Stimulate the Throat Chakra for Thyroid Health

This was a fantastic class with lots of work on the neck, bridge poses, nice deep breath work. Ideal for a day where you are feeling very fatigued and can't do a vinyassa or ashtanga class! thank you Sarah.

Thank you Sarah!

I have a cold, and so my neck was stiff and achy. After the class it feels so limber and flexible. My breathing is slow and steady. It's like I got a massage. Thanks Sarah!

good class, not much movement so it's not great if you need a "workout". definitely some good poses & it was difficult for me because i have some throat chakra problems & not much neck strength. it was good to focus on. thanks sarah! maybe next time some more info on the throat chakra aspect as well.

I like this one, I use it when I'm having shoulder & neck tension.

Sarah goes beyond the usual and allows us to explore a varieaty of different yoga moves. Loved the dynamic moves in the beginning. Although I felt a little uneasy doing full head/neck circles, I appreciated the class. Thanks for preparing a very good session Sarah.

Enjoyed the class but it was pretty slow moving. My body never got warm and it was difficult to go deeply into the forward folds at the end. I liked the focus on the thyroid.

I have hypothryrodism and feel like this class was the best thing I could do today to take care of myself. Great cues with attention to keeping the neck safe. I feel relaxed and restored. Thank you Sarah

The routine was well explained and executed. I thought the cuing about using a blanket for shoulder stand to protect the neck was good; however I would suggest adding additional words of caution for shoulder stand, plow and fish for anyone with cervical vertebrae issues.

I disagree with a message below. First 28 minutes - no danger to the neck. Instructions are clear. The importance of keeping the neck straight is underscored over and over. Around 28th minute many variations of bridge. Nothing special. A shoulder stand at the end - the proper instructions are given to keep the neck safe. Thx Sarah

beautiful way to start my day. om.

This was an excellent early morning class for waking up the entire body....not just the throat and shoulders. Great, focused stretching and holding...with a few challenges along the way. Thanks Sarah!

This class was wonderful. Sarah's instructions were great & she was very conscientious about keeping the neck safe. My thyroid feels great! Thanks Sarah.

this class if done correctly is fine for the neck. i dont know what the last person did wrong. if you follow sarah and dont overdo, infact modify if needed with a small pillow or blanket it is safe and fine. i feel great!

I am a semi experienced yogi, I've attended classes for about 2 years and take safety seriously (but not obsessively). I thought the class was unsafe for the neck (see the recent New York Times article detailing the dangers of yoga, many involving the neck). I felt many of the poses were inappropriate and overextended the neck, all while neglecting major muscle groups, such as the legs, back, and arms. I stopped the routine about 28 minutes into it and finished my practice today with a series of lunges, warrior 2 and warrior 3 poses and felt I had a much more rewarding and safe practice.

Love all of Sarah's classes.. she combines a perfect balance of narration with movement... I feel very refreshed and happy after this class. I will definitely use what I've learned about the throat chakra in my daily practice!!

Feel fantastic after the class. Sarah you are great !

Always enjoy Sarah's classes & feel really great after this one.

Loved this class. I found it relaxing with some challenges. Shoulder stand is my favorite pose and I always end my practice with it-so it was great to do a class this way.

Nice restorative class that gets you thinking about the thyroid.

I recently learned I have thyroid issues, and I found this class while I was looking for complementary yoga practices. Challenging yet refreshing, I look forward to doing this class again! Thank you, Sarah, for the wonderful gift.

perfect class! really focused and really effective! i feel great!

Although Sarah always says it's impossible to be negative when the thyroid is working, I did not find that to be true. I actually was frustrated through much of the sequence. Many of the poses were quite advanced and I felt like the instructor did not give enough information about moving into the poses safely and did not always explain thoroughly enough what position the neck should be in. I did enjoy the simpler kriyas at the beginning.

It is so nice to find advanced-yet lower impact-classes that I can do to balance the more up tempo classes or practice when I am feeling under the weather. This was great, and will definitely help me work through this bronchitis!

I think I would have enjoyed this class a lot more if my hamstrings weren't so darn tight. Many of the poses seemed to require more flexibility than I currently have, so I just wasn't able to get all the benefits of the class. I'll have to come back to it after a few more months and see if it feels better...

because it energizes as well as calms. The shoulder stand practice was so appreciate and helped me better understand the link between the throat chakra and the abdominal muscles. Fascinating stuff. I feel great. Thank you.

Really loved this class. After yesterday's yoga for surfers and snowboarders, I thought this balanced it out perfectly. Like many people I have tightness in my neck and shoulders and this really has left me feeling more space and length in my cervical spine. I always enjoy Sarah's classes.

Good slow pacing and focus on throat chakra and lock.

Great class - not only am I relaxed but I'm happy too! Lots of neck movement and Jalandhara Bandha engagement, some core work and an amazing shoulder stand at the end. Try it!

I started using Yoga Today regularly because of this class. I have an enlarged thyroid and these simple exercises relieve the panicky feelings and anxiety that I often feel because of my thyroid. I love it and they are so easy!
