While doing this Asana, you need to lift your hips upwards with your shoulders and head on the ground. As a result, the flow of blood and oxygen to your brain is facilitated. Doing this Asana regularly can activate your thyroid gland and can help in reducing depression, mood swings, anxiety disorders, and other brain-related symptoms of hypothyroidism.

Steps:

· Lie on your back and pull the feet towards your hips

· Feet should remain parallel to each other

· Inhale & lift body so that stomach faces ceiling together with hips and thighs

· Chest and chin should be locked

· Exhale and come down

*Modification: Place a yoga block under sacrum (bottom of spine) and rest your pelvis.
