The face reflects our well-being.
When we are surprised or angry, the frown line tightens.
Satisfaction, stress, or pain can also be seen in our face.

A face yoga session begins with a look inward â
an invitation to arrive in the here and now and to relax:
How do I feel right now? How am I breathing?

The face, head, body, and mind are one unit.
Thatâs why face yoga includes specific exercises such as tongue and eye muscle training,
as well as general yoga postures (asanas).

An upright posture is encouraged in face yoga.
When our head rests on a straight spine, itâs easier to carry,
and tension can be reduced.
For this reason, a flow to strengthen the trapezius muscle is just as much a part of face yoga
as a flow to activate and relax the entire facial musculature,
or individual muscles or muscle groups in the face.

This fitness strengthens and loosens our 30+ facial muscles,
improves circulation in the skin, tones connective tissue, and stimulates lymphatic flow.
Facial massage, visualization exercises, specific energy work,
and relaxation techniques have just as much a place in face yoga as meditation.

A sunflower has a round face that suits face yoga wonderfully.
Or it can symbolize an eye â donât you think?
Or it can symbolize an eye â donât you think?
đť Seeing it as an eye symbol makes sense, eyes really are the windows to so much of our expression and feeling.
The eye muscles are very important, and since we use our eyes constantly, their muscles often become tense.
Roll your eyes slowly in one direction for a few rounds, then gently roll them to the other side.
You can do this slowly or in rhythm with the sounds around you, like passing cars.
Then close your eyes for a minute and give them some rest.

The Yoga-Lion
We can relax the tongue, eyes, and jaw muscles through the yoga lion.
The gaze goes upward, specifically engaging the eye muscles.
You can place a hand on your forehead to prevent frowning.
The jaw drops open in a relaxed way, and the tongue stretches out into the world with a loud "Baaahhh!"

Give them a moment of rest and tune in to yourself.

How is your breath flowing?
Are your exhales longer than your inhales?
That would be a sign of relaxation.

 Tongue Muscle
In face yoga, the tongue is stretched and extended
to strengthen and relax it.
This allows the breath to flow more freely through the mouth and throat.
