It reveals the whole of the illustrious Rājayoga [consisting of] the three gazing points, five voids (vyomapañcaka), two Tārakas and so on, after elucidating the Yoga with eight subtle auxiliaries”.
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).
