    Commentaries around

    “In India the Purohita (person appointed to be in charge of the teaching)
    has the authority to say:
    Anuloma – What goes with what the person wants.
    Viloma – What goes against what the person wants.
    Pratiloma – What is different from what the person wants.
    In the West too much Anuloma.
    In India more Viloma and Pratiloma.”
    – TKV Desikachar Madras 1998

    “When using Mṛgi Mudrā to control the nostril flow in Prāṇāyāma,
    the ring finger and thumb remain as if glued onto the nostrils,
    with one nostril being fully closed and one nostril partially closed,
    with adjustments to the pressure according to technique and ratio.
    Even when using Ujjāyī within techniques such as Anuloma Ujjāyī,
    the finger and thumb remain as if sealed on the sides of the nostrils.
    Externally it’s as if there is nothing to observe in terms of the body.
    Internally there is a vibrant flow within the dynamics of the breath.”
    – 108 Prāṇāyāma Practice Pointers
