"When one meets Krsna directly, that is called yoga"

Sri Caitanya-caritamrta

CC Madhya-lila

When one meets Kṛṣṇa directly, that is called yoga.

“There are two divisions of each of the five mellows—yoga [connection] and viyoga [separation]. Among the mellows of friendship and parental affection, there are many divisions of connection and separation.

“Learned scholars in the science of bhakti-yoga say that when there is an absence of association with the Supreme Personality of Godhead, separation takes place. In the stage of ayoga (separation), the mind is filled with Kṛṣṇa consciousness and is fully absorbed in thoughts of Kṛṣṇa. In that stage, the devotee searches out the transcendental qualities of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. It is said that in that stage of separation, all the devotees in the different mellows are always active in thinking of ways to attain Kṛṣṇa’s association.”The word yoga (“connection”) is thus described in the Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu (3.2.129):

kṛṣṇena saṅgamo yas tu
sa yoga iti kīrtyate

When one meets Kṛṣṇa directly, that is called yoga.”

In the transcendental mellows of neutrality and servitorship, there are similar divisions of yoga and viyoga, but they are not variegated. The divisions of yoga and viyoga are always existing in the five mellows. However, in the transcendental mellows of friendship and parental affection, there are many varieties of yoga and viyoga.
