Yoga is a complete discipline that provides total well-being to body and mind because the work we go to do has a strong impact on the endocrine system. In most of the asana we perform a massage to the internal organs and parts of the body that act on the glandular system, revitalizing it and activating the production of hormones in strategic points such as the thyroid, ovaries, adrenals and pituitary glands.
In this sequence we propose exercises that work mainly on the thyroid, pituitary, thymus and ovaries.
