When the lords of the mountains have been pulverized and the winds of the dissolution (pralayavāyu) blow, then, having performed concentration on the earth element, I remain unmoving in the ether. [...]”.
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).
