What is dharana? Is dharana a type of yoga or maybe a yoga position?

Comment #1 Trina (63.176.159.250) -

Dhāraṇā (from Sanskrit dhāraṇā) is translated as 'collection or concentration of the mind (joined with the retention of breath)', or 'the act of holding, bearing, wearing, supporting, maintaining, retaining, keeping back , a good memory', or 'firmness, certainty'. This term is related to the verbal root dhri to hold, carry, maintain, resolve.
Dhāraṇā is the sixth stage, step or limb of eight elucidated by Patanjali's Ashtanga Yoga or Raja Yoga. For a detailed account of the Eight Limbs, refer to the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.
Dhāraṇā may be translated as "holding", "holding steady", "concentration" or "single focus".
