The Goddess spoke:

The goal of Yoga is not found in the heavens, nor on earth, nor in the underworld.
But in the union of the individual soul and the Supreme self; thus, do skilled adepts define Yoga.
Impeding the practice of Yoga are the obstacles said to be six.
They are designated as desire and anger, greed and delusion, arrogance and jealousy.
Adept yogis us the limbs of Yoga to break through these obstacles and to reach the goal of union.
Restraint and observance, followed by posture, breath control.
Withdrawing the senses, concentration, meditation and finally absorption—
These they say are the eight limbs practiced by adepts in pursuing Yoga.
