Source: archive.org: Yoga Tradition of the Mysore PalaceHṛjjānusaṃyogāsana (हृज्जानुसंयोगासन) is a type of posture (āsana), according to verse 117 of the Śrītattvanidhi.—Accordingly, “Place the knee in front of one side of the chest. Place the ankle in front of the other. Hold it with the hand. This is hṛjjānusaṃyogāsana, the heart-knee connection āsana”.
The 19th-century Śrītattvanidhi is a sanskrit treatise describing 80 primary āsanas, or ‘posture’ and several additional ones (e.g., hṛd-jānu-saṃyoga-āsana).
This āsana name is not found in Iyengar. The form or movement is used as a preliminary for loosening the hip for padmāsana.
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).
