Yoga (school of philosophy)
Source: Wisdom Library: YogaUttānāsana (उत्तानासन, “forward stretch”) is a Sanskrit word referring to a type of posture (āsana) used in Yoga. It is composed of the words uttāna (stretched) and āsana (posture).
Source: archive.org: Yoga Tradition of the Mysore PalaceUttānāsana (उत्तानासन) is a type of posture (āsana), according to verse 2 of the Śrītattvanidhi.—Accordingly, “Having made the body like a corpse, keep the knees together and bring them up to the navel. Wrap the arms around the neck and rock back and forth. This is uttānāsana, facing-up āsana”.
The 19th-century Śrītattvanidhi is a sanskrit treatise describing 80 primary āsanas, or ‘posture’ (e.g., uttāna-āsana) and several additional ones.
Iyengar has an uttānāsana which is quite different from this. He has nothing taking this form.
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).
