Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchMūlānvita (मूलान्वित) refers to “that (place) which has root vegetables”, according to the Yogayājñavalkya.—The Amanaska’s description of the ideal place in which to practise Yoga is based on four standard characteristics; it should be isolated, solitary, clean and beautiful. Similar descriptions are found in Tantric traditions. [...] The themes of isolation, solitude, cleanliness and beauty are also found in many yoga texts which postdate the Amanaska’s second chapter. For example, Yogayājñavalkya 1.32: “[The forest-dweller] should perform the sacrificial rites in fire according to the [Vedic] injunctions [and dwell] with or without his wife in a remote place in a forest which has fruit, root vegetables (mūlānvita) and water [phalamūlodakānvite]”.
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).
