Having attained the further shore of the universe in a pure state at the end of the elements, I remain because of the immovable state of my deep [meditative] sleep, until Brahmā is again intent upon the act of creation. Then, having entered the universe, I remain in the sky. [...]�.

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).
