In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchDharmayukta (धर्मयुक्त) refers to “those who perform their religious duties”, according to the Yogayājñvalkya 6.12, 16-6.19ab.—Accordingly, while discussing that yoga was practised by all four castes and women: “[...] [For [all those] Vaiśyas, women, Śūdras and ascetics who perform their religious duties (dharmayukta), a mantra without oṃ [is prescribed] in Prāṇāyāma, O Gārgi. [For in their case,] the wise recommend either a Śaiva or Vaiṣṇava mantra ending in namaḥ. Otherwise, a Śūdra as well as a woman should practise with a non-Vedic [mantra] prescribed earlier, and they should repeat [it] forty times in Prāṇāyāma. Śūdras should not repeat a Vedic mantra and women should never [do so]”.
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).

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
