[...] By means of an absorption of six nights, great intelligence (尘补丑腻产耻诲诲丑颈) arises, as a result of which, [the Yogin acquires] knowledge of everything that is beyond analytical thought. [...]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).
