Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchMokṣarūpa (मोक्षरूप) refers to the “form of liberation”, according to Brahmānanda’s Jyotsnā 1.11.—Accordingly, “Even though in statements of the Purāṇas such as: ‘[For the purification of] Brahmins [and so on...]’, qualification for [the practice] of Yoga is obtained for the whole [gamut] of living beings [including worms and insects], nonetheless it is one who is detached who possesses the qualification in regard to yoga that has the reward of liberation (mokṣarūpa). And in the Vāyusaṃhitā [it is said:] ‘When the vedic teachings have been learnt, the mind is detached from sense objects. The qualification for anyone in this yoga is nothing else whatsoever’”.
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).
