The movements of the V膩yus (Pr膩峁嘺 and Ap膩na) should be stopped by closing the throat.).鈥� (艣l. 26) and 鈥淩esting both the hands equally on the ground, he should raise himself a little and strike his buttocks against the ground gently. The air, leaving both the passages (Id膩 and Pingal膩), starts into the middle one.鈥� (艣l. 27) and 鈥淭he union of the Id膩 and the Pingal膩 is effected, in order to bring about immortality. When the air becomes as it were dead (by leaving its course through the Id膩 and the Pingal膩) (i.e., when it has been kept confined), then it should be expelled.鈥� (艣l. 28)

The first ten vivekas teach the constituents of the yogic body. Vivekas 11鈥�13 teach three methods of manipulating those constituents (e.g., 尘补丑腻惫别诲丑补) and viveka 14 teaches the practice, i.e. how the three methods are to be used together. Vivekas 15鈥�18 teach the four grades of aspirant, 19鈥�33 the four states of yoga, and 34鈥�35 the final transformation of the body leading up to 苍颈谤惫腻峁嘺.
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).
