Hello,
Good day.
If you have positive anti TPO antibody, that means you have auto immune hypothyroidism and there is auto immune destruction going on in your thyroid gland. Yoga will not stop this. There is no need to recheck Anti TPO levels. Keep continuing on TSH and you may need to keep TSH at around 3 for better feeling. Continue eltroxin on empty stomach everyday.
