Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchA Healthy Man is denoted by the Sanskrit term Indriya-Puruṣa, according to verses 16-18 of the Kālamānādhyāya in the Madhyamādhikāra of the Vāsanābhāṣya (also known as the Mitākṣarā), an auto-commentary on the twelfth-century Siddhāntaśiromaṇi written by Bhāskara.—Accordingly: “Prāṇa is the time within [which] an inhalation and exhalation of a healthy man (indriyapuruṣa) is performed”.
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).
