Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchUpaśāntida (उपशान्तिद) refers to “that which bestows peace”, according to the Mokṣopāya (verse 5.54.4-5, 9 and 16).—Accordingly, “[...] Now, when there was occasion (avasara) [to articulate] the next part of Om for the same duration, [that] method of [controlling] the vital airs was named the motionless [retention, i.e.,] Kumbhaka... Then, when there was occasion [to articulate] the third [part] of Om, which bestows peace (upaśāntida), [that] method [of controlling] the vital airs was named Pūraka because [it] fills [the body with the vitals airs]”.
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).
