I became interested in Natural Vision Improvement in 2020, after hearing about it on a yoga podcast.
I had progressive myopia (inability to see far) with astigmatism (distorted vision) and suffered from eye fatigue, infection and extremely dry eyes. Every year, my eyesight was getting worse, and I knew there was also a high chance of getting presbyopia (inability to see close by) as I got older. This prompted me to explore ways of looking after my vision.
I wondered why I never questioned the established orthodoxy that eyes cannot heal. I’ve had personal experience of healing my body naturally and understood the concept of neuroplasticity, so if my body and mind can heal, why can’t my eyes?
I read many books and attended classes and courses on Natural Vision Improvement and Somatic Movement. I learned how deeply eyes and mind are intwined, and the importance of relaxation and mindfulness. My in-depth understanding of yoga became essential in healing.
After several years of experimentation, I managed to improve my eyesight and got rid of my eye problems. I also prevented presbyopia and found my overall mental and physical wellbeing improved. My years of upper body tension started to disappear, and my memory and imagination became better.
I’m currently doing a Teacher Training with Bates Method International and I am excited to share my unique holistic approach.
I’m happy to announce that I’ll be starting a weekly Friday lunchtime Vision Yoga class and Intro to Vision Yoga: Clarity for the Eyes and Mind at the beginning of this year.
