 note = {The goal of the present research is to investigate how the word yoga is used online in Websites and Blogs by discovering possible patterns in the data and analyzing those patterns. The research method used for the present discussion is corpus-driven. Two corpora were used for this investigation, The Intelligent Web-based Corpus and the Corpus of Global Web-Based English. The first investigation examines the iWeb corpus’ main query page using the WORD search option and offers an overall ‘snapshot’ of information about the search term yoga. The second investigation used the LIST function of the iWeb corpus. A 500-item random sample was chosen for this examination. The third query compares word frequency calculations and Mutual Information (MI) Scores from the GloWbE corpus. The final investigation analyzes data by country in the GloWbE corpus. Collocational and statistical analyses of the term yoga in Web pages and blogs suggests that ten thematic categories  account for the data. They are: 1) philosophy/spiritualism, 2) programs, 3) as a non-specific, general practice, 4) location/company name/website, 5) type or subtype of yoga, 6) specific technique, 7) practitioner, 8) instructor/therapist, 9) retail goods, and 10) brand name of personal computer. The most frequent is ‘yoga as a general, non-specific practice’. This suggests that what yoga is may be assumed to be understood by the audience. Linguistic evidence from Websites and Blogs suggests that the meaning and use of the term yoga is broad and multifarious just as there are types of people with different ways of understanding with different needs and proclivities.},
