I created this series after realizing that most face yoga out there is focused on anti-aging and eliminating lines and wrinkles to look young and taut. I find this to be quite offensive, this perpetuates an ageist culture that profits off your insecurity and self-loathing. Every morning we wake up into these bodies is an absolute miracle and mystery. Aging is truly a gift – if you choose to see it that way. There’s a way to celebrate your form with appreciation and non-attached reverence that comes from the heart, not the ego. When we connect to that aspect of ourselves that is timeless and eternal love, we’re less likely to overidentify with our physical form. This releases us from attachment and suffering when our form changes as we travel through time and space. If you are someone who is ready to dismantle the negative attitudes about aging our culture imposes upon us, while optimizing vibrancy and embracing your natural beauty, then this series is for you! You will be learning exercises to strengthen and tone the facial muscles. You’ll learn tips to enhance your vitality. You’ll create healthy daily practices for cultivating more awareness, self-care, and self-love. And you’ll hopefully have some fun along the way and make lots of silly faces. It is my intention to help you create more oomph and aliveness while also deepening into who you truly are. It’s time to embrace your uniqueness and to honor and appreciate how your face expresses your unique life experience and wisdom. It’s time to fully embody your inner radiance.
