Thus, this Kaula [knowledge] has not been taught in the innumerable Brahmanical and Śaiva scriptures (śāstrāgama-koṭi)”.
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).
