Talk:Anuloma pranayama

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have a doubt. In the site referenced ( first link : http://www.abc-of-yoga.com/pranayama/basic/viloma.asp ) it is instructed to hold the breath after inhaling, and then to exhale. But in the article it is specified that, we have to exhale through the other nostril after inhaling; without specifying the retention of breath. In some websites, it is given that one has to hold the breath while doing Anulom Pranayama, and some websites say that one should not hold the breath while doing any Pranayama. The question is whether one should hold the breath while practicing this pranayama or not??
