Attend to the following problems with these Yoga asanas and watch your life transform.

1) Headache
The Adho Mukha Shvanasana , also known as the downward facing dog pose is a great way to relieve a throbbing headache. The inverted pose causes additional blood to flow to the head, relieving the pain, making you feel re-energized.

2) Lower Back Pain
Uttanasana, also known as the forward bend releases the tightness of the lumbar spine. It also loosens hamstring muscles which over time can also help prevent lower back problems.

3) Anxiety
Vrikshasana or the Tree Pose helps focus on silencing the racing mind and regain focus. The effort you put in focusing on not losing balance is a great way to drive the worry out of your mind.

4) Thyroid
Halasana, or the Plough pose provides a good pressure to the neck region stimulating the thyroid glands. Furthermore, it opens up the chest region, making you breathe better and feel more at peace.

5) Diabetes
Urdhwadhanurasana, or Bow Pose regulates better functioning of the intestines and pancreas which helps control the blood sugar levels. It’s a great way to strengthen the core muscles in a slow and gradual way.

6) Indigestion
It stimulates the abdominal organs and stimulates digestion. The pose helps to stretch out the entire body from the groins to the chest and shoulders. It also helps osteoporosis and neck pain.
