Warm Up – with Scalene Stretches
Scalene Stretches not only warm up the neck. They increase blood flow to the head & brain, and connect the spine & ribs to the lungs for better respiration.
Make them part of your Warm-ups and Cool-downs.
⚠️ Do them SLOWLY. (My video is sped-up for times sake.)
⚠️ Only go as far as to find a COMFORTABLE STRETCH.
⚠️ Always protect the neck when doing any exercise.
Relax the face with Gua Sha
Gua Sha is all about stimulating the lymphatic flow & promoting circulation. I love how these easy-to-hold, mushroomed-shaped tools fit into the contours of the face & how they glide across the skin.
Concentrate on one area, or the entire face & neck always working towards the lymph odes.Don’t be afraid to play around with them. Find what feels good.
Don’t forget to lubricate the face!
Wake Up with Face Yoga
What a great & easy way to start the day!
Gua Sha for Bunny Lines
Bunny Lines appear along & across the sides of the nose. They are created by repeatedly crinkling the muscles when laughing & smiling. they can also develop as a resut of Botox between the eyebrows!
Even if you don’t have these lines, these moves help release the forehead, relieve sinuses and release eye tensions. And they feel good!
Eye Bags Be Gone
Eye Bags be gone!
Puffiness & Dark Circles are more noticeable as we age. Eye-Area Exercises can help.
❇️Remember. The skin here is very delicate. Don’t apply too much pressure or pull.. And make sure the area is well hydrated.
Try to keep the forehead relaxed.
Fight Droopy Eyes & Passive Staring
Fight Droopy Eyes & Passive Staring.
Our eyes crave movement and are more relaxed and, yes, happiest when they are moving.
This pose passively lifts the upper corners of the outer eye muscles , while activating the inner eye muscles. Bonus. We are controlling the forehead to help diminish & prevent lines in this area too!
Get rid of Frown Lines
Do you frown in your sleep? When you are concentrated? Unconsciously during the day?
Learn to relax the forehead and release the eye muscles. Pevent & reduce unwanted forehead and frown lines – with Face Yoga.
Smooth, Plump & Color The Lips
For smoother, plumper, rosier lips grab a Gua Sha tool.
By regularly bringing circulation to the lip area, we help preserve or bring back natural volume, diminish lines, hydrate & add color. These effects can become more permanent over time.
💋 Lips are delicate. BE GENTLE.
💋 Use small strokes along the outer edges.
💋 5 – 10 sweeps are enough.
💋 **DO NOT OVER-STIMULATE. Once a day is enough.
💋 ***NOT RECOMMENDED if we have Botox or fillers, or if we are prone to cold sores.
