Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (yoga)Vastideśa (वस्तिदेश) refers to the “region of the stomach”, according to the Amṛtasiddhi, a 12th-century text belonging to the Haṭhayoga textual tradition.—Accordingly, “Endowed with ten digits, in the middle of the sphere of the sun in the region of the stomach (vastideśa) dwells fire, which digests food. Fire is the sun; the sun is fire. The two look almost the same [but] differ subtly”.
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).
