In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)

The 19th-century 艢谤墨迟补迟迟惫补苍颈诲丑颈 is a sanskrit treatise describing 80 primary 腻蝉补苍补s, or 鈥榩osture鈥� (e.g., 诲补峁囜笉补-腻蝉补苍补) and several additional ones.
This form (with the rope) is not found but there is an 腻蝉补苍补 called da峁囜笉腻蝉补苍补 in Iyengar that is different from this. There are many variations of the da峁囜笉腻蝉补苍补 and the one where the body is held in the same position is called catura峁単ada峁囜笉腻蝉补苍补. The 惫测腻测腻尘补 exercises have a series involving the 蝉奴谤测补苍补尘补蝉办腻谤补 movements (one of which is similar to this) that is popularly called the 诲补峁囜笉补 exercises.
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 腻蝉补苍补s (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
