 Face yoga? We explain to you

Could facial yoga increase the effects of our cosmetics tenfold? In order to have an answer, we interviewed Farah Assaad Yassine, expert in yoga and nutrition. At the head of several training courses on the subject, she explains her journey and the benefits of facial yoga or face yoga teacher training.

1- Could you introduce yourself?

My name is Farah Yassine, I am Lebanese. Basically I am a lawyer, after my move to Morocco I discovered Yoga and I fell in love with this practice. Curious to know more, I did 2 Yoga trainings: one of 200 hours, and another of 300 hours. As well as a specialization in Yin Yoga, Ayurveda and Face Yoga.

As I love to lead a healthy life, I did a training in nutrition and anti-aging diet.

My passion is to share yoga around me and to help people find their way back to themselves.

2- What does facial yoga consist of?

Face Yoga is a practice that consists of strengthening, stretching and massaging the muscles of the face to prevent and / or reduce wrinkles, redraw the contour and give a boost to the skin.

Muscle strengthening of the face, like muscle strengthening of the body, helps to tone the muscles, redefine the contour, and prevent sagging of the skin attached to these muscles.

Stretching helps loosen the muscles that are overworked and that, over time, create those lines called wrinkles.

Massages, especially if done with good products such as Nuhanciam Hydra Intense cream, promote lymphatic circulation and give radiance to the skin.

3- What is the gesture to absolutely know and how to perform it well?

The most important thing in Face Yoga is to learn to control the involuntary contractions of the face. This is “conscious botox”. Instead of paralyzing the muscle with external products, we learn, through breathing, to relax the muscle. 

4- What is the link between classical yoga and facial yoga?

Facial Yoga, like classical Yoga, is based on the idea of ​​self-awareness through the breath. In addition, several yoga postures are beneficial for the face, such as downward facing dog and inversions that bring blood flow back to the face. The dog heads up meanwhile, strengthens the neck.

There are also breathing exercises that help to give radiance to the face, such as nadi shodana and kaplabhati...

Besides, it is even said that the people who edit me have much more relaxed features…
