Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchVaiṣṇavamantra (वैष्णवमन्त्र) refers to a “Vaiṣṇava mantra”, according to the Yogayājñvalkya 6.12, 16-6.19ab.—Accordingly, while discussing that yoga was practised by all four castes and women: “[...] [For [all those] Vaiśyas, women, Śūdras and ascetics who perform their religious duties, a mantra without oṃ [is prescribed] in Prāṇāyāma, O Gārgi. [For in their case,] the wise recommend either a Śaiva or Vaiṣṇava mantra [i.e., vaiṣṇavamantra—śivamantraṃ vā vaiṣṇavaṃ] ending in namaḥ. Otherwise, a Śūdra as well as a woman should practise with a non-Vedic [mantra] prescribed earlier, and they should repeat [it] forty times in Prāṇāyāma. Śūdras should not repeat a Vedic mantra and women should never [do so]”.
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).
