Eye Care Yoga (Inc. Full Upa Yoga)


  • Blackheath, London SE3 7SF (map)

With our eyes under constant strain from unnatural light, here are some simple yogic practices that improve or maintain one's eye sight.

Eye Care Yoga

In today's electrical and digital age, our eyes are continuously exposed to unnatural light. More than 60% of people in the UK are prescribed glasses and the number is increasing.

This programme teaches some very simple yogic practices that both help reverse the impact of unnatural light on the eyes, as well as helping one to maintain their eye sight and prevent the need for glasses. 

As well as Eye Care Practices, this course includes the full Upa Yoga practices (including ones not available online), which have an added benefit for those who constantly work in front of computers. It also includes the very powerful technique of Shanmukhi Mudra as an added support for the eyes, as well as supporting other spiritual practices.

Price: £75 (plus booking fee)

Programme Structure

This workshop will be offered over two sessions of 3 hours 30 minutes each, over one weekend. Both sessions will take place in the morning as follows:

  • 10am-1.30pm on both Saturday and Sunday

Upa Yoga

As part of this course you will learn the full original sequence of Isha Upa Yoga, which is not available online or as part of the Inner Engineering Programme. 

Upa Yoga are simple yet powerful practices that help deliver the benefits of yoga that most people are looking for without going into the core of yoga. In many ways it is the step before yoga or 'sub-yoga'. We will be offering the original sequence by including the missing practices not taught online or elsewhere. This will be used as a preparation for the eye practices, and put together, will yield numerous physical and mental benefits including:

  • Relief of physical stress, anxiety and tiredness

  • Strengthening of the joints and muscles

  • Rejuvenating the body after periods of inactivity

  • Helping to build a focused mind

Eye Practices

Eye Care Yoga

These unique practises, devised by Sadhguru, are designed to have a phenomenal impact on the overall health and capabilities of the eyes. The practices can help correct eye problems, such as myopia (nearsightedness) and hyperopia (farsightedness) and strengthen the eye’s overall vision and focus; that can be maintained even into old age.

They are a very simple set of practices including body movements and practices directly for the eyes. It is a natural way to correct one's vision without surgery or laser treatments. The eyes have a muscular structure just like any other part of the body and, depending on the situation surrounding the eyes, can be corrected naturally provided there are no other complications. For these practices to take effect, it requires the daily practice at home and if kept up, it is very possible to improve and correct vision problems.

Shanmukhi Mudra

This is an extra practice we are including as it also has tremendous benefits for the health of your eyes as well as vision and is hugely supportive of the whole process. On top of that, Shanmukhi Mudra has other great benefits. It helps rejuvenate other parts of the face and can help with ailments in this region. Another aspect is it can help you prepare towards pratyahara or the process of turning inward by blocking off the sensory perception of the human being. It is a great support towards meditative practices as it helps to enhance one's awareness. It is particularly beneficial for those suffering from Tinnitus or Vertigo.

Who is it Suitable for?

This programme is for adults (18+) and can be attended by anyone, including those with no yoga experience. As well as those who have vision problems, it is particularly beneficial for those who work behind a screen in an office environment where you are required to sit all day. In today's world we are overwhelmed by unnatural light, be it either in the form of a phone, tablet or even bright room lights. This programme is therefore suitable for anybody who wants to maintain their vision.
