In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (yoga)ҳṭaٳDz (घटस्थयोग) is the name of a type of Yoga defined in the Gheraṇḍasaṃhitā.—The Haṭhayogasaṃhitā appears to have been the basis of the Gheraṇḍasaṃhitā (eighteenth century), which adds a new frame story (viz., a dialogue between the teacher Gheraṇḍa and a student Caṇḍakāpāli), several elaborate visualization practices and a six-fold Rājayoga. The Gheraṇḍasaṃhitā calls its Yoga ṭaٳDz, omits the Haṭhayogasaṃhitā’s teachings on DZī and redefines this ܻ as a handstand, thus revealing a reluctance to adopt the transgressive practices of Haṭhayoga.

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).
