"Teaching face yoga has become more of a passion than I ever dreamed. Witnessing the changes in peoples spirits and faces when they reclaim the responsibility of self care is beyond rewarding."
"You wear your emotions on your face."
​
That's what I've been told all my life. I remember the first time my Mother made me aware of how much my face expressed without even being cognizant of it.
​
I was only about 18/19... that was 14 years ago! I had just hung up the phone with a friend when she asked me why I was furrowing my eyebrows. I wasn't upset. I had no reason to be looking so.
I thought to myself it was peculiar that for no reason I looked angry.
​
Becoming aware of how I used my face at such a young age fascinated me.
Through out my adolescence and many of my adult years experiencing depression and anxiety assisted me with understanding the body mind connection.
​
It wasn't until I was 28, living in Indonesia, continuing to develop my understanding of the mind body relationship, that I found Face Yoga.
​
I had noticed over the last 5 years working for a marketing agency that I was developing a deep line on my forehead. I would seldom catch myself in a reflection while I was speaking with a client, and I was was alarmed at my hyper active eyebrows. I knew they were the culprit of my
lovely forehead line.
​
By the time I was in Bali I could really see what stress looked like. Every time I looked in the mirror I was seeing more lines on my forehead.
​
I wanted to get rid of them but I didn't want to do anything invasive. I've always appreciated natural and organic skin care.
I started researching how to get rid of wrinkles naturally, found a tonne of non-sense, and then finally... FACE YOGA!
Immediately I started practicing exercises for the forehead and within a few weeks the line began to fade! I was so amazed with how effective it was, I continued practicing poses for different areas of the face. Seeing the incredible changes it made to the complexion of my skin, and the sculpture of my face, I was hooked.
​
Fast forward four years, I was living in Portugal, training to become a certified Face Yoga Method Instructor!
​
Today I'm beyond thankful to a have a lifetime skin care regimen that takes care of my face from the inside out. I am honoured to have the privilege of sharing this unique and fruitful practice with you.
