"Jóga" is a song by Björk, and the first single from her 1997 album Homogenic. The chorus has repetition of the phrase "state of emergency" but does not feature the song title: it is a dedication to her close friend Jóhanna Jóhannsdóttir (nicknamed Jóga) and to their homeland Iceland. The music video was directed by Michel Gondry and filmed in Iceland.
The video for "Jóga" is a departure from her other videos as it focuses primarily on different Icelandic terrains with Björk's presence only in the beginning. With the aid of computer animation, earthquakes begin to separate and shift the chunks of land along fault lines. The video ends with a computerized image of Iceland floating inside Björk's chest.
The italian jazz pianist Eric Legnini remade a version of Jóga in his first solo album "Miss Soul", released in April 2006.
