Eye yoga & eye techniques
By Katty Reniers, Master's in Physiotherapy
By applying physical eye techniques, you relieve fatigue and tension from your eyes. This is how you improve your vision and give your eyes, as well as your body, the chance to relax and therefore heal better. The cause of problems is often stress, which can arise at various levels. The core of improvement is often deep relaxation and the right tools to promote this. When it comes to eye complaints, the right eye techniques that free the eyes and promote better blood circulation are key. Working with emotions is also an important element in certain cases. The techniques are simple and effective. They can help alleviate, improve, or completely eliminate certain issues such as dry, tired, irritated eyes, double vision, lazy eye, nearsightedness, farsightedness, presbyopia, blurred vision, astigmatism and tearing eyes. They can also relieve certain complaints and symptoms related to cataracts, elevated eye pressure, glaucoma, macular conditions, and retinal diseases. Important: I don’t want to give the impression that all complaints are easy to solve or can be resolved.
It is important to consider each case individually and see how we can address the issues. Always seek guidance from an eye specialist/ ophthalmologist for eye complaints, symptoms, or if you belong to a risk group for a specific eyecondition.

Companies
SCREEN TIME Many employees and employers spend thousands of hours in front of screens. Our eyes are naturally equipped to look at long and medium distances, which is relaxing for them. Hours of focusing on short distances strain the eyes and can severely fatigue both the eyes and the lenses. Over time, this almost always leads to eye problems of one kind or another. Additionally, prolonged exposure to artificial light is another exhausting factor.
VALUABLE GIFT By offering a workshop on relaxing eye techniques/eye yoga, you provide your employees with a valuable gift that benefits them both in the short and long term. You help people improve their vision and maintain their healthy eyes and sight for many years, possibly a lifetime. Handouts with detailed descriptions of the techniques will be available after the workshop.
LANGUAGES Depending on demand, I offer workshops in Dutch, English, or French.
ONLINE OR ONSITE
ONSITE: Flanders, Wallonia, Brussels, the Netherlands, France.

What Participants Say
"Today, for the first time in 15 years, I have no watery eyes. Usually, at the slightest breeze or cold, I have to constantly keep my tissue handy. After a week and a half of doing my eye yoga exercises, and seeing such results..."
"I’m very pleasantly surprised that my cataracts have decreased after 4 weeks of practice. I’m really motivated to continue my exercises. I can now postpone my cataract surgery!"
"After 2 weeks of eye yoga, I no longer need my reading glasses, and my blurry vision has disappeared."
"I notice that I haven’t put on my reading glasses today. I feel younger again :-)"
"After a few weeks of eye yoga, I see clearly better in the dark."
"These techniques taught me how to relax my eyes and how beneficial this can be. I enjoyed the eye yoga.
Through the exercises, I sometimes almost unconsciously use my glasses less. Katty guides the exercises with clear explanations. The introspection and a bit of insight into entrenched beliefs were also very healing."
"Our students were absolutely thrilled about your workshop." (University of Applied Sciences in Kortrijk)
"I usually walk around all day with my eye drops in my pocket, ready to use them. I could scratch my eyes out from the itching. They are also constantly dry. I have now been applying the techniques for 2 weeks, and sometimes I don't even remember where I've left my eye drops!"
"My eyes are deeply relaxed."
"When I woke up at night, I had issues with dry eyes. It really hurt and was very bothersome. I applied the exercises from the first workshop, and now I’m clearly suffering less from it."
More Information& Testimonials
PHYSICAL EYE TECHNIQUES can help alleviate, improve, or completely eliminate - depending on the condition of your eyes - certain issues present with nearsightedness, farsightedness, presbyopia, blurred vision, astigmatism, watery eyes, cataracts, increased eye pressure, glaucoma, dry eyes, irritated eyes, tired eyes, various types of macular /retinal conditions, double vision, lazy eye, and more. Eye yoga is not a series of new techniques; it has existed for thousands of years.
The problem is that our eyes often receive an overdose of visual stimuli in our Western society. Consider the number of hours your eyes are exposed to computer, smartphone, and TV screens, as well as artificial light... the viewing distance is often short for (much) too long. This is very tiring for the eye lens. These factors can lead to blurry vision, deterioration of sight, irritation, dry eyes, and more. Regularly applying the right techniques and routines can often provide relief or, in the best case, completely resolve your eye problems.
