Yoga Exercise - Eye Training



Like any other muscles, the eye muscles also need exercise to be healthy and strong. Most of the time, we only shift our gaze minimally from left to right, as when reading, and turn our heads if we want to look elsewhere. By moving the eyes in every direction, without turning your head at all, these Five Yoga Eye Exercises will strengthen the eye muscles, help prevent eyestrain and improve eyesight. Breathe normally while you practice.

First look up, then look down. Now look to the far right and then look far left. Next look up to the right, then look diagonally downward to the left. Repeat in the opposite direction. Now imagine a large clock - look up at 12 o'clock, then circle around it clockwise, quite slowly for two rounds then quicker for three. Repeat the exercise in a counterclockwise direction. Lastly, hold your thumb up about a foot from your face, and move your eyes from the thumb to the wall beyond and back. To end, always "palm" your eyes as shown below.
  1. Look up and then look down.
  2. Look at the right, then look at the left.
  3. Look at the top right, then bottom left.
  4. Look at the top left, then botttom right.
  5. Look up. Roll your eyes clockwise, then counterclockwise.

we can add the following movement :close the eyes and tighten them and open.repeat the same as fast as one can do.Before palming the eye we can rub hands vigorously till they are warm and then put them on eyes.Doing moolband and Uddian band while rubbing hands produces more warmth and energy.
