In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchVṛkṣanirmukta (वृक्षनिर्मुक्त) refers to “that place which is free of trees” (and thus suitable for Yoga practice), according to the Sarvajñānottara.—The Amanaska’s description of the ideal place in which to practise Yoga is based on four standard characteristics; it should be isolated, solitary, clean and beautiful. Similar descriptions are found in Tantric traditions which predate the Amanaska’s second chapter as well as in the yoga traditions which followed it. For example, in the Sarvajñānottara (25.2-3), the Mantrin collects the cow dung for his bath of ashes and leaves it to dry on a wall in an isolated, solitary and beautiful place, which is free of strife, trees (vṛkṣanirmukta) and ant-hills [vṛkṣavālmīkanirmukte].
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).
