Blinking and moving the eyes up and down when at rest is an excellent way to exercise and improve your eyesight. Asanas such as Adho Mukha Svanasana improve vision by increasing the circulation to the shoulders, neck and face which need to be relaxed and energized.
The practice of yoga for hair loss could be the perfect solution for those going in for surgery. Hair loss is usually caused by stress, unhealthy diets, and hereditary factors. Yoga helps in overcoming problems like stress, anxiety and poor blood circulation which are major contributors to hair loss. Poses like the downward facing dog and camel pose are very effective poses for hair loss. The downward facing dog pose helps in improving the flow of blood to the neck and head. The camel pose is also helpful in increasing the circulation of blood in the upper body.
