Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchEarthen Huts (suitable for Yoga practice) are denoted by the Sanskrit term Bhū-Gṛha, according to the Parākhyatantra.—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. [...] The Parākhyatantra, emphasizes seclusion: “In a lonely place, or a grove, or in an agreeable mountain cave, or in an earthen hut (bhūgṛha) that is thoroughly secluded, free from insects, draught and damp”.
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).
