WHAT IS FACE YOGA?
Face yoga is a series of facial exercises intended to lift, tone and activate your facial muscles to achieve a more youthful look and improve your skin’s appearance.
Furthermore, face yoga stimulates and improves the blood flow, which increases collagen and elastin production, resulting in tighter and plumper skin. Improving blood circulation has additional benefits such as improving concentration and combating headaches.
Studies have proven that daily exercise can reduce signs of aging. It activates the parasympathetic nervous system releasing oxytocin throughout your body delivering a positive impact on your overall wellbeing. I consider this vital for you to not only look your best but also to be happy in life. And combining this with high-quality and efficacious everyday skincare products, is your everyday routine to Timeless Skin Wellbeing.

Here are the five aspects of NAYA's Face Yoga Method
Face exercise
We all know the muscles in our body need toning through regular exercise, but so do many of the 57 muscles in our head, face and neck to firm and smooth the skin attached.
Face massage
Massaging the face is such an important part of Face Yoga. It helps boost our circulation, improve lymphatic drainage and reduce our facial tension. This means we can enjoy glowing, healthy and vibrant skin.
Face relaxation
Some muscles in our face need to be exercised, but some muscles which hold stress and are overused in the wrong way need to be relaxed. This can help with our overall well-being and comfort as well as reduce and prevent repetitive stress-related expression lines.
Acupressure
Acupressure is derived from ancient Eastern traditions and is a key tool in my method. As well as helping the skin look glowing and healthy, it has many deeper benefits for our wellbeing and health, as it helps our 'qi', 'prana' or life force energy flow effectively.
Wellbeing
Feeling good on the inside is the key to great health and great skin. When we feel good on the inside, this radiates out through our face. Positive affirmations, breathing, nutrition, skincare and self-care are key aspects of my method, which I love sharing for an inner and outer glow.

FAQs
Face Yoga is a natural way of looking and feeling younger and healthier. It has five main parts to it: face exercise, face massage, acupressure, relaxation, wellbeing.
No not if you do it in the correct way. Wrinkles are caused by repeated expressions and we aren't doing that. We are doing controlled exercise with resistance (and checking our faces to ensure they remain smooth throughout) using all 3 layers of skin together. We do gently massage and relaxation too. Studies show that Face Yoga reduces wrinkles and doesn't cause them but make sure you learn techniques from a qualified professional online or in person.
If you know me by now, you know that I like things that are proven by science! :)
In January 2018 a key study done at Northwestern University showed that 20 weeks of Face Yoga,
30 minutes day can make the face look 3 years younger. Also, a BBC study of two twin doctors showed that the doctor that did Face Yoga for 1 month looked 1 year younger. There have also been multiple studies of the benefits of massage, acupressure, deep breathing and relaxation which all form a key part of my method.
If you want to look and feel glowing and healthy then Face Yoga is for you. It's never too late to start, At any age you can lift and tone a muscle, boost circulation, lymphatic drainage and relaxation tension. It is never too early to start Face Yoga either. Plus it's great for men and women.
Results vary from person to person. The key is regular daily practice. So if you can do anything from 2 minutes to 50 minutes per day you will see results. You will see and feel some results immediately but more significant results within a week. For longer lasting results it takes some people 6 months. Combining with a healthy lifestyle, high-quality skincare products and enjoying the relaxing benefits speeds up results too.
Yes, you can easily do the face yoga poses, because we are working on the inside muscles. However, I don’t recommend doing massages, because too much stimulation can lead to infections and breakouts.
Face Yoga is gentle and effective for most people but if you have any health issues or skin concerns please check with your doctor prior to starting Face Yoga and always work to your own level.
Face Yoga is a great alternative to invasive procedures. Please check with your practitioner/ surgeon/ doctor prior to starting Face Yoga if you have had surgery or injectables.
