Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchAbhyantaraceṣṭā (अभ्यन्तरचेष्टा) refers to “internal movement”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [The Yogin] whose whole body is held relaxed, [even] up to the tip of his toenails and the tuft of hair on the crown of his head, is free from all thoughts and movement, both externally and internally (abhyantaraceṣṭā) [sa bāhyābhyantare sarvacintāceṣṭāvivarjitaḥ]. [...]”.
Yoga is originally considered a branch of Hindu philosophy (astika), but both ancient and modern Yoga combine the physical, mental and spiritual. Yoga teaches various physical techniques also known as āsanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
