What kind of practice it is
Not one thing.
The passage refuses to make yoga a single thing. It works on the body, on the mind and on the spirit together, and it began in ancient India.

The whole idea, one bite at a time
Veda Bites are swipeable micro-lessons — each one teaches exactly one idea. Here's a taste from this kit; the app has the full deck.
Yuj means to join
The name is the lesson.
Yoga comes from a Sanskrit root carrying the sense of joining. Everything the passage says afterwards turns out to be a kind of joining.
Three kinds of unity
Inside, then outward.
Mind with body. Thought with action. Human beings with nature. They widen in scale, from inside one person to the world around them.
Practice and practise
Identical aloud.
The two words sound exactly the same and are spelled differently. Nothing in the sound of them will ever tell you which one you need.
Which spelling is the noun
C is the thing.
The c spelling names the thing itself: a lot of practice, a daily practice. The s spelling is the doing of it.
A way to hold the rule
ICE is a thing.
Practice and advice both end in ice, and ice is something you can point at. Both of those spellings are nouns.

Words at Work: Practice and Practise, Advice and Advise
Two pairs of words that differ by one letter, one of which your ear can settle and one of which it cannot. And a trick that lets the first pair solve the second.
- Practice and practise sound exactly the same and are spelled differently.
- The spelling with a c is the noun, meaning the thing itself.
- The spelling with an s is the verb, meaning to do it repeatedly in order to improve.

Speak, Listen and Write about Yoga
Three ways a listening statement can be false, a group task built so that nobody is left out, and a paragraph with a proper beginning, middle and end.
- The listening task gives seven statements and asks you to find the four that are true.
- A false statement is rarely obviously wrong, or it would be no test at all.
- One kind takes a real number from the passage and attaches it to the wrong thing.
