In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
Yogayājñavalkya (योगयाज्ञवल्क्य) is the name of a text dealing with Yoga.—The Yogacintāmaṇi cites various sources (dealing with āsana, diet and prāṇāyāma), e.g, the Haṭhapradīpikā and the Dattātreyayogaśāstra, the Yogayājñavalkya, the Dharmaputrikā, the Pavanayogasaṅgraha, the Āgneyapurāṇa and the Mataṅgapārameśvaratantra. Therefore, on the topic of āsana, Godāvaramiśra created a seamless synthesis of haṭhayogic teachings with those of Tantric and Brahmanical sources.
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).

Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
