Let that be known by the name of Yoga, the severance from union with pain. This Yoga should be practised with determination and with an undesponding mind.

know that to be called yoga: the unyoking from union with sorrow. This yoga should be practised with resolve and with a mind that does not lose heart.

The long sentence reaches its conclusion. This state is to be known as yoga, defined in a striking phrase as duḥkha-saṃyoga-viyoga, the unyoking from union with sorrow. The play on words reverses the usual sense of yoga as joining: true yoga is a disjoining from suffering. Krishna adds that it must be practised with firm resolve and a mind that does not grow weary or discouraged. The verse gives both a definition and a warning: the path is real but asks for patient, steady effort.
