Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your description. I suggest you not to worry much. Yoga is supposed to be good for body and spirit. It enhances metabolism and triggers spiritual healing. Yoga has exercises for every organ in human body. You already have some thyroid problems. Yoga exercises could have interfered with the normal (in your case, abnormal) functioning of the thyroid. You could discuss this with the instructor. If he does not know the reason, learn yoga from an expert for better result.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
