You will learn exercises that release tension from the eyes, neck, shoulder and jaw, activate the neuronal connections between eyes and brain, optimize the blood supply to the eyes, eliminate toxins, move and strengthen the eye muscles, support the coordination of both eyes and help the tissue around the eyes to relax.

The nurturing environment creates a safe space to learn to connect with your eyes so that you can sense their needs.

We will look at ways how to stimulate the right and left hemisphere for vision how to bring the body back into balance and stillness, and how to deal with the daily stress.

Vanamala Mayr-Reisch is an eye fitness trainer, a physiotherapist, a certified face yoga teacher, and the founder of Face Yoga Australia.

In 2018, Vanamala founded Face Yoga Australia. Since then, it has grown to include international clientele. She regularly appears in magazines and on the radio and has spoken at the USA Face Yoga Summit 2021. The Disruptors Magazine named Vanamala one of the Top 10 Entrepreneurs Disrupting Their Industry.

Vanamala came across eye fitness and its powerful impact on improving vision in the late 80s when she worked under Georg Buchheit, a well-known eye fitness therapist in Germany.

"Our eyes are the most precious organs we have. We perceive the world around us primarily with our eyes. A smile that touches us, a sunset, a message on the mobile, a look at a book or a newspaper, it's always our eyes that give us these impressions.

No wonder that when our eyesight diminishes, we might feel vulnerability, helplessness or even threatened.

Suddenly the world around us looks blurry or dull. We are missing out on all the beautiful details which make our life vibrant and exciting.

Seeing is a complex process that essentially takes place in the brain. The eyes are the openings through which the light impulses and sensory impressions are received and passed on. If the retina is damaged or the eye muscles are tense and inflexible, the flow of information to the brain is impaired.

The aim of the treatment is to improve the cooperation between the eyes, brain and blood circulation and thus to optimize the flow of information.

Of course, our body posture influences the state of our muscles and our eyesight. In particular, the upper part of the neck and the jaw impact our vision. During the course, we will discover what that means and what you can do.

Take the opportunity to participate in a digital detox and de-stress to find stillness in yourself."

Vanamala is deeply passionate about sharing her extensive knowledge about the body, mind and spirit, acquired over 35 years of working with people.

My mission is to provide professional services in a relaxed atmosphere, which allows you to feel safe.

To show you ways to de-stress and improve your eyesight naturally.

To reach out to your heart and spirit to nurture your vision and encourage you to live your life to the fullest.

After practicing the eye exercises from the last eye workshop for the past few months, I went to my optometrist. He told me that my eyesight and the flexibility of my eyes had improved.

I did eye workshop with Vanamala and really enjoyed it. She is a great teacher, extremely knowledgeable and makes the class fun. I find that it effects my whole body not only my face and eyes and I leave the class totally uplifted and refreshed. I highly recommend her workshops.
