In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchŚīlavṛtta (शीलवृत्त) refers to “virtuous conduct”, according to the Yogayājñavalkya 2.8-10ab.—Accordingly, while discussing the study of the Upaniṣads and the Purāṇas: “[In the case of Brahmins,] the wise say that the study of philosophy, [which is the sixth Niyama in this yoga system,] is the study of the Upaniṣads. Like Brahmins, they prescribe the study of [the same] philosophy for Kṣatriyas. And †...† for good Vaiśyas, possessed of virtuous conduct (śīlavṛttavat), as well as [those] Śūdras, women and ascetics who maintain their religious duties, the wise say that the study of philosophy is the study of the Purāṇas”.
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).

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
