Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchSthāṇutva (स्थाणुत्व) refers to “motionlessness”, according to the Haṭhapradīpikā of Svātmārāma: an influential 15th-century Sanskrit manual on Hatha-Yoga dealing with techniques to channel one’s vital energy.—Accordingly, “When the breath is moving, the mind is moving. When [the breath] is still, [the mind] is still and the Yogin attains motionlessness (sthāṇutva). Therefore, he should stop the breath”.
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).
