Below said diabetes yoga, is suitable for experienced practitioners. If you are new to yoga, my suggestion is to practice simplified diabetes yoga for at least 2 to 3 months. Once you are familiar, comfortable and gain perfection with simplified diabetes yoga, after that you can start practicing the below said diabetes yoga.
Sarvangasana (Shoulder Stand) diabetes yoga
Sarvangasana diabetes yoga gently massages the thyroid and parathyroid glands (found in the neck region) by its firm chin-lock. This gentler massage increases the fresh blood circulation to these glands, and thus this gland starts working to its full efficacy. These glands are responsible for protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism as well as vitamin metabolism. This in-turn is affecting, how the human cells can use energetic compounds. The thyroid also regulates other glands that produce other hormones.
How do you do Sarvangasana?
- this is a mysterious yoga, which gives wonderful benefits. Spread a thick blanket on the floor lie on the back quite flat.
- slowly raise your legs. Lift your trunk, hips, and legs vertically.
- support your back with your two hands, one on either side. Rest on your elbows on the ground, and press your chin against the chest. Allow the back-shoulder portion and neck to touch the ground closely. Do not allow your body to shake or move back and forth. Keep your legs straight.
When the yoga pose is over, bring your legs down slowly with elegance and without any jerks. In this yoga, the whole body weight is on your shoulders. You really stand on your shoulders with the support of your elbows. Concentrate on your Thyroid gland, which lies on the front lower part of the neck. Hold your breath as long as you can do with comfort, and slowly breathe out through the nose.
Caution: Women should not do any inverted poses during menstruation as it reverses the blood flow. People suffering from blood pressure, glaucoma, hernias, cardiovascular disease, cervical spondylitis, thrombosis, arteriosclerosis, and kidney problems should not practice headstand. Those suffering from neck injuries should perform this exercise after consulting and under supervision of a yoga teacher.
