In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchSūkṣmadeha (सूक्ष्मदेह) refers to the “subtle body”, according to Aghoraśivācārya’s commentary on the Mṛgendratantra (Vidyāpāda 10.2).—Accordingly, [while describing dehasiddhyartha]: “The meaning is for the sake of attaining a subtle body (sūkṣmadeha) whose nature is the thirty reality-levels beginning with the products and instruments, and not for the sake of attaining a body derived from the worlds”.
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).
