Sir Paul McCartney Does Yoga 6 Times a Day, Shows You How To Do it Too

And you thought YOU loved yoga!  Well, don’t be blown away yet.  You see, the 66 year old ex-Beatle, Sir Paul McCartney, does practice yoga six times a day but it’s not the yoga you know and love, it’s eye yoga!  The singer discovered the “workout” on a trip to India last year and hasn’t stopped doing it since. 

In a television interview, the musician demonstrated his odd new workout, during which he stares in different directions and holds his gaze for 20 seconds at a time. He was taught the routine by an eye yoga expert at a hotel in India.

McCartney says,

“He told me eyes are muscles (and) are just like any other muscles, and they need exercise to keep them working properly. Spending so much time at computers or (watching) the TV or reading books, we are only using one set of muscles in our eyes. The yoga gives a workout to the other ones.”

The singer claims he indulges in an eye workout up to six times a day.

And, now he will show you how to do it too!  According to Now magazine, after Sir Paul revealed that The Beatles’ music is entering the gaming genre in a new Rock Band game which will specifically focus on music by the Fab Four, the singer thought it was important to demonstrate the techniques on the video game to help fans to ensure that their eyes remain in perfect shape.
