"Clear Vision" - A Course in Somatic Practices for Improving Vision and Reducing Eye Strain

Unfortunately, clarity and quality of vision often decline over time. With the help of lessons based on the Feldenkrais Method, you can learn to recognize and eliminate habits that interfere with effortless and relaxed vision. We will also develop new habits that will transform how we use our eyes, enabling clearer and sharper vision with less effort.

This course includes six online lessons that will expand your awareness of how you look and see. This is essential because the majority of information about the world around us comes through our eyes. We will explore the connection between the eyes, head, and neck with the movements of the rest of the body. Since eye movement organizes the movement of the whole body, our vision impacts every movement we make. The quality of vision is directly linked to posture, breathing, and the overall state of the nervous system.

Since our eyes are constantly under heavy strain, they need proper rest and relaxation. This course is a true spa experience for the eyes. Gentle, slow eye movements, combined with attention to the sensations in the body, create conditions that allow the brain to learn effortlessly and enhance its functionality. The brain spontaneously releases unnecessary muscular effort, tension, and internal conflict.

What You’ll Achieve in the Course:

• Learn to better feel and control eye movements.

• Release chronic tension in the eyes, face, neck, and the entire body.

• Increase the mobility of the spine in all directions.

• Improve your psycho-emotional state.

"Here you will learn how eye movement coordinates body movement and how it connects with neck muscles. Exploring the relationship between the eyes and neck muscles improves body movement control and makes actions easier. Moving the eyes in a direction opposite to the body creates new possibilities many are unaware of. These exercises expand the range of movement and help eliminate false habits. You will also distinguish between the muscles controlling eye movement and those influencing vision in a more specific way."
