In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Yantraṇa (यन्त्रण) refers to “(systems of) discipline”, according to Kṣemarāja’s Pratyabhijñāhṛdaya.—Accordingly, while discussing easy methods of Yoga practice: “However, another means is also taught. Because of the removal of all systems of discipline (yantraṇa) such as Prāṇāyāma, Mudrās and Bandhas, [this] is an easy method. One whose mind is fixed on the heart by the prescribed method quells thought, which is an obstruction to [cognizing] one's [true] condition. [...]”.
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).
