Yoga and Hypothyroidism


About 7 years ago I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. What has happened recently has become one of the inspirations for this blog.

I met a Kundalini Yoga instructor via his own blog, Krishan Singh: http://www.kundaliniyogablog.com/
He has been researching the possibility of utilizing KY to address hypothyroidism by working on your 5th Chakra (throat). Interesting thing is, my last blood test came back showing improvement, so I think that there's something to this!

I have only just begun a 40 day Sadhana that includes a 5th Chakra Kriya. Will let you know how it's going, in case you would like to try something like this for yourself, if you suffer from hypothyroidism, too.

I am a student studying holistic nutrition and we just finished our presentations on the chakras. I was assigned the fourth chakra " heart" and came to realize so much about myself. I feel as though I am in between the fourth and fifth chakra at this stage in my life and ironically enough I am 28 years old. I have issues with my adrenal glands, fatigue and cystic acne. I don't have any problems with weight loss or gain..yet...but I feel like if i don't address my psyche then these could be a problem in the future. After assessing the fifth chakra I decided to begin using my voice which until the last ten years was always very active and quite loud. So i started my blog...it's my life and I'll do what I want....It is a creative outlet for self expression. I wish you luck on your journey into wellness....feel free to visit my site any time.
