The Book of Face Yoga: The Lost Yoga of the Face — 138 Exercises and Guided Flows to Tone, Release, and Reawaken, from the Lion’s Roar to the Subtle($24.48Value)

Description

138 face-yoga exercises and guided flows — for the brow, eyes, cheeks, jaw, mouth, neck, and the subtle face — with a full eight-week course. By an author who has practiced yoga since 1979 and worked as a therapist since 1991. The body has its postures. The breath has its fire. The face, too, was always part of the path. We work almost every part of ourselves — the spine through asana, the lungs through pranayama, the mind through meditation — yet the one region the world reads first we leave to habit. This volume restores the face to the practice: not as a chase after a younger face, but as an invitation to inhabit the one you have, with awareness and ease. Every exercise is given plainly — what it's for, where it works, how to do it, how to know it's working, and what's easy to get wrong — grouped by region of the face and set beside the yogic practices the face has always belonged to: the locks and seals, yogic gazing, the breath, and the marma points of the subtle face. Guided flows string the exercises into short daily practices, and an eight-week course draws the whole thing into a path you can keep.
