Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchAn Explanation (of a particular Yoga practice) is denoted by the Sanskrit term Nirūpaṇa, according to the 17th century Yogacintāmaṇi by Śivānanda: a large compilation of roughly 3423 verses dealing with the various methods of (Haṭha) Yoga and Aṣṭāṅgayoga.—Accordingly, “Also in the Layakhaṇḍa, a sequence of Siddhis is taught following an explanation (nirūpaṇa) of the practice of Samādhi. [This sequence of Siddhis is taught] according to progress in the practice of [Samādhi]”.
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).
