Easy yoga exercises for the eyes for children

Incorporating simple yoga exercises into your routine can contribute to maintaining good eye health. Here are a few straightforward yoga techniques that your child can practice. Remember to practice these exercises regularly and be mindful of any strain.

According to Himalayan Siddhaa Akshar, yoga guru, Founder, Akshar Yoga Kendraa, “These yoga exercises, when done consistently, can help relax your eye muscles, improve blood circulation, and contribute to overall eye health.

Palming

Rub your palms together vigorously until they generate warmth.

Close your eyes and gently place your warm palms over your closed eyes without applying pressure.

Take a few deep breaths and allow the warmth to relax your eye muscles.

Eye Circles

Sit comfortably and focus on a point directly in front of you.

Slowly move your eyes in a circular motion, first clockwise and then counterclockwise.

Repeat this for a few rounds, and remember to blink between circles.

Blinking

Sit or stand comfortably with a straight spine.

Blink your eyes rapidly for about 20 seconds.

Close your eyes and allow them to rest for a moment before repeating the process.

Up and down viewing

Sit with a straight spine and look up without moving your head.

Then, slowly lower your gaze to the floor.

Repeat this movement for a few cycles to stretch and strengthen your eye muscles.

Near and far viewing

Hold your thumb close to your face and focus on it. Then, shift your focus to an object in the distance. Alternate between focusing on your thumb and the distant object.

Remember to practice these exercises regularly and be mindful of any strain. These yoga exercises, when done consistently, can help relax your eye muscles, improve blood circulation, and contribute to overall eye health.
