In a world of overpromising beauty treatments and miracle products, I believe we all deserve honest, straightforward information about our options. No hype, no exaggerated claims – just the truth about this practice I've come to love and believe in deeply.

Women are typically drawn to face yoga for the aesthetic benefits. But here’s something interesting I’ve noticed: The longer someone practices face yoga, the more they talk about benefits that have nothing to do with how they look.

When I first started practicing face yoga, I expected (ok, well, I was hoping for) physical results—more toned muscles, a lifted look, a brighter, smoother complexion. What I didn't expect was that face yoga turned out to be as much an inner journey as an outer one.

No beauty product in the world—no matter how expensive or "revolutionary"—can ever match the transformative power of a consistent face yoga practice. This isn't something the beauty industry wants us to believe.

Have you noticed how many of the most innovative "new" wellness practices we're seeing on social media and elsewhere these days are actually rooted in ancient wisdom?

Your face is so much more than a collection of features to be judged. It's a living record of your life story — a map of all you've experienced, felt, and overcome.

If I could sit down with my 40-year-old self, here are the three most important things I would share about skin health and beauty. (They might surprise you.)

Taking time for ourselves isn't selfish – no matter what that niggling inner voice might be telling you. It's an absolutely necessary aspect of being the best humans we can be.

In our youth-obsessed culture, aging is typically positioned as something to fear, fight, and hide. But what if we've been looking at it all wrong?

If you had told me ten year ago that I would be a face yoga instructor, I would probably have choked on my tea and said something like "Face what? Is this a joke?"
