: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchThe Departure (of the breath) is denoted by the Sanskrit term Ni峁r膩nti, according to the Vivekam膩rta峁囜笉a 94ab-95.鈥擜ccordingly, while discussing the connection between mind and breath: 鈥淪o long as the breath is held in the body, then the mind is supportless [in meditation ...]. So long as the breath is in the body, the soul is not released [from it]. The [breath鈥檚] departure (苍颈峁谤腻苍迟颈) is death. Therefore, one should restrain the breath [in the body]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).
