Simple Yoga Exercise For Strengthening Your Eyes

Everybody’s workout routine generally concentrates in body fitness revolving around cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, speed, power, agility, balance, coordination, and reaction time. Obviously, this is in order to get in perfect shape and to have great body.

However, there is a vital part of the body – the eyes – that are casually not given much attention. Could it be, they are taken for granted or they are assumed to have less impact in body fitness? Regardless, you should really exercise the eyes in your workout routines.

This simple yoga will relax and strengthen the eyes helping to make the adjustments needed during everyday activities such as reading, driving or working in front of computer screen. The yoga can be performed anywhere and anytime.

Step 1

With your fore-finger, touch the spot between your eyebrows. Gradually move your finger away, focusing on it as it moves and still continuing until your arm is fully extended. Hold the position for a few seconds, then bring the finger back between your eyebrows. Cover your eyes with your palms. Repeat the step at least twice.

Step 2

Extend your right arm in front of you, with the thumb pointing upwards. Focusing on the middle of the thumb, move your arm gradually to the right, following the thumb with your eyes without moving the head. When you have followed it as far as you can, hold the position for 15 to 30 seconds. Move your arms slowly to the front again, following your thumb with your eyes. Cover your eyes with your palms. Repeat with the left arm and palm one more.

Step 3

Hold both arms out in front of you, with the thumbs pointing up. Gaze at both thumbs and gradually move your arms apart. Continue until you are about to lose sight of the thumbs. Hold the position for one minute, then bring your arms slowly back to starting position. Again, cover your eyes with your palms.

Step 4

Hold out your right arm, pointing with your fore-finger to the left. Without moving your head, slowly raise your arm while focusing on the finger. Move your arm as far as you can without losing sight of the finger. Hold for 30 seconds, then slowly lower your arm to eye level. Cover your eyes with your palms, then repeat with the arm moving below eye level.
