In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: Google Books: Yoga PowersIn his Nyāyakaṇḍalī, Śrīdhara provides the conceptual bridge between normal perception, yogi perception, and the power of entering into a foreign body, which was in fact the forte of yogis in epic and medieval narratives.
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).
Vaisheshika (school of philosophy)

Among the commentaries on Padārthadharmasaṃgraha, “Nyāya-Kaṇḍalī of Śrīdhara on account of its simplicity of style and elaborate nature of exposition is probably the best for a modern student of Vaiśeṣika”.
Vaisheshika (वैशेषिक, vaiśeṣika) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. Vaisheshika deals with subjects such as logic, epistemology, philosophy and expounds concepts similar to Buddhism in nature
