Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchThe Cycle of Rebirth is denoted by the Sanskrit term Saṃsāra, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] When the mind is moving, the cycle of rebirth [prevails]. When [the mind] is not moving, liberation arises. Therefore, [the Yogin] makes his mind steady; he is devoted to [the practice of complete] detachment. [...]”.
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).
