Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchThe Perineum is denoted by the Sanskrit term Yonimudrā, according to the Śivasaṃhitā 4.97.—Accordingly, “When his semen moves, the Yogi should restrain it with Yonimudrā (perineum). This is called Sahajolī and is kept secret in all the Tantras”.
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).
