5 easy steps to strengthen eyes with Eye yoga
Not being able to get your lipstick straight or see that rouge eyebrow hair sticking-up is the worst thing about failing eye-sight; closely followed by searching for your glasses when they were on top of your head the whole time!
There are several steps you can take to protect your eyes, such as wearing the right sunglasses, but did you know that there are simple yoga practices to strengthen the eye muscles?
Try this practice to optimize your optical arsenal:
Sitting upright in a chair, image that you have a giant clock face in front of you.
- Without moving your head or lifting your chin, look up to 12:00 (midnight) on the clock face, hold and take three breaths.
- Now drop your eyes to the right, looking at 3pm, hold – take three breaths.
- Look down to 6pm, three breaths.
- Lift the gaze up the left to 9pm, three breaths.
- And back to midnight. Repeat this practice, moving the eyes anti-clockwise.
Top tips:
- If your eyes begin to tire, close them, rest the muscles then start again.
- Practice eye yoga every day to improve your vision.
