Anyone who knows anything about the mind body connection will know that our muscles and tissues store our emotions, and when you work those muscles you are able to release them. This is where I felt Danielle Collins missed the mark. I felt she did not go into enough depth about the benefits of Face Yoga. Sure it can make you look better, but what about the deeper metaphysics of it? What types of emotions are we storing in our facial muscles? Why are we storing them in our face? What are the spiritual meaning of wrinkles or acne? What is happening to us on an emotional level when we perform Face Yoga? er tydeligt beskrevet og hver øvelse tager omkring 1 minut at gøre.

I felt fabulous from the face yoga techniques, particularly the buccal practices as I suffer from TMJ. My skin felt incredible and was zinging all day! I felt also deeply relaxed and grounded.

After this at age 21 I was diagnosed with M.E and was very ill for 18 months. Despite doctors telling me there was no known cure for this illness I was determined to get better and started introducing natural nutrition, relaxation, exercise, Yoga and Pilates in to my life. I then fully recovered and felt an overwhelming desire to help and inspire others to feel healthier and happier in the same way I had been able to help myself, so I completed Diplomas in Face Massage, Professional Relaxation Therapy, Nutrition, Hatha Yoga and Pre and Post Natal Yoga with the British School of Yoga. I also did introductory training in Thai Yoga Massage, Shiatsu, Indian Head Massage, the Alexander Technique, EFT and Meditation.
