In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
The Lap is denoted by the Sanskrit term Aṅka, according to the Parākhyatantra verse 14.8-9.—Accordingly, while discussing preliminary practices to make the Yogin ready to undertake the six auxiliaries of Śaiva yoga: “He should adopt one of these [four poses], placing his hands with the palms arranged [facing upwards] in his own lap (aṅka-gata), expanding his chest evenly. Slightly closing his two eyes, he should focus on the tip of his nose. Remaining thus he is fit for yoga and he should then begin its sequence”.
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).
