In Hinduism
Yoga (school of philosophy)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchԲ (निर्वासन) refers to �(being) without habitual tendencies�, according to verse 6.21.14 of the Mokṣopāya.—Accordingly, as Bhuśuṇḍa said to Vasiṣṭha: “When mundane activity in the usual state of the world has fallen [into disarray] at the end of [the world's] duration, then I leave my nest like an ungrateful person [leaves] a good friend. I remain in the ether, all my conceptual thinking has disappeared, and my constitution and body are immobilized so that my mind is without habitual tendencies (ԾԲ). [...�.

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).
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
: Wikisource: Ashtavakra GitaԲ (निर्वासन) refers to “becoming free from inclinations� (after realizing the illusory nature of the world�ś), according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] Realising, ‘I am not the body, nor is the body mine. I am awareness�, one attains the supreme state and no longer remembers things done or undone. Realising, ‘It is just me, from Brahma down to the last clump of grass�, one becomes free from uncertainty, pure, at peace and unconcerned about what has been attained or not. Realising that all this varied and wonderful world is nothing, one becomes pure receptivity, free from inclinations (ԾԲ), and as if nothing existed, one finds peace [ԾԲ� sphūrtimātro na kiñcidiva śāmyati�.

Vedanta (वेदान्�, vedānta) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. There are a number of sub-schools of Vedanta, however all of them expound on the basic teaching of the ultimate reality (brahman) and liberation (moksha) of the individual soul (atman).
