Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchDaśamavarṣa (दशमवर्ष) refers to the “tenth year” (of Yogic breathing exercises), according to the Śivayogadīpikā, an ancient Sanskrit text dealing with Yoga possibly corresponding to the Śivayoga quoted in Śivānanda’s Yogacintāmaṇi.—Accordingly, [while describing a sequence of Haṭhayoga practices]: “Thus, by means of this Haṭhayoga which has eight auxiliaries, those [students who are] life-long celibates obtain the Siddhis of the [best of Sages] because of their untiring practice. [...] In the tenth [year] [e.g., daśamavarṣa], he can move [as fast as] his mind and cheerfully go wherever he wishes. In the eleventh year, he is omniscient and a yogin who possesses the Siddhis. [...]”.
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).
