Did you know you can "reverse age" your face naturally by simply exercising and massaging it? Join Alice Inoue, founder of Happiness U, as she shares what Face Yoga is, and takes you through a full facial exercise session which will include facial exercises, depuffing, sculpting, massage and accupressure. Alice became Face Yoga trained and certified after she experienced remarkable results on her own face. In this session, Alice will combine intention setting, with an inner-wellness focus so it becomes a time of ultimate self-care where we work on both inner and outer beauty all at once.

What is Facial Yoga?

Facial Yoga is a natural way of looking and feeling younger and healthier with an added sense of relaxation and well-being. It's a combination of face exercises, face massage, face depuffing, face acupressure and face relaxation. It focuses on all well-being techniques for the mind, body and spirit. In Alice's face yoga classes, she combines the traditional with the modern, meaning that many techniques are rooted in Eastern philosophies and practices that have been used for thousands of years in India, China and Japan. At the same time, she bases the classes on modern research and proven techniques which include the science of the face, how it is composed and how it should be treated.

Her Personal Results

Just as the body needs regular exercise to stay toned and firm, the 57 muscles in the face and neck also need to be exercised. Alice had never exercised her face before, and found facial yoga when her jowls and droopy eyelids started bothering her. Since the muscles in the face are attached to the skin, by toning the muscles, the skin is lifted and naturally reduces sagging, lines and other signs of aging.

Alice's Thoughts on Beauty

Anything you do to make yourself attractive on the outside (cosmetic procedures, clothing, makeup, face yoga, etc.) activates your inner beauty and confidence. Why? We live in a world of balance, and as such, inner beauty and outer beauty complement each other. Outer beauty is not superficial, as some may think, and is intrinsically connected to inner beauty. The key is to realize that both types of beauty play a role in activating the other. Mastering both inner beauty and outer beauty is important because, when one begins to gradually fade, the other will magnificently rise and shine.
