About Vision Yoga Class

Therapeutic session to maintain and improve your eyesight, focus the mind and relax the body.  We’ll practice the Bates Method and Yoga to clear our vision and discover deeper transformation.  

Our visual system consists of eyes, mind and body, so we’ll do gentle movement, breathwork and relaxation to rebalance our vision.  We naturally see better when we’re relaxed and focused. 

Together we will explore the intimate connection between our eyes, mind, body and emotion. We’ll learn that how we feel affects how we see, and in turn, how we see affects our physical and emotional state. Due to the holistic nature of the practice, people often find benefit far beyond their eyesight, improving mental clarity, coordination and better sleep.

All the techniques learnt in these classes are gentle and accessible for everyone and Naomi will show you how to adapt the practice to suit you.
