In the classical Astanga system, the ultimate goal is to achieve samadhi and remain in that state as pure awareness.

A disciplined method for attaining a goal
Techniques of controlling the body and mind
A name of a school or system of philosophy (darśana)
With prefixes such as “hatha-, mantra-, and laya-, traditions specialising in particular yoga techniques
The goal of practice[44]
