In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch貹śDz (अस्पर्शयोग) refers to the “yoga of ‘no-contact’�.—In the Gauḍapāda’s Māṇḍūkyopaniṣatkārikā verse 3.39 on the yoga of ‘no-contact� (貹śDz), the Yogin is advised to restrain his mind when it is distracted by enjoyments and desire (峾), and also when it is serene in sleep (laya). For, in Gauḍapāda’s view, just as desire is unprofitable so too is sleep.

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).
