Steps to do this pose:
All you need to do is place a yoga
mat on the floor. Kneel on the mat, and let the top surface
of your feet
touch the mat, such that your heels are pointing upwards. Now gently
place your buttocks on your heels. It is important to note that your
heels are on either side of your anus. Now place both your palms on your
knees, facing downwards. Close your eye and breath in deeply at a
steady rate.
5. Sarvangasana: This pose is
essentially known for its ability to regulate the working of the
thyroid glands. These glands are responsible for the proper functioning
of the entire body including the digestive, nervous, reproductive
system, regulating metabolism and respiratory system. Apart from that,
it nourishes the spine with a good supply of blood and oxygen, helping
you beat nervous system disorders, and improving your all round health.
Steps to do this pose:
Lie on a yoga mat with your legs
extending outwards. Now slowly raise your legs either by first folding
them at the knees or by lifting them straight. Place your palms along
your back and hips to support it, and raise your body while pointing
your toes to the ceiling. All your weight should be on your shoulders.
Make sure you breathe slowly and lock your chin into your chest. Your
elbows should be touching the floor and your back should be supported.
Hold this pose for as long as you are comfortable. To return to the
lying position, slowly lower your body. Do not fall back to the lying
position.
Tips to keep in mind: Do not
do this pose if you suffer from any neck or spinal injuries. If you do
have high blood pressure perform this exercise only under supervision.

6. Halasana: This pose is great
for those who sit for long hours and tend to have bad posture. It
stimulates the thyroid glands, parathyroid glands, lungs and abdominal
organs, therefore helping the blood rush to your head and face, improves
digestion and keeps the hormonal levels in check.
Step to do this pose:
Lie flat on the floor with your feet
flat stretched out. Place your arms by your side and bend your knees so
that your feet are flat on the floor. Now, slowly raise your legs from
the hips. Place your hands on your hips as you raise them and use your
hands as support. Now slowly bend your legs at the hips and try to touch
the floor behind your head with your toes and straighten your hands so
they are flat on the floor. Breath out while going up. To return to the
lying position gently roll your back onto the floor, breath in while
you come down. Do not drop down suddenly.
Tip to keep in mind: If you suffer from liver or spleen disorders, hypertension, have diarrhoea, are menstruating or have suffered a neck injury, avoid doing this pose.
