In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchĀṛśaṃsⲹ (आनृशंस्य) refers to one of the ten Yamas (disciplines) prescribed for forest dwelling, as mentioned in the Vaikhnasasmrtasūtra.—The Mnasollsa verse 9.21-24ab lists thirty Yamas and Niyamas. The Vaikhnasasmrtasūtra (8.4), whose date has been estimated between the fourth and eighth centuries, is the earliest source for a list of twenty Yamas and Niyamas [e.g., ṛśaṃsⲹ]. These were prescribed to a sage at the forest dwelling (ś) stage of life.

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 sanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
