Moments of wellbeing with eye yoga

Stars like Paul McCartney know: Eye yoga is the secret for a relaxed look. Simple exercises can provide gentle and comforting relaxation to these highly efficient organs that take in about 80% of all our impressions.

Silhouette specialises in "comfort eyewear" and has compiled a simple eye yoga program with the help of Belgian yoga expert Jozef Kiekens. Ultimately, the eyes make the first impression – therefore, they should radiate as much freshness and relaxation as possible.

"Yoga supports body, mind, and soul, enhances blood circulation and thus a general feeling of well-being; we may therefore assume that somebody practising yoga has better sight as well. Furthermore, there are very special exercises for the eyes," reveals Jozef Kiekens from Belgium, who has dedicated almost fifty years to philosophical yoga theory and works at the Yoga Vendata Centre in Aalst.

A big advantage of eye yoga: you can do it nearly anywhere - and you should, as often as possible, especially at the office. People working in front of a computer often moan about their tired eyes, but more relaxed vision can easily be achieved with yoga exercises, because yoga provides a balancing and relaxing effect. A few minutes a day are sufficient.
