Eye Movement and Balance
The muscles around and within the eyes, just like any other muscles, need regular movement to stay healthy. Also, there's a tendency for the body to move in the direction of the eyes - which is fine unless you need to look one way but intend for your body to go another. The visual system also assists with balance. In this class we'll explore the motions of the eyes, work on the dexterity to move the body and eyes independently of one another, and play with how changing or removing our visual cues can help develop better balance and coordination.
