Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchJayopāya (जयोपाय) refers to the “means to the conquest”, according to the Yogabīja 80.—Accordingly, while discussing the connection between mind and breath: “The mind cannot be subdued by contemplations of various sorts. Therefore, the breath alone is the means to the conquest (jayopāya) of it. There is no other way”.
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).
