Face Yoga

What to expect

In this 4 week course you will learn face yoga techniques you can carry out on yourself at home and fit into your schedule. Each one hour session will include facial exercises, massage, acupressure and deep relaxation. Each week you'll build on the previous week and be given materials so you can practice at home in-between. Many techniques are rooted in Eastern philosophies and practices which have been used for thousands of years in India, China and Japan and the focus is strongly on inside well-being radiating outwards. Ageing has many causes, including weakening of the face muscles, poor lymph flow, negativity, stress, poor circulation, loosing collagen and elastin and lack of sleep. By using Face Yoga you will enlarge and strengthen the 57 muscles in our face, increasing facial volume and counteracting the effects of age-related fat thinning and skin loosening. The massage will increase circulation and therefore collagen and elastin production, and improve skin brightness and reduce puffiness through lymphatic drainage. The deep relaxations and breathing techniques will release tension and stress from the face and body. Who can do Face Yoga? Everyone can enjoy Face Yoga. Some adaptions may need to be made for certain skin conditions which will be explained in the class. For anyone who has had a face lift, please check with your surgeon and for anyone who has fillers or Botox please wait 3 weeks. If you have any ongoing health concerns please speak with your GP before attending. What do I need to bring? Please arrive with a make-up free and cleansed face and wash your hands on arrival.
