Face Yoga Exercises

Most people hold tension in their faces, whether through facial expressions or too much time in front of a screen. All these daily activities cause patterns in how we use our face and the specific muscles we recruit.

This is why we want to focus more on releasing and softening our faces to let go of these patterns and any held facial tension.

You can think of face yoga as a gentle form of “strength training” for you face and neck muscles. The more you repeat certain face yoga exercises that target different parts of your face, the more you may notice that the muscles and skin start to slightly change for the better.

Based on what we know about facial exercises in general, the face yoga method seems to work in these ways:

  • Stimulates facial muscles, helping improve their tone and “tightness.” This can explain why it may help some people experience reduced signs of aging, such as sagging.
  • Increases blood flow/circulation to the skin, which can be helpful for clearing skin.
  • Reduces strain and tension in the face muscles that are caused by repeated facial expressions throughout the day, such as squinting. Massage and acupressure techniques are also incorporated into the face yoga method, helping relax key points in the face that tend to become tense
