EYE CARE PROGRAM
Namaskaram.
My name is Verna B.. I live in Saskatchewan, Canada. I am sixty-three years old and have been wearing glasses since I was ten years old.

In June 2022, I was fortunate to learn the Isha Eye Care Program, Surya Kriya and Surya Shakti in Canada with Angela Powess, an Isha trained hatha yoga instructor. The eye care program works best when hatha yoga is part of the practice.

Within the first few days. I could feel the strength and capability of my eye muscles improving. I could tell my vision was changing because my glasses began to bother my eyes. I wear glasses as little as possible, allowing my eye muscles to work on their own and become stronger. When I do need to wear glasses, I wear a thirty year old pair that are a weaker prescription than my driving glasses so my eyes can still work and strengthen.

A little over two months after I started the daily eye care practice, I had my regular eye checkup. I was overjoyed with the results and not at all surprised! I didn’t tell the optometrist about the eye care program. He confirmed that my eyes had improved; my glasses were now too strong. The sphere (for distance) changed from -5.25 diopters to -4.75 diopters for the right eye and from -4.75 diopters to -4.00 diopters for the left eye!

I have barely just begun and so much improvement already! I may be too old to ever achieve 20/20 vision, but I will strive to keep improving my eyesight. Another side benefit of Surya Kriya/Surya Shakti and the preparation exercises in the Eye Care Program is that my weak, previously injured shoulders are now stronger and more functional than they have been for more than ten years.

I am grateful to Sadhguru for developing these programs and his teacher training programs so that people all over the world can benefit. I am grateful to Sadhguru, Angela , and all the Isha volunteers for their dedication, knowledge and wisdom, and never-ending caring and support.

SURYA KRIYA WORKSHOP
“Angela's course was transformative for me. She is truly authentic and compassionate, which resonates through her words, actions and energy. The approach to the subtle body in Surya Kriya has enriched & shone a light into my experience of yoga overall. Angela supported me in strengthening my subtle body first, which brought my physical body to readiness after just a few weeks, as I initially had a lot of trouble with my wrists and holding some of the postures physically.

This was such a profound experience and I completed my first mandala (practice daily without missing a day for a specified period of time) which felt like an incredible feat and success of self-discipline and respect for myself. While I disconnected from my practice for a chunk of this past year, I have since returned to it and am so grateful every day for the support this practice imbues my everyday life with, and how it helps sustain me!”

SURYA KRIYA WORKSHOP
"I was fortunate enough to be in Angela's first [Surya Kriya] class and am so grateful that I was able to be part of it. Angela is so deeply connected to the power this practice has to positively change one's life. Her dedication and professionalism are evident in every conversation about this practice and carried through the class as well.
She has been extremely supportive in helping each of us who attended the class to feasibly integrate the practice into our daily lives and continues to be there for our questions.
I can honestly say that in my case, life became clearer, easier and fuller for me since taking this class with Angela. You don't have to be flexible, knowledgeable in spiritual themes or yoga technique to benefit from this practice as much as someone who is. I would encourage anyone seeking clarity and a sustained sense of roundedness and growth to take her next class."
