In Hinduism
Shiksha (linguistics: phonetics, phonology etc.)
: Knowledge Traditions & Practices of India: Language and Grammar (shiksha)岵 (जिह्वाग्�) is produced from the “tip of the tongue� (for cerebral and dental articulation) and represents on of the four articulators.—According to Indian linguistic tradition (viz., śṣ�, ‘phonetics�, ⲹ첹ṇa, ‘grammar�, nirukta, etymology� and chandas, ‘prosody�.), the articulators (active) are classified as four (e.g., ᾱ岵).
Shiksha (शिक्षा, śṣ�) deals with Sanskrit linguistics and represents a branch of vedanga (vedic ancillary science). Shiksha deals with subjects such as phonetics, phonology, study of sound, letters of the Sanskrit alphabet and related topics. Much attention is also given to the study of recitation (patha) of Vedic verses.
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch岵 (जिह्वाग्�) refers to the “tip of one’s tongue�, according to the Mataṅgapārameśvaratantra (Mataṅgapārameśvara’s Yogapāda) verse 2.23-27.—Accordingly, while discussing ancillary and seated poses in Yoga: “[...] His head should always be upright. His gaze is towards heaven and earth, and its support is the tip of the nose. His eyes are slightly closed and he does not touch the teeth [of the upper jaw] with those [of the lower, nor] with the tip of his tongue (ᾱ岵) which is located on the middle of the palate. O great sage, [this] Karaṇa has been explained fully and at length in regard to the path of Yoga�.

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).
