: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchThe Flow of the Breath is denoted by the Sanskrit term 艢v膩sa-Prav膩ha, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.鈥擜ccordingly, as 莫艣vara says to V膩madeva: 鈥淸...] [Now], I shall define the nature of that highest, mind-free absorption which arises for those devoted to constant practice. [...] By means of an absorption for one breath, the [principal five] bodily winds beginning with Pr膩峁嘺, flow to their own places because of the complete restraint of the flow of the breath (艣惫腻蝉补辫谤补惫腻丑补). [...]鈥�.
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 膩sanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
