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).
Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)
: Himalayan Academy: Dancing with Siva贬补峁环补测辞驳补 (啶灌啶啶�, 鈥渇orceful yoga鈥�) is a system of physical and mental exercise developed in ancient times as a means of rejuvenation by 峁涐梗颈蝉 and tapasvins who meditated for long hours, and used today in preparing the body and mind for meditation.
Its elements are:
- postures (腻蝉补苍补),
- cleansing practices (dhauti or shodhana),
- breath control (辫谤腻峁嚹乱腻尘补),
- locks (bandha, which temporarily restrict local flows of 辫谤腻峁嘺),
- hand gestures (尘耻诲谤腻),
All of which regulate the flow of 辫谤腻峁嘺 and purify the inner and outer bodies. Ha峁環a-yoga is broadly practiced in many traditions. It is the third limb (补峁単补) of Patanjali鈥檚 谤腻箩补-测辞驳补. It is integral to the 艢aiva and 艢膩kta-tantra traditions, and part of modern 腻测耻谤惫别诲补 treatment.
Shaiva (啶多啶�, 艣aiva) or Shaivism (艣aivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)

Vaishnava (啶掂啶粪啶｀さ, vai峁ａ箛ava) or vaishnavism (vai峁ａ箛avism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (鈥榯en avatars of Vishnu鈥�).
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
: Notices of Sanskrit Manuscripts: Volume 12 (1898) (shak)贬补峁环补测辞驳补 (啶灌啶啶�) refers to one of the topics discussed in the 搁耻诲谤补测腻尘补濒补迟补苍迟谤补, a Sanskrit manuscript collected in volume 1 of the catalogue 鈥淣otices of Sanskrit Manuscripts (first series)鈥� by Rajendralal Mitra (1822鈥�1891), who was one of the first English-writing historians dealing with Indian culture and heritage.鈥� The Rudray膩mala-tantra is an elaborate and original Tantra, including the whole range of 艢膩kta knowledge about religion, social orders, castes, sacred places, modes of adoration, forms of ceremonies, etc. It contains roughly 9,000 verses divided into 67 sections.鈥擳he catalogue includes the term鈥擧a峁璦yoga in its 鈥榮ubject-matter list鈥� or Vi峁ya (which lists topics, chapters and technical terms). The complete entry reads鈥擺chapter 55: 丑补峁璦测辞驳补办补迟丑补苍补峁�].
Shakta (啶多ぞ啶曕啶�, 艣膩kta) or Shaktism (艣膩ktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.
In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
: Brill: 艢aivism and the Tantric Traditions (tantric Buddhism)贬补峁环补测辞驳补 (啶灌啶啶�) refers to a type of Yoga, according to the Vimalaprabh膩: an eleventh-century commentary on the K膩lacakratantra.鈥擳he Vimalaprabh膩 explains the term 丑补峁环补测辞驳补 as the name of a type of yoga that forces 辫谤腻峁嘺 (鈥榲itality鈥�) into the central channel through a practice involving 苍腻诲补 (鈥榠nternal resonance鈥�) and retention of bindu (鈥榞enerative fluids鈥�).
Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha鈥檚 words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (惫补箩谤补测腻苍补) are collected indepently.
