In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Īśita (ईशित) is a Sanskrit word referring to the “ability to rule over others”, as described in the Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali.
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).
