Face Yoga For Natural Facelift

Hello and welcome to the Oma show. I have not done a face yoga video for a while on my YouTube channel. So today I thought let me put together something that you can do very easily at home for the entire face. So anti-aging face yoga. I have been doing face yoga for ages now. If you've been following me on YouTube or on my Instagram and other social media pages you know I am a big fan of face yoga and it's something that has really changed the way I look and feel over the years and I'm so grateful to this practice and I am very regular and these are just simple methods that I've incorporated into my daily beauty ritual a self-care ritual that I've been doing for years and so today I put together a method that is very easy to follow. You can follow along or you can just learn it and do it whenever you want to do it. There are just few postures that I'm teaching you but they're all very very effective. So let's get going with it. Face yoga has many benefits. If you have been following there's so many face yogis now if you've been following then you know the benefits but a few very key benefits are that it more regularly you do more you activate facial muscles. Now like we have muscles on our body we have muscles almost more than 50 muscles on our endemic neck and face area and these are smaller muscles they take different kind of work than your body muscles and that's why you need to be more regular with face yoga or face massage or whatever that you're doing but these muscles to start getting activated and then eventually get toned and firm and these are very easy to do exercises so if you start to enjoy it or create a ritual out of it then it'll be easier for you to stick to it and that's always the case and that's why I always tell people don't do it as a routine do it as a ritual. Face yoga regularly also increases blood circulation it basically helps in lymphatic drainage it also helps in fascia adhesion release it also helps in taking all the nutrients that our skin and muscles need to its right place and if you are consistent with it it will definitely lift and tone your face. So today we are going to do a full face we start from the neck full neck and face anti-aging face yoga. So if you want to create a ritual out of it you can pause this video right now and maybe light a candle have some essential oil around you some kind of music that you love relaxing music and then start off we start off always with a bit of breath work which always kind of brings you to your center and also in the present moment so you can keep both your hands on your abdomen or on your chest and just breathe in and breathe out. Long breaths in and breaths out. Now we'll start the yoga with a little bit of stretching we'll keep our hands here yet and then we'll just stretch out our entire neck. So we'll look up, keep there for 10 seconds, come back to your center keep your left hand on your left shoulder, right hand on your right arm, sorry left side of your head and stretch, 10 seconds, come back to your center right hand on your right shoulder, left hand on the right side of your head, stretch for 10 seconds, keep breathing throughout. You can repeat this a few times maybe five times each, you can go up five times and this and this one five times each. Once you're done with the stretching we'll start with the yoga moves. We are going to target our neck first one more time, O, one more time, O for 10 seconds, you can feel the stretch right on your entire face if you're not doing any of these and just do this is effective enough actually every day. Once you're done with that now we are going to work on the same area but in a little different way, working the muscles in a different way now. So you basically cover your upper teeth with your upper lip and lower teeth with your lower lips and you close your mouth and open for 10 seconds and towards the end keep it for 10 seconds like this and keep the mouth open. So you worked out this entire area and now we're going to work on our cheek area for that we go back to this place of covering our lower teeth and lower upper teeth with our mouth and just move these these muscles these once these muscles get strengthened then the entire face gets lifted like a lot of people ask me do you do fillers on my cheeks no this is this particular exercise that makes my cheek look so lifted and this is the one so you see I'm moving this muscle and if you're doing it for the first time it's not the easy one to do it takes some time to practice because this muscle is lying lazy on your face for years so for you to activate it it will take some time but with practice you will be able to do it and it's no rocket science it's all practice and once you understand the facial anatomy it'll be easier for you to move this muscle all you're doing is covering your lower teeth covering your upper teeth with your lips and moving these muscles let's do it for 10 times let's do one more round if you do it two rounds like this you will feel your face sore next day for sure that's a promise so that means your muscles are working that's great once we are done with this whole area and the cheek we are going to move towards our eyes again a problem area for a lot of us all right so now we'll move towards our eyes again a problem area for a lot of us the skin around our eyes are very very delicate the muscle around our eye called orbicularis oculi which if over time sitting lazy if you're not really exercising those muscles then all the fat from this area comes down here and then just your muscles cannot hold it and then comes here and we see these droopy eyes hollow eyes and all of those issues that a lot of us have it dark under eye circles all of that so we need to activate this whole area if you're not doing anything here then obviously all these things are going to take over so how do we do it one simple exercise that i'm going to give you that really is very very effective so you take your fingers and v-shape and keep around your eyes like this and gaze at one point whatever point right now i'm gazing at the camera and then you basically are taking these muscles up towards your eyelid upper eyelid but you're not closing the eye completely so this is what and then release it let's do it 10 times easy to do i hope you got it fingers here for the support and you're taking this muscle up towards the upper eyelid and releasing it 10 times you can do another round of it if you want place these fingers here again lightly not pressure you'll feel this entire muscle working out now we'll move towards our forehead forehead is again a problem area for a lot of us the lines come here faster you have all these forehead lines 11 lines and all of that so we need to strengthen this frontalis muscle and how do we do that we don't want any lines getting created while we are doing face yoga so we're going to keep this entire hand on our entire palm on our forehead and what we're going to do is lift our eyebrows and then release it so basically we are this muscle will be resisting it right and that is the workout for the frontalis muscle so we keep the palm so that we don't create lines here but at the same time we work out the muscles without creating those lines so we'll take the eyebrows up and release release 10 times amazing you can do maybe two to three rounds of it so if you've done it with me you can feel your full face being stretched out right how i like to end is again do a little bit of stretching the ones that we started with some breath work hands here all on it and then the most important thing that i like to do is keep give myself one to two minutes or longer if i have and imagine that all my facial muscles are stretched out and lifted visualization is so powerful and i've always believed in it in every aspect of my life and especially in this aspect of my life of the way i want to look i visualize it and that's why i have beauty meditation so you could actually after this session go on to my beauty meditation which is a natural facelift meditation but if you don't have i'm going to share the link below if you don't have that kind of time just sit down wherever you are in this moment and you will just imagine for a couple of minutes that your face is lifted you're looking youthful your skin is glowing and you you will visualize all of that that you want for so let's do that imagine all your facial muscles are activated and lifted imagine your face is looking toned and lifted and sculpted imagine your skin has that healthy glow that we all love imagine that you're looking fresh and as you imagine this this is a great time to say an affirmation i'm growing beautiful and youthful every single day so when you combine all of these modalities together it just becomes such a powerful ritual not only for your beauty but even for your mental health because when you give yourself permission to take care of yourself give yourself time without any guilt attached and do something for yourself you feel good and then the science behind it lymphatic drainage helps mental
