face yoga

a special thanks to TIME magazine for making it possible for women everywhere to exercise their face as much as the rest of their bodies.















the marilyn monroe- repeated blowing kisses like a starlet makes for stronger lips and a firmer pout.















the lion- work on all the facial muscles by squinching up your face as tight as you can and then releasing it.














the buddha- a subtle relaxation pose to release unconscious facial clenching or tightening.















free your tongue- the tongue needs to be stretched and toned. any tingling means the pose is working.















satchmo- puffing your cheeks as though you were about to blow a trumpet will keep them supple.















temple dancer eyes- by darting your eyes in different directions, you can erase crows feet.















surprise me!- widening your eyes while keeping your forehead steady is a great brow smoother.















baby bird- to help firm the cheeks, chin and neck, this pose is an antidote to pesky jowls.















bumblebees- lip vibrations tone the mouth area and cheeks while helping to release jaw tension.
