Source: archive.org: Yoga Tradition of the Mysore PalaceUḍḍānāsana (उड्डानासन) is a type of posture (āsana), according to verse 119 of the Śrītattvanidhi.—Accordingly, “Bind the two hands together. Hop in and out leaping beyond the body. This is uḍḍānāsana, the flying-up āsana”.
The 19th-century Śrītattvanidhi is a sanskrit treatise describing 80 primary āsanas, or ‘posture’ and several additional ones (e.g., uḍḍāna-āsana).
This movement is very similar to movements used by the wrestlers.
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).
