Introducing Face Yoga Method

The Face Yoga Method is something I came across online about a year or more ago. At the time I was looking for ways to give my face a helping hand as I felt I had aged a fair bit after going through cancer. After trying some of the free poses on the FYM Youtube channel I was hooked. I find the exercises meditative and relaxing, which is an added bonus, as well as toning. We all think about exercising our bodies so why not add facial exercises too!

Face Yoga Method were kind enough to explain a little about themselves to Womb Cancer Info.

Face Yoga is an easy, fun and painless way to look younger in weeks without resorting to surgery, chemicals or pills. This revolutionary but simple system of facial exercises has already become wildly popular in author and Face Yoga expert Fumiko Takatsu’s native Japan, and with her move to California, her runaway bestseller The Ultimate Guide to the Face Yoga Method is now available in English and as a downloadable e-book.

Takatsu discovered the perfect way to tone facial muscles and get rid of sagging skin after a car accident led to postural problems, which ultimately affected the way the muscles on her face looked. Dismayed to notice rapid aging in her face after the accident, she began to do facial exercises to tone the muscles and realign her features. She was pleasantly shocked to find that face yoga not only “rehabbed” her post-accident face, but took years off her look within weeks.

“The face is made of muscle,” Takatsu says, “So it’s logical that toning all the tiny little muscles would improve the overall look of a person’s face. The trick is to do the right exercises.” Takatsu had already been practicing yoga for decades when she discovered the power of doing facial exercises to prevent and reverse aging. She applied the basic tenets of yoga to create a unique facial exercise method, and went on to become the popular Face Yoga advocate of Japan.

Takatsu has so far written five books on the Face Yoga Method, which have been translated into Chinese, Korean and Thai and sold in China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Taiwan, Korea and Japan. She has appeared on over 30 television and radio shows including popular Japanese shows such as Onee-‐mans, Kinsuma and Omoikkiri Terebi; was the subject of a one-‐hour documentary called Solomon Ryu; and appeared on the Korean television show Starking. She has also been featured in over 90 Japanese magazines including Seventeen, More, Nikkei Woman, Tarzan, Bila andYogini.

Takatsu carefully trains other Face Yoga teachers and has so far personally certified five teachers to impart this priceless method internationally. Everyone who tries it raves about the Face Yoga Method!

Thank you Face Yoga Method.
