Product Description
From Amazon.com
"This is yoga because this is union with the eyes," explains Meir Schneider in the introduction to Yoga for Your Eyes. Born legally blind, Schneider underwent many operations as a child but was unable to see more than light and shadow; he had to do all of his schoolwork in Braille. Today he is able to drive a car without use of glasses or contacts, after improving his sight holistically. In this video, Schneider shares his techniques, using movements that originate in two main sources: the techniques of ophthalmologist William Bates and Tibetan yoga.
To begin, Schneider instructs you to remove your contacts or glasses (how he expects you to see the screen clearly enough to follow the exercises is not explained). Then he moves on to "palming," a vision-improving exercise. The instruction is thorough, including directions on how to breathe, and the movements are simple and relaxing. The second segment is "Testing Your Vision," in which you're told to make your own eye chart to graph your improvement. "Stimulating Your Peripheral Vision" is next, and it requires three pieces of black construction paper and tape to help you balance the use of both eyes together. "Outdoor Exercises" explains why older people have more vision difficulties and shows how to improve this problem. The final exercises--"Sunning," "Skying," and "Long Swing"--help you to adapt to bright lights.
Schneider is an earnest instructor, who obviously believes strongly in his methods. If you're looking for a natural way to improve your eyesight, Yoga for Your Eyes is the place to begin. Also included with the video is a 62-page study guide. --Jenny Brown

Worth it's Weight in Gold!,
By Cynthia Sue Larson "Author of Reality Shifts" (San Francisco bay area, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Yoga for Your Eyes: Natural VI (DVD)
The MEIR SCHNEIDER'S YOGA FOR YOUR EYES DVD contains all the essential exercises and materials needed to dramatically improve your vision. After doing just a few of the exercises on YOGA FOR YOUR EYES, I noticed I could focus much more easily on fine print, and my eyes felt relaxed and refreshed! Meir Schneider's instructions are clear and easy to follow, and his life experience of going from being born legally blind to being able to pass his driving exam is inspirational. The DVD format is much better than reading books or tapes for demonstrating eye yoga, because it's the closest thing to attending a yoga for the eyes workshop. Each technique is clearly demonstrated, so it can be quickly learned and easily remembered. I'd read about the Bates methods of sunning, palming, shifting, and swinging... but never before been able to so quickly master these techniques. Explanations are provided for why these and a couple of other techniques make such a big difference in vision, and why modern lifestyles often tend to unnecessarily cause our vision to deteriorate over time. Schneider explains how we can improve our visual perception as we get older by learning to exercise and relax our eyes on a regular basis. YOGA FOR YOUR EYES is worth its weight in gold; do yourself and your eyes a huge favor and watch this DVD as soon as possible! -- Cynthia Sue Larson, author of "Aura Advantage: How the Colors in Your Aura Can Help You Attain What You Desire and Attract Success"

Feel better after just one practice!,
By "zenmaus" (Topeka, KS United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Yoga for Your Eyes (VHS Tape)
At first I couldn't understand how the exercises could help you see better, but give them a try! Coming from a holistic approach this makes the whole body and soul feel better not just the eyes. With continual practice you will notice definate improvement. Easily mixed with other holistic practices or eastern medicine. Or even if you just need a few minutes away from the desk or tv. I practice during commercial breaks! Listen to Meir, take a few minutes, practice the exercises and don't take your sight for granted.

Yoga for your Eyes,
By J. Moshier "Jo" (Mesa, AZ 85205) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Yoga for Your Eyes (VHS Tape)
...Yoga for your Eyes has been very helpful but it takes time and perseverance to follow through. We wish the print in the attached booklet would have been bigger, this is after all, for people with bad eyesight.
