Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchWise Persons are denoted by the Sanskrit term Vidvas, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] That wise person (vidvas) in whom the bliss of the natural [no-mind state] has emerged, who is naturally devoted to constant practice and who has completely freed [himself] of all volition, [certainly] frees [himself] from [all] action. [...]”.
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).
