Yogatattva
Ang Yogatattva Upanishad (kaugnay ng Krishna Yajurveda) ay isang Upanishad ng yoga na inilalarawan ang yoga bilang landas tungo sa kalayaan, hindi lamang ehersisyong pangkatawan. Binibigyang-diin nito ang pranayama at paglilinis ng mga nadi upang patatagin ang isip at dalisayin ang panloob na kamalayan. Ipinapaliwanag nito ang balangkas ng maselang katawan—ida, pingala, sushumna—at ang paggising/pag-akyat ng kundalini bilang pagbabago ng lakas-buhay tungo sa malinaw na pag-unawa. Ang pratyahara, dharana, dhyana, at samadhi ay inilalatag bilang sunod-sunod na hakbang ng pagtalikod ng kamalayan papaloob. Ang nada (panloob na tunog) at jyotis (panloob na liwanag) ay mga palatandaan ng pag-unlad, hindi ang huling layunin. Ang layunin ay pagwawakas ng avidya, pagsasakatuparan ng Sarili, paglagpas sa dualidad, at jivanmukti (kalayaan habang nabubuhay).
