These 7 yoga poses can help you prevent eye strain, enhance your eyesight, and maintain improved eye health over time. Include them in your regular fitness regimen.
Prolonged periods of time spent working in front of a computer screen can cause eye strain and tension. Not only may eye fatigue reduce productivity, but it can also lead to both physical and mental tiredness.
Himalayan Siddhaa Akshar, the founder of Akshar Yoga Institutions, offered the following advice in an interview with HT Lifestyle to help keep your eyes healthy and minimize eye strain:
i. Cut Down on Screen Time: In order to give your eyes enough rest, try to limit the amount of time you spend in front of screens each day.
ii. Take Regular Breaks: To avoid sitting for long periods of time, take regular breaks to clear your head and rest your eyes.
iii. Avert Dim illumination: To lessen eye strain, make sure you have enough illumination when reading or working.
iv. Avoid Fluorescent Lighting: Over time, fluorescent lighting can deteriorate your eyesight and cause irritation.
Yoga's health benefits for your eyes:
"Incorporating Yoga into your daily routine can be immensely beneficial to combat eye strain and improve vision," stated Himalayan Siddhaa Akshar. Long-term improved eye health can be ensured by adopting specific yoga positions that guard against eye tiredness and overexertion. In order to maintain eye health and avoid strain, he suggested the following yoga poses:
In mountain pose, or Tadasana: Raise your body to a standing position and place your heels together. Breathe deeply for 5-8 breaths while actively using your leg muscles. Activate your core muscles and relax your shoulders down and back.
Padahastasana (Standing Forward Bend): Exhale, then stand in Samasthithi. Bend your upper body slightly, lowering your head while maintaining a relaxed neck and shoulder. With some practice, place your palms on each side of your foot and slowly extend your knees so that you can try to touch your thighs to your chest. Maintain this pose for some time.
Begin in Vajrasana for Sirshasana (Headstand): Interlock your palms and place your elbows on the ground. Using your palms for support, place your head's crown on the ground in front of them. As soon as your back straightens, tiptoe toward your head. After raising your right leg, raise your left leg so that it is in line with your upper body while maintaining your balance and core strength. Hold this pose for as long as it feels comfortable, pointing your toes downward and linking your legs.
Lie on your back in the wheel pose, or chakrasana: Put your hands on the floor next to your head and turn your arms so that they are at your shoulders. Take a deep breath, raise your body into an arch, and split your weight equally across your four limbs. Take a 15–20 second break and hold the position.
Plow Pose (Halasana): Place your palms on the floor next to you while lying on your back. Using your abdominal muscles, raise your legs to a ninety-degree angle. Lower your legs back behind your head and plant your palms firmly on the floor. If necessary, use your palms to support your lower back. Take a few deep breaths and hold the pose for ten to fifteen seconds.
Dhanurasana (Bow Pose): Bend your knees and raise your arms and legs off the floor while in the bow pose, or Dhanurasana. Try to lift your arms and legs as high as you can while keeping your gaze upward. Take a 15–20 second break and hold the position.
Desk Yoga: This type of yoga helps enhance posture and lessen eye strain by adapting poses to be done at a desk. It's easy to incorporate basic postures like Utkatasana, Samakonasana, and Tadasana into your daily routine at work. Take a few minutes each hour, whether you work in an office setting or from home, to stretch your body and de-stress your eyes. This will help you stay healthy and productive.
