Eye Exercises
Netra Vyāyāma
नेत्र व्यायाम
It is a Yoga practice involving conscious eye movements, aimed at alleviating eye strain and strengthening eye muscles.
Netra Vyāyāma is comprised of "Netra" (eye) and "Vyāyāma" (exercise, practice). It is a Yoga practice involving conscious eye movements, aimed at alleviating eye strain and strengthening eye muscles.
In modern life with prolonged screen time, eye fatigue and blurriness are common issues. This practice helps relax the muscles around the eyes and promotes blood flow, easing visual fatigue and maintaining eye health. It also enhances mental concentration.
Sit with a long spine, keeping the head still, and slowly move the eyeballs up, down, left, right, diagonally, and in circles. Often combined with "palming," where closed eyes are covered with the palms of the hands. Focus on releasing tension deep within the eyes, synchronized with breath.
Emphasize "moving only the eyeballs, not the head," and focusing awareness on the eye movements. For students experiencing eye strain, recommend incorporating these exercises into daily routines and stressing the importance of rest.
