Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchKulācārarata (कुलाचाररत) refers to “those devoted to the practices prescribed by the Kula tradition”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] O sage, there are many gurus who are devoted to the practices [prescribed] by the Kula tradition (kulācārarata). Indeed, the guru who has transcended these practices is unique and hard to find. Just as fruit manifests from a flower [and in so doing,] is the destroyer of the flower, so the highest reality manifests from the body [and in so doing,] is the destroyer of the body. [...]”.
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).
