Warrior 2
Lift your right knee in toward your forehead and gently place your foot between your hands. Make sure your left heel is grounded, so that both feet are firmly planted on the ground. Press through your feet to standing, and bring your torso up in alignment over your hips. Angle your back foot so your toes are pointing slightly forward and your heel extends farther behind you. Open your arms straight out and away from your torso, right arm in front of you, and left arm behind you, palms down. Look over your front hand. Bend your right knee so your thigh is parallel to the ground. Stay here for ten long, deep breaths.

Extended Angle Bind
From your extended angle, if there is room, wrap your right arm under your upper thigh. Wrap your left arm around your back and hook your hands together. Lengthen your torso upward. Feel as if you are reaching upward with the top of your head and back through the outside edge of your back foot.
Come back into a down dog and do the routine on your other side.
Blurred Vision
A lot of us spend long hours in front of a computer screen, which can cause dry eye, eyestrain, and
blurred or double vision. A recent study published in Head & Face Medicine reported the effects of eye yoga treatment on professional computer users in Bangalore, India. Employees of a software company
either practiced yoga or took part in recreational activities daily for sixty days. The researchers found
that the yoga group had a 30 percent decrease in eye problems, including dry eye and eyestrain.
However, the recreational group had an increase in eye complaints.
THE BLURRED VISION YOGA CURE
If we spend a lot of our day at the computer, it’s important to combat the eyestrain with yoga. There are
several techniques that can soothe and repair vision. It’s also a good idea to keep recreational computer time to a minimum to avoid further eye damage.
