Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchClever students are denoted by the Sanskrit term Kuśala, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] One should reveal this teaching [only] to those superior students [who are] restrained, clever (ś), constantly desiring liberation and have confidence [in the efficacy of this path. This teaching must be studied always with diligence by those desirous of liberation. By merely keeping it [in mind], the highest reality manifests naturally. [...]�.

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).
