About Alex & Face Yoga

Hi, I’m Alex!

I had practiced yoga for years, but had never even heard of ‘face yoga’ until I was nearly 50. Ironically, just when I was feeling happier, more relaxed, and more confident than ever inside, my face was starting to tell a different story. I often looked tired or grumpy when I was neither!

Botox, fillers, and other invasive and expensive interventions just weren’t as appealing as they used to be…especially with a new grand baby to spoil and a second kid headed to college!

I went searching for a more natural, holistic approach to beautiful skin and overall well-being and found the Danielle Collins Face Yoga Method. I love that these simple, powerful techniques are backed by science and fit beautifully into my full and busy life.

Today, nearly a decade later, I’m an avid ‘face yogi’ and my skin is smoother, clearer, and more taut than it has been for years. Best of all, my face is a truer reflection of my inner happiness and confidence…even without makeup! (The compliments are the icing on the cake!)

I love helping other women appreciate and embrace the amazing complexity and intrinsic beauty of their own faces. There is nothing better than watching my clients become the best reflection of their inner light with face yoga!

New to Face Yoga?

 

Amazing Face Yoga offers a powerful, holistic approach to enhancing inner and outer beauty and total well-being. We use a powerful synergy between Eastern techniques such as Chinese medicine, Japanese Shiatsu, and Indian Ayurveda…and modern scientific knowledge on skin and muscle tone, resistance training, mindfulness and stress management.

Face Yoga works from the inside out- toning the muscles, relaxing tension, and boosting blood flow. Research suggests that practicing face yoga daily can help your face look glowing, lifted, and healthy. No face lift needed! (And if you have had any type of invasive procedure in the past, regular practice may help delay the need for another one!)

 

Our approach to Face Yoga is unique.

At Amazing Face, we believe in and teach The Danielle Collins Face Yoga Method. Danielle Collins is the world leading face yoga expert and her certification course is approved and accredited by The International College of Holistic Medicine, The Register of Exercise Professionals, and the International Institute for Complementary Therapists.

As an Amazing Face client, you will not only learn exercises or “poses” traditionally associated with face yoga…You’ll also learn facial massage techniques, acupressure, facial relaxation (critical for smoothing lines caused by tension), and natural practices for overall well-being and vibrant health!

 
 

“Every person and every face is utterly unique. Face Yoga is all about showcasing your inner spark…and feeling great doing it!”
