Patanjali defined yoga as "Chitta Vritti Nirodha", which means that if you can still the modifications and activity of the mind, you are in yoga. 

This chant, an excerpt from Patanjali’s yoga sutras is composed and sung by Sounds of Isha. 
#InternationalYogaDay

Yoga
Your face is hard,
they think you are a loveless wench
To me you are like a lover’s song
gentle as the spring breeze
Like a mango tree in full bloom
every leaf hides a delicious fruit

Such bare and scarce ways
did your progenitor describe you:
folks would never know
the luscious lass that you are

Clothed in rough and common raiment,
who could dream
of the uncommon possibility
that you are

I espied and pursued you
with a stout heart

Waiting and wooing
for lifetimes three

Trailing you through terrain unknown
of untold pain and sweetness too
The very journey has left me so complete—
the creation and creator are within me

Can no more see the world without you
-Sadhguru

Lyrics and Meaning: 

योगश्चित्तवृत्तिनिरोधः 
yogaś-citta-vṛtti-nirodhaḥ
Yoga is to still the patterning of consciousness

तदा द्रष्टुः स्वरूपेऽवस्थानम् 
tadā draṣṭuḥ svarūpe-'vasthānam 
Then, pure awareness can abide in its very nature

वृत्ति सारूप्यमितरत्र 
vṛtti sārūpyam-itaratra 
Otherwise, awareness takes itself to be the patterns of consciousness

वृत्तयः पञ्चतय्यः क्लिष्टाक्लिष्टाः 
vṛttayaḥ pañcatayyaḥ kliṣṭākliṣṭāḥ
There are five types of patterns, including both hurtful and benign

प्रमाण विपर्यय विकल्प निद्रा स्मृतयः 
pramāṇa viparyaya vikalpa nidrā smṛtayaḥ
They are right perception, misperception, conceptualization, deep sleep, and remembering

प्रत्यक्षानुमानागमाः प्रमाणानि 
pratyakṣa-anumāna-āgamāḥ pramāṇāni 
Right perception arises from direct observation, inference, or the words of others

विपर्ययो मिथ्याज्ञानमतद्रूप प्रतिष्ठम् 
viparyayo mithyā-jñānam-atadrūpa pratiṣṭham
Misperception is false knowledge, not based on what actually is

शब्दज्ञानानुपाती वस्तुशून्यो विकल्पः 
śabda-jñāna-anupātī vastu-śūnyo vikalpaḥ 
Conceptualization derives from linguistic knowledge, not contact with real things

अभावप्रत्ययालम्बना तमोवृत्तिर्निद्र 
abhāva-pratyaya-ālambanā tamo-vṛttir-nidra 
Deep sleep is a pattern grounded in the perception that nothing exists

अनुभूतविषयासंप्रमोषः स्मृतिः 
anu-bhūta-viṣaya-asaṁpramoṣaḥ smṛtiḥ 
Remembering is the retention of experiences

अभ्यासवैराग्याभ्यां तन्निरोधः 
abhyāsa-vairāgya-ābhyāṁ tan-nirodhaḥ 
Both practice and non-reaction are required to still the patterning of consciousness

Patanjali Yoga Sutras - A Musical Rendition | International Day of Yoga

Mystics have always used sound in ways far beyond the realm of mere entertainment - by breathing in an ethereal dimension into simple rustic sounds from life around to give us a taste of the beyond. A simple twang of the ektara often did what a thousand words could not do to touch people.

Sounds of Isha is Sadhguru's own home grown, anomalous group of 'musicians' - inspired by their deep yearning and sense of gratitude. Dabbling with and melting into their instruments, their work is a subtle fusion of the rich and diverse beings that they are. The group members are full-time volunteers with Isha Foundation, living a life of dedication and austerity; thus, their inspirational songs are usually created after a full day's activity, due to their passion and zest to share a different dimension of the foundation's work.

Their melodies are a fusion of music from different parts of the world - traversing effortlessly and seamlessly across boundaries and cultures. Whilst the music of these songs sooth our minds and the melodies enthrall us, the true potential of the songs is in their capability to instill in us an element of the eternal silence that touches the core of the human being. The performances of Sounds of Isha are set apart to deliver a potent and intoxicating ethereal concoction, transporting those who listen into subtler states of being - becoming the basis for inner exploration.
