Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchSaṅkalpavilaya (सङ्कल्पविलय) refers to “dissolving the volitions”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] Whenever volition dissolves (saṅkalpavilaya) through constant practice, then the true abandonment of action arises for the Yogin. One should reveal this teaching [only] to those superior students [who are] restrained, clever, constantly desiring liberation and have confidence [in the efficacy of this path]. [...]”.
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).
