In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchThe Stable (semen) is denoted by the Sanskrit term Sthairya, according to the Ha峁環aprad墨pik膩 of Sv膩tm膩r膩ma: an influential 15th-century Sanskrit manual on Hatha-Yoga dealing with techniques to channel one鈥檚 vital energy.鈥擜ccordingly, while discussing the retention of semen: 鈥淲hen there is steadiness of the mind, the breath is steady. Because of this, semen becomes stable (sthira). Because of the stability of semen, there is always strength [and so,] stability of the body arises鈥�.
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).
