What is face yoga anyway?

Face yoga is a training of facial muscles that helps maintain a youthful appearance in a natural way. The technique is based on creating resistance and resistance and opposite resistance, which is achieved through various movements of the muscles on the face and with the help of the palms. It is an exercise that, when practiced regularly and correctly, brings wonderful aesthetic effects.

The facial muscles are being moved, positioned in the right place where they fill and define. This helps to smooth wrinkles, lift the skin and have a more radiant look. The training speeds up circulation on the face and brings more nutrients to all tissues, muscles, brain and skin. While exercising the facial muscles, the scalp, gums, eyes, mucous membranes and glands in the brain’s centre are also stimulated.

The brain relaxes, clears and cleanses. At the same time, the main glands in the head are ignited, which balances the entire endocrine system. This brings more energy to the whole body, more life to the internal organs and better regeneration of the organism. Face yoga, in addition to the aesthetic level, also affects the mental, emotional and spiritual level of the individual.

Together with Patricija, we prepared a 3-minute ritual, for all beginners. It includes 4 basic face yoga exercises and a simple tension release technique.

Try to feel each exercise, within your capabilities. When performing the exercises, you’ll be able to feel the warmth on your face and, as with any body workout, the tension in your muscles. Slight discomfort may be present, and too much tension, pain, or discomfort is a sign that you are exercising too hard.

Perform the exercises with clean hands. It is recommended to apply a face serum before the ritual and a cream / oil after it. It is also recommended that you do the exercises without make-up, however make-up should not hinder you.
