If the yoga helps your thyroid condition, then gradually the levels of the medication can be brought down, but you really need to do this under the supervision of a doctor. Good luck.Sujatha Bagalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02140274113596874518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13834351.post-14707395428440639072007-02-05T00:15:00.000-05:002007-02-05T00:15:00.000-05:00Hi!

Since my TSH level is at 8.4, I guess I need to go on medication, but my question is whether the TSH level can be improved and my dependency can be reduced with Matsyasana. Actually, I was told that the shoulder inversion is the one that helps the thyroid, but Matsyasana necessarily Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13834351.post-1155110793065734282006-08-09T04:06:00.000-04:002006-08-09T04:06:00.000-04:00C, thank you for responding to Sz's comment!Sz, I ...C, thank you for responding to Sz's comment!<BR/><BR/>Sz, I hope that helped.

I think that consistently incoporating Matsyasana (Fish Pose) into my practice has proven to be of great benefit to me. I have been dealing with my hypothyroidism for about 25 years now.

I agree with you - Shavasana is fantastic for letting one relax; after 45 mins of asanas, many a time, it had me on the verge of dropping off to sleep!! Not sure if I could ever, ever control my thoughts. Too jumpy & fickle minded for my own good! What to do, I'm like this only! ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13834351.post-1125584624764382412005-09-01T10:23:00.000-04:002005-09-01T10:23:00.000-04:00Michael: At least at the beginning, yoga can be ve...Michael: At least at the beginning, yoga can be very exhausting because of all the concentrating you must do, which is why a lot of people get discouraged. They come expecting relaxation and it's hardly that. But once I got the hang of it, it was a lot of fun to be able to control thoughts, to let some stay while sending others on their way.<BR/>Gayle is no longer in the DC area.

I know I have to concentrate to get the full benefit of exercise, but I don't like to. I prefer to let my mind wander.
