Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement on Eyes

Feldenkrais Workshop – Eyes – Quite a Miracle

Explore and accomplish the following:

  • Relax the eyes
  • Improve Vision
  • Improve Balance
  • Relax the Nervous system
  • Relax muscles such as neck
  • Improve overall coordination
  • Increase visual field
  • Balance eye-pressure

In this two day workshop we intensely explore the eyes, which have a great influence on many unexpected areas of our well-being. 
The usage, for example unintentional rigidity of the eyes greatly influences overall movement coordination way beyond just head and neck mobility. 
The eye sight itself can be improved through offered explorations since an aspect of most vision dysfunctions is a lack of flexibility and adaptability of the eye musculature. 
Besides ears and ankles the eyes play a major role in balance. If someone’s lack of balance is due to his or her habitual way or organizing the eyes, great improvement can be found in this exploration.

And a wonderful side effect of all this is increased relaxation as we move along in this workshop. Eyes are an indicator of the state of activation of the nervous system, and so, when “working” with the eyes in gentle ways, the nervous system can calm down, which is experienced as a state of inner calm and well-being. Eye-pressure may be reduced though this fact as well.
In this specific workshop we will also include the usage of pinhole glasses,  designed to improve eyesight, especially for eye-focusing problems, shortsighted, farsighted and astigmatism. It also eliminates eyestrain.
