Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchSlowly (drawing or exhaling breath) is denoted by the Sanskrit term Śana, and is part of various Yogic exercises, according to the Dattātreyayogaśāstra verse 35-38ab.—Accordingly, while describing the lotus pose (padmāsana): “[...] Having lifted the uvula with the tongue; having fixed the chin on the chest and having drawn in the breath slowly (śana) according to his capacity, he should fill [the region of] the stomach. After that, he should exhale the breath slowly (śana) according to his capacity. This is said to be padmāsana, which destroys all diseases”.
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).
