How Face Yoga supports inner and outer beauty
Facial Yoga helps us to keep facial muscles firm, toned, supple and healthy. We naturally turn to yoga to improve and sculpt our muscles and to find tone and suppleness in the body. We can do exactly same with facial yoga, bringing that mindful attention and nurturing care to the delicate areas of the face and neck. Facial yoga offers ways to easily and gently work these muscles to naturally reshape and reinvigorate our face and features. By strengthening the underlying structure we can quickly help the skin to have visible, long-lasting results.
Facial contours are sculpted, tired features are plumped and replenished, puffiness is reduced, fine lines and wrinkles are smoothed, the appearance of pores and blemishes is improved.
The face is home to over 50 small muscles that move constantly throughout the day, allowing us to express ourselves and communicate with the world. As we age the skin’s collagen and elastin production slows and it becomes less able to withstand the pull of gravity and stress on the face, leading it to sag develop lines.
Apart from loss of muscle tone there are other factors that come into play over time, such as the slowing down of cellular regeneration, and diminishing levels of hyaluronic acid. The lines and wrinkles stem that appear on the face stem from tension, and the contraction when we experience an emotion. Attending to the deeper needs of the spirit and soul through this gentle nurturing practice can really impact our outer radiance. The mindful awareness of holistic practices like Yoga and Yin Yoga brings real benefits that can be felt, inside and out. These methods will be a wonderful, lifelong guide for you to use morning and evening (5-10 mins) when applying your beauty products daily.
Self-massage and acupressure practices in face Yoga deeply stimulate what the skin looses as we age : collagen production and elastin, by helping to circulate blood, lymph and energy through the connective tissue, muscles and bones. It reduces puffiness, improves the texture of your skin, and results in greater definition. You will feel completely renewed.
In Acupressure, we can tap or massage specific points on the face to both activate the energy circulation, and release both physical and emotional tension. Regenerating the skin’s surface will also prepare the skin for optimum absorption of natural and nourishing beauty products.

I discovered Yoga as a young student, along with the enormous benefits of how moving the body with breathe and awareness helps to maintain good balance and health for everyday life.
I continued to practice daily, and trained as a yoga teacher, whilst working in the financial world for fifteen years, and throughout my pregnancies. I now have a full-time yoga practice, based in Paris, where I live with my family.
In addition to my love of yoga, I have a passion for writing, dancing, and swimming, and I return to Ireland regularly to swim in the rivers and sea there.
Born in southern Ireland, my roots are deeply intertwined with the beauty and magic of the natural world. The connection between holisitc rituals and our energy levels, positive mood and beauty led me to recognise self care, and the use of of natural cosmetics, as an immensely nurturing and healing daily practice.
It was the desire to link these nourishing yoga practices and holistic skincare that brought me to Face Yoga. Face yoga addresses women’s and men’s needs to counter the impact of daily life with gentle and nurturing practices, carried out with a heightened awareness and consciousness, and ultimately introduce us to a more glowing, youthful and radiant skin.

“The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows.”
