Here's what the Yoga Sutra by Maharishi Patanjali says about yoga.
योग: चित्त वृत्ति निरोध:
Yoga is restraining the vritti's (activities) of the chitta (personality complex) (Chapter 1: Samadhi Pad - Sutra 2)
Our mind constantly seeks something to occupy itself with, generating new thoughts all the time. Yoga is the restraint of these activities, the attainment of samadhi according to Maharishi Patanjali.
