IMPROVE YOUR EYE HEALTH

The increased hours spent staring at our computers screens and smartphones are taking a toll on our eyes.

Join yoga and qigong teacher, Daniel Orlansky, and behavorial optometrist, Dr. Marc Grossman, for a program that introduces a combination of the best practices from eastern and western methods for improving eye health. 

Through breathwork, yoga, and gentle movement designed to allow for more circulation to your brain and eyes, and more, you will learn:

  • How to rejuvenate your eyes with the four “B’s” of eye healthcare
  • Ways to bathe the eyes with oxygen
  • Stretches and simple qigong movements to relax your neck and shoulders 
  • Chinese eye massage using powerful acupressure points
  • Techniques to develop convergence—the ability of both eyes to look at the same point
  • Exercises to develop accommodation—the ability to change focus from one point to another

NOTE You will have access to the video recording(s) for 30 days after the program ends. All recordings will be available within 72 hours of the end of each session. 


Preview the Sessions

Session 1: Why Are My Eyes So Tired? Improving Eye Health With Eastern And Western Methods 

Building on the vision improvement techniques pioneered by William Bates, the father of natural vision improvement, and the wisdom of Chinese medicine, this session explores evidence-based practices from both East and West to relax your eyes and reduce visual stress. This session may be taken on its own as a standalone program.

Session 2: Yoga and Qigong for the Eyes: Stretch Away Tension to Improve Eyesight   

Learn yoga stretches and qigong movements to release tension by opening the liver and gall bladder meridian pathways, which are linked to better vision. Additionally, you'll explore poses designed to relax your shoulder girdle and neck muscles, allowing your head to float freely and comfortably on your spine. 

Session 3: Vision Quest: Unlocking Outer and Inner Clarity for Purpose and Meaning 

Beyond the physical act of seeing, cultivating inner vision—the ability to perceive ourselves, our lives, and our opportunities with clarity—is essential. Discover practices to deepen your inner vision, allowing you to gain fresh insights and strengthen your connection to the outer vision of your life. 

Session 4: Putting it All Together: Creating a Meaningful Home Practice 

Revisit the key exercises we've practiced, selecting the most essential ones to help you craft both a meaningful 10-minute and 20-minute home routine. Marc will also highlight the most effective exercises for various eye conditions.
