Healthy Eyes & Vision

A program of six Feldenkrais lessons to gently improve the health and comfort of your eyes. Taught by Feldenkrais Trainer Raz Ori.

Feldenkrais help for your vision

 

Over millions of years, our visual system has evolved to be our dominant sense organ. Exquisitely complex, it allows us to see colors and to perceive the world around us in three dimensions. It gives us peripheral vision as well as the ability to focus on fine details, and it makes it possible for us to detect motion and move while fixing our gaze.

But modern life is altering the way we use our eyes. Today, people of all ages are experiencing eye discomfort, tension, and loss of visual acuity. Why? Because when we focus on screens, our visual system has to work in a very limited and restricted way. Over time, this diminishes the health of our eyes. Without intervention, we can become habituated to using our eyes in ways that lead to eye strain, fatigue, poor circulation, and visual impairments.

Raz Ori has spent the past decade studying the role that our eyes play in our perceptions and actions. In this program, he teaches Feldenkrais lessons to help you improve each aspect key to healthy eyes. Learn new tools for self-care as you discover new ways to improve your ocular circulation and reduce muscular tension. Improve the organization of your eyes individually, together, and with your whole self, and re-activate some of the natural visual biological abilities that are no longer present in our daily life. As your eye health improves, your mobility, posture, balance, and sense of well-being will improve as well!

What People are Saying

 

"I've been doing these lessons DAILY over the past two months. I've noticed subtle but significant changes in my vision. I now often go without my glasses. The central vision in my right eye is compromised by macular degeneration, and now my vision has become more articulated."

~DBT

"I now have clearer vision. I discovered I was looking out of one eye, only to one side, while the other eye was centered on what I was viewing. I gradually corrected this by doing these lessons with Raz. Now I have improved my vision enough so that I no longer need my glasses as often."  

~Norma Leistiko

"For days after doing one of the lessons for the first time, I felt more fluid with the overall movements of my body. My eyes moved more softly as I scanned the landscape on a walk. Wonderful! It is quite challenging and intriguing, and it will give me 'food' to explore for a long time. "

Who are Feldenkrais lessons for?

 

They are for everyone. No previous experience is required. Feldenkrais lessons are gentle, flexible, and used by people of all ages and abilities, for a variety of reasons. Use to improve your physical comfort and abilities, enhance your mood, and promote healing.

Why are they called lessons?

 

They're called ‘lessons’ instead of ‘exercises’ because your brain engages in sensory-motor learning when you do them. As you combine movement and attention, learning occurs and new options for your physical comfort, posture, and movement will emerge.

Why does this approach work?

 

Feldenkrais lessons work because your brain is interested in helping you. A unique combination of movement and attention activates your brain’s flexible neuroplasticity, to help you to develop new neuro-pathways and better neuromuscular organization.
