Facial yoga; 5 miraculous exercises for facial beauty

 You've probably heard of facial yoga. In facial yoga, contrary to yoga sequences, there are no movements such as downward dog or downward dog or chaturanga, because these yoga exercises are specific to the facial muscles. Of course, the same principles of yoga govern them; It means training the muscles to look stiff. According to Fumiko Takatsu, the creator of the facial yoga method, with a few minutes of stretching a day, the sagging of the facial muscles will disappear and these muscles will tighten. To make sure we get the most out of these few minutes of practice, we do 4 of his suggested exercises. These exercises straighten facial lines, eliminate drooping eyelids, shape cheeks, tighten neck skin, and so on. Join us to see the step-by-step instruction of these exercises.
