Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchLayalakṣaṇa (लयलक्षण) refers to the “characteristics of laya”, according to the Haṭhapradīpikā 4.34.—Accordingly, “'[People] proclaim, ‘[This] is laya, [that] is laya,’ [but] what are the [essential] characteristics of laya [e.g., layalakṣaṇa]? Laya is the [Yogin’s] forgetting of sense objects because of the absence of [all] mental traces of his former [experiences]”.
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).
