Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection I (yoga)Gorakhabodha (गोरखबोध) is the name of a work classified as Medieval Hindi literature.—The Gorakhabodha (in Old Hindi) is included in the collection of manuscripts at the ‘Vincenzo Joppi’ library, collected by Luigi Pio Tessitori during his visit to Rajasthan between 1914 and 1919.—The Gorakhbodh, a work written in an old form of Hindi and reported to date from the 14th century. The work is in rhymed prose, sixty stanzas in all, and is in the form of a conversation between Gorakhnāth and his Guru Machchendranāth, the stanzas being a question and an answer alternately. Unfortunately the extreme conciseness and difficulty of the text and particular character of the exposition make this source only partially utilizable.
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).
