Yoga to Improve Eyesight

First 8 exercises are done while sitting down.

1. Relax. Take slow, deep breaths through your nose and close your eyes. Gently massage closed eyelids with your palms in direction to and from the nose, while slowly exhaling. Hold your breath as long as possible. At the same time cover your face with your palms so no light comes in. Open your eyes and slowly inhale. While you are slowly exhaling open your palms like butterfly wings.



2. Look straight in front of you. While slowly exhaling, move your eyes left as far as they can go and look down. Hold your breath and keep this position as long as possible. Take slow deep breaths and return your eyes to their normal position.



3. Repeat exercise 2, but moving your eyes to the right.



4. Repeat exercise 2, directing both your eyes to the tip of the nose.



5. Repeat exercise 2, directing both your eyes to the place between your eye browses.



6. Exhale and hold your breath. Rotate your eyes starting from left down, then left up, to the bridge of the nose, right up, right down and, finely, to the tip of the nose.Repeat as long as you are able to hold your breath.



7. Do as explained above, but start from the right.



8. Again massage the eyes with your palms in the direction to and from the nose.



9. Standing up: take as much cold water in your mouth as you can hold. Bend over the sink and keep your eyes wide open. Throw handfuls of cold water into your eyes until water in your mouth gets warm. (During this procedure try not to blink. A few days might be needed to get used to it.) Spit the water from the mouth, dry the face and gently massage closed eyes.

As with all yoga exercises, the breathing pattern is very important. Each exercise is done once.
