Yoga Poses for  Hashimoto Thyroid

Yoga is an amazing alternative therapy, but it needs to be complemented along with modern medicine especially if you are already under medication.  Firstly you'll need to consult with your medical practitioner or gynecologist about the symptoms that you are currently experiencing considering the condition that you're suffering from.  In addition to the changed medication you can adopt some simple yoga exercises and breathing techniques that will greatly benefit and treat your condition.

Do not attempt to do any form of stretching or advanced form of yoga without the consultation of your doctor or a practiced instructor.

The most effective breathing technique in yoga is the Ujjayi Pranayama. This particular Pranayama is highly effective in treating thyroid disorders and works especially in relaxing and stimulating the throat area.  Although this breathing technique is also helpful in strengthening the heart muscles; if you are a beginner of yoga and you are experiencing any sort of ailments related to the heart this particular exercise must be refrained from being performed, as the possibility of holding the breath while doing it for the first time may cause harm. Another useful breathing technique that you can try practicing with the help of instructor is the Nadi shodhana Pranayama.  You can perform this particular breathing exercise by first sitting in a very comfortable position with your eyes closed.  With the help of instructor who are the issue how to slowly exhale first from the right nostril and inhale as deeply as possible with the help of a guttural sound from the left nostril.  This particular breathing technique must be done without holding the breath.  However exercise must not be practiced if you are suffering from high blood pressure or acidity.

Do not attempt any forms of twisting or bodily movement or any form of uncomfortable sitting positions as these may be a hindrance in your current term of pregnancy.  If you doctor recommends the practice of yoga it'll be advisable to get a list of asanas that you can safely perform.
