Its just words. Whatever it is , kundalini and probably other yoga forms intensifies that energy during the practice.
Maybe i start with it again.

in short simple words : yoga is how you live your daily life, you dont have to sit in meditation, you dont have to jap mantra's, you dont have to do anything, but just be comfortable with yourself, be silent and observant, to quiten the chattering of the mind, and become aware of yourself. be aware of what comes out of your mouth,speak with a quiet tone, do right, help others for no reason, spread love and compassion (just because you can), and get in touch with your highest truest divine self.you have been given this life, be all you can be,by dissolving your egoistic desires and your material attatments, with the divine's grace it will manifest itself.

Universal consciousnes: Isn`t that just a construct by spirituals to find followers? Sorry, just a thought. |

The whole idea of yoga for me means being conscious of your body, mind and the surroundings and one does not need to sit in a certain position to bring this about in our daily life. Unless one wants to keep the exercise regime on. I do think the Body is responsible for the mindset one can attain even with food we eat. But to put it simply in equation.
Like minus put >> its a way of life and if the purpose of it understood then even walking on a busy street can be yoga if the mind and body are in that balance. Being Conscious of the planet.
 “What we need is the development of the Inner Spiritual man, the unique individual, whose treasure is hidden in the symbols of our mythological tradition and in man’s unconscious psych.” - CJ Jung |

Veda means Knowledge. This (Vedic) Knowledge put into practice (action) is called Yoga.
This is the defination given in Santana Dharma - Hinduism.

for me Yoga means to unite my physical and inner soul with the divine cosmic force in one union of bliss and happiness leading me to complete awareness and a state of BEING |
