Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchCaturviṃśatidina (चतुर्विंशतिदिन) (or Caturviṃśativāsara) refers to the “time period of twenty-four days”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [Now], I shall define the nature of that highest, mind-free absorption which arises for those devoted to constant practice. [...] The Yogin who has become absorbed in the highest reality for twenty-four days (caturviṃśativāsara), has the Siddhi [called] Prākāmya, by which he obtains what he desires. [...]”.
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).
