Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchAbhyāsaniyoga (अभ्यासनियोग) refers to “adherence to practice”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [These] four states of mind should be known by the wise: disintegrated, coming and going, integrated and absorbed. [...] Therefore, if through adherence to practice (abhyāsaniyoga), [the Yogin] becomes one whose [mind is absorbed] without the support [of any object of meditation], then, having come to have the same flavour [as the no-mind state], he is nothing but supreme bliss. [...]”.
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).
