[9] Gavin Flood dates this text, along with other Yoga Upanishads, to be probably from the 100 BCE to 300 CE period.

[14] It is listed at number 63 in the serial order of the Muktika enumerated by Rama to Hanuman in the modern era anthology of 108 Upanishads.

[16] The Narayana anthology, popular in South India, also includes this Upanishad at number 22 in Bibliothica Indica.

[28] The Telugu language anthology edition of Yogashikha Upanishad is notable for its discussion of Jnana-Yoga (path of knowledge).

[29][3] Chapters 1 and 5 of the text discuss six kinds of Yoga, Kundalini and five fires within a human body.

[30][31] It asserts that the awareness of Chakra with Hatha Yoga practice is a form of spiritual experience.

[36] The text, states Georg Feuerstein, suggests Yoga is a journey and recommends a steady spiritual practice with a Guru (teacher).

[39] The last chapter of the Upanishad emphasizes the importance of Dhyana (meditation) on the highest self, Hamsa and Om.
