In Hinduism

Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchManoharadeśa (मनोहरदेश) refers to a “beautiful place” (which is suitable for the practice of Yoga), according to the South-Indian recension of the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] This is [called] Tāraka [yoga] because it causes the Guru and student to cross over the ocean of existence. It is also called Tāraka because its [practice] depends on the flashing [light] of a star. Having obtained such a guru and having settled in a beautiful place (manoharadeśa) [manohare deśe], he who is free from all worry should practice only Yoga”.
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).
