Yoga is an excellent alternative form of healing that is very suited to the needs of thyroid patients. For beginners, yoga's gentle stretching and emphasis on breathing can be done by almost anyone, and reaps immediate rewards in terms of energy, reduction of stress levels, flexibility and reduction of muscle and joint stiffness, and much much more in terms of peace of mind and general harmony.
I've personally been a practitioner of yoga for several years, and have found that it is an excellent way to tone muscles, eliminate aches and pains, dramatically reduce stress, and help breathing. While I've also tried to do aerobic exercise, I've found that I look forward to yoga -- unlike aerobics! -- and very quickly have very rapid results from practicing even a few times a week. For me, and for many others, yoga is much more than exercise -- it is bringing of mind and body and spirit into balance!
Sun Salutation: This set of yoga exercises are recommended for cardiovascular health. Do at least 6 to 12 cycles a day. It will help to strengthen the health of the heart and help to prevent heart attack.If you are already suffering from heart problems, the Sun Salutation may be too strenuous and is not recommended. In this case, you may substitute the following postures instead:
Salabha Asana (Locust Pose)
Padmasana (Lotus Pose)
Ustrasana (Camel Pose)
Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose)
