In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Sickness (caused by holding the breath—as a Yogic practice) is denoted by the Sanskrit term Vyādhi, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] What is to be gained by [manipulating] the vital winds, [even when] practised for a long time? [What gained] by the hundreds of [ways] of holding the breath, which cause sickness (vyādhi-prada) and are arduous, and by the many Mudrās, which are painful and difficult to master? You [should] serve continually the one and only guru to obtain that [no-mind state] whose nature is innate, on the arising of which, the breath, mighty [though it is], instantly disappears by itself. [...]”.
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).
