Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchPaśudṛṣṭi (पशुदृष्टि) refers to the “sight of the uninitiated”, according to the Matsyendrasaṃhitā.—The Amanaska’s description of the ideal place in which to practise Yoga is based on four standard characteristics; it should be isolated, solitary, clean and beautiful. Similar descriptions are found in Tantric traditions. [...] In the Matsyendrasaṃhitā (10.2a-b), the location of the Yogin’s initiation ceremony is isolated, free of people and beyond the sight of the uninitiated (paśudṛṣṭi).
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).
