Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: Wisdom Library: YogaFrom the Haṭha Yogha Pradīpikā (chapter III): “Sahajolī and Amarolī are only the different kinds of Vajrolī. Ashes from burnt up cowdung should be mixed with water.� (śl. 92) and “Being free from the exercise of Vajrolī, man and woman should both rub it on their bodies.� (śl. 93) and “This is called Sahajolī, and should be relied on by Yogīs. It does good and gives mokṣa.� (śl. 94)
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchSahajolī (सहजोली) is the name of a Mudrā, according to the Amaraughaprabodha: a short 13th century treatise on Yoga attributed to Gorakṣanātha which teaches the fourfold system of yoga (Mantra, Laya, Haṭha and Rāja).—Accordingly, “Some drink urine, their own impurity. Some eat their saliva as food. Some draw up [their] semen that falls from a woman’s vagina after having penetrated [her]. And some who are skilled in circulating the breath through the channels of the entire body, consume ٳܲ. They do not have mastery of the body without [the state of] Rājayoga, in which their minds are absent. When the mind has attained equanimity and the breath moves into the central channel, [then] these Amarolī, Vajrolī and Sahajolī [Mudras] arise�.

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).
