What inspired you to become a facial yoga teacher?
I was initially drawn to facial yoga not for beauty reasons, but for the way it made me feel. Practicing it personally, I discovered its benefits for mental well-being, self-appreciation, and confidence. As I continued, I realized how it also positively impacted physical appearance, making it a holistic practice that helps people feel good inside and out.
What exactly is facial yoga, and how does it work?
Facial yoga trains the muscles in the face much like how we train the body at the gym. It involves both static and dynamic exercises tailored to individual needs. It strengthens and tones facial muscles, improves circulation, and promotes radiance. I always start sessions with a full-body warm-up because everything in the body is connected, and end with a cool-down for relaxation and breathing.
What are the benefits of facial yoga compared to traditional skincare or cosmetic treatments?
Unlike creams that work only on the surface, facial yoga works at a deeper level by strengthening facial muscles. It improves blood circulation, skin elasticity, and reduces stress. It can also support post-surgical recovery by encouraging discipline, positive mindset, and helping with scar tissue management and swelling reduction.
Who can benefit from facial yoga? Is it for everyone?
Absolutely, it’s for everyone. Younger individuals can use it as a preventative tool, while others can benefit from its rejuvenating effects. One of the biggest universal benefits is stress reduction, which everyone can appreciate, regardless of age.
What results can people expect, and how long do they take to appear?
For non-surgical clients, noticeable changes usually start within a month, with more apparent results after three months. However, this depends on lifestyle, skin condition, and consistency. For post-surgery clients, benefits such as reduced swelling and improved recovery can appear much sooner. Importantly, these exercises offer lifelong benefits if continued regularly.
