I need help with the yoga words?

Im doing a gym project and what is the starting position like when you clap together you hand and bring it down

whats the term for that?

and whats the exact def. for yoga?

Am not clear what you may be asking, so will make a best guess.

There is no Hatha yoga I'm aware of where you regularly clap hands, so am wondering if you just mean when the hands are placed together much like done when praying.
In yoga language (Sanskrit) this would be called Anjali mudra.

You can do Anjali mudra with arms fully straightened over the head, even behind the back, but perhaps most commonly the hands are at the level of the heart.
In Tibetan Buddhism, a common sequence is to hold the hands at the forehead, then throat, then heart, to symbolize purity of mind, speech, and body.

The Sanskrit word "yoga" has many meanings, and is derived from the Sanskrit root "yuj", meaning "to control", "to yoke" or "to unite". Translations include "joining", "uniting", "union", "conjunction", and "means".
Outside India, the term yoga is typically associated with Hatha Yoga and its asanas (postures) or as a form of exercise.
