In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchվñԲ (विज्ञानवत्) refers to “one who has discerned (the supreme Brahma)� (as opposed to AñԲ), according to the Kaṭhopaniṣat 3.7-8.—Accordingly, while describing the metaphor of the Self (ٳ) as the owner of the chariot: “[That charioteer] who has not discerned [the supreme Brahma] (ñԲ), who is mindless [of it] and constantly impure, he does not obtain that [supreme] state and goes [on living in] the cycle of life and death. However, the one who has discerned [the supreme Brahma] (ñԲ) , who is mindful [of it] and constantly pure, goes to the [supreme] state from which he is not born again [into the cycle of life and death�.

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).
