5-minute yoga that can help restore thyroid levels

I love yoga, but I can understand why so many people are reluctant to jump on this trend.
The last ten years have seen an explosion in yoga studios across the country and all consumer products to go with the expensive cost of membership. No amount of lycra will make you better or healthier and you do not have to pay your monthly salary to reap the benefits of the practice.
The origins of yoga have long been debated, but one thing that all parties agree on is that it has developed in ancient India and is not just an exercise of physical strength, but a mental and spiritual discipline.
Buddhist and Hindu groups have founded yoga for spiritual meditation and have used it as a form of prayer for centuries.

Recently, we have seen how Western concerns for physical perfection have adopted yoga as a trend to make money.

Is yoga worth all the hype?
Many studies have attempted to determine the physical and psychological influence of yoga, and although no definitive answer has been revealed, some have suggested that yoga can reduce risk factors for health and help with psychological healing.
In fact, there are poses of Asana yoga practice that can help balance one of the most important and most strenuous organs in our body: the thyroid.
In a world with increasingly toxic elements, our thyroids tend to be unbalanced. Instead of rectifying these instabilities with prescription medications, you can help balance the irregularities of the thyroid with these 2 simple Asana yoga poses:

1. Sarvanga Asana
Asana means to stay still and sarvanga is Sanskrit meaning "whole body". Sarvangasana is a shoulder support in which the entire body maintains a motionless posture.

This yoga position is among the best for reverse blood circulation and considered a powerful aid to invigorate your thyroid. Because the body is in an upside down position, the pressure effect on the nervous system in the head and throat helps to generate activity in the pituitary gland and pineal glands.
Method
Lie on your back with your legs straight.
Keep your legs together and slowly bring them back to the ceiling.
Place your palms on your lower back, lift your hips off the ground.
Straighten your legs and keep your elbows on the ground to support your back.
Once in this position, your thyroid gland will be pressed towards your chin
Maintain a stable and straight vertical line and avoid swinging right or left, forward or backward.
Your body should be supported on your shoulders and biceps while breathing regularly and deeply.

2. Matsya Asana
Literally translated as swimming like a fish in flooded water, this position is easy to do and extremely influential in strengthening thyroid function.

Not only can this position improve thyroid function, but it can also benefit the nervous system.

Method
Lie flat on your back or in a dorsal position.
Enter the lotus position by crossing your left leg on your right and vice versa.
Lift your back off the floor and place the top of your head on the floor to create a bow with your back.
