Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello. Welcome to face yoga. And let's begin. Inhale, Shoulders up. Exhale, Roll them back and down. Two more. Inhale. Excellent. Inhale. Thanks. Beautiful now for the neck we are going to do two self-lymphatic massages that are really really amazing for this area. And also we're gonna warm up the back of the neck and sides. Why don't we begin with a few seated cat cows? Um, They're really, Really, Uh, Impressive, Um, For, Uh, Helping all this area and warming up the face as well. I usually add arms. So we're going to inhale, Head up and arms going behind. We're going to exhale, Chin to chest, Arms go forward. So about 10 rounds on your own, Inhale, Exhale. And if you could, Elongate your breath so that you let the breath guide the movement and not the other way around so basically you stop short when you stopped inhaling or when you stopped exhaling so let the breath guide the movement exhale chin to chest inhale lift up and we're warming up Um. . . This area and we're also taking care of the neck and shoulders here. Inhale. And then exhale. Inhale. I'm going to do one more. Inhale. Exhale beautiful now shoulder blades will be back and down as much as possible we're gonna so these are your collarbones if you bring the shoulders forward you're gonna find them We're going to place one hand on the collar bones. Just like this and the other one at the jaw and we're gonna sweep and swap and say yum at the same time lifting the cheeks helping here with jowls a little bit um we're also lifting the chin and we're helping the neck muscles but See how the shoulders are coming forward. I'd like for you to consciously bring them back and down and keep that chest square. Chin is lifted, Left the corners of the lips. When we sweep and swap, We're going to be very, Very gentle as if we're sliding feathers down the neck. And with each stroke, We say, Audibly or not, Yum. Yum. Lift those corners of the lips. Feel your cheeks lifting. Yum. So at least 10 times. There's no distress at the back of the neck. The lifting of the chin is comfortable. Yum. Yum! Yum. Yum, Release, Take a breath. You probably can feel it. I can feel the release and the lightness on my neck. I will show you the picture that I love the most, Um, With lymph nodes in this area. We're going to go side of the ear, So both sides and we're sliding all the way to the collarbones. Notice the row of lymph nodes here. So sliding all the way and at least 10 times. You don't have to say yum anymore, But you can lift your chin as far as available. You can close your eyes here, Breathe. You can still lift the corners of the lips in that smile. Teaching the risori to pull a little harder and maybe give us a few dimples here and those little lifted Lines, Corners of the lips lifting upwards instead of downward. Such a big difference on the face. Those little lines look so good. Upward and so bad downward. Take another breath. Hmm. And release. We're going to engage here. So we're going to engage the neck. We're going to engage this area for jaws and we're going to work on the lips as well and eyes at the same time. So big combo. I'm going to turn my head so that you can see. Pat the lips as if we're trying to kiss, But also blow candles. It's like a small O and we're doing it with as few extra lines as possible. So when I make my pouch, I usually make sure that there's the least amount of lines possible. Small o like you're blowing candles, But also kisses. And we're gonna look at the ceiling. So lift the chin, Pucker the lips as if you're blowing candles, Looking at the ceiling. Now with the eyes, I'd like for us to squint here. You know that when you're squinting, You form lines on the forehead, Then hold on to the forehead with one hand. If not, You don't have to do that. We're going to do 10 rounds of 5 seconds, So it's about It's not going to take you too long. But if you're not used to this, It's a big combo, So it might hurt. Take a breath, Take a break. It doesn't matter how small. You also can write this down and do it later if you feel that you can't do it right now. Let's do it. I'm excited. Commanding five mshtp here and screening and release. Breathe. This was one. Two. Release squint, Squint, Squint, All the squint. All the power to you Four. This is 5, Yeah? Release Going for six. And release. Now feel the pull, It's right here, So the neck muscles, The muscles from here, So diminishing jaws, Diminishing turkey neck. Eyes are working, My lower lids are inert so I'm not going to get the squinting that you could get. We're trying to bring the upper lids closer to the lower lids and lower lids closer to the upper lids without them touching and we're holding that pressure and tension from both sides. Let's do it. Seven yeah Three more. Kate? Maya release, Breathe. Nine. And. I'm hurting. There's been a movement at the jaw for me here too. Take a breath, Take a break. Release, Let go. Mmmmm. All right. We're going to do one more exercise here. It's called a tongue lift. The tip of the tongue right at the back of the roof of the mouth. If we're trying to swallow it. And then we're pressing the flat of the tongue firmly against the roof of the mouth. We're uh Smiling widely. And swallowing. And then we're holding for 10 seconds. Let's do at least three times. Three to five times, But let's do three to four times, Okay? Now this will help with the jaw, With the jaws, With the neck, Turkey neck. If you want to engage your eyes, You can look up and hold on to the forehead and you are exercising the orbicularis oculi, The eye muscles. And let's do it. So about 10 seconds we're holding that. And we're smiling widely. We're looking up if we want to engage the eyes. And we're going to do four sets. Let's do four sets. Let's do it. So we're going to take a few breaks in between. And release. You can close your eyes especially if you look up. You're probably feeling your cheeks, You know? Take a breath, You can pause. Swallowing or trying to swallow while smiling widely and having the tongue up there. It's tough. Let's do it again. And release. Now we're definitely patting cheeks. Can we do two more? Breathe. Relax, Release. Hmm. Two more. Let's do it. And release. Ow. Go ahead and pat, Pat, Pat. And breathe. And release. Hmm. Breathe. Now, Let the jaw drop, Really. Let the jaw and mouth drop big, Big O. Let it sag here. We're going to close the eyes and we're going to breathe five times with the jaw dropped like that and mouth really, Really open. Let's do it. And release. Lots of work in this area. More for the eyes and forehead. We're gonna bring the. . . Hands like blades sides of the face yeah so there's a little pull I'm already 10 years younger, If not more. So we have this little pool here and we're going to really just look side to side with the eyes. Now because we're holding there's not gonna be movement from the head happening. And we're sort of keeping the skin taut here. So I'm helping diminishing lines at the sides of the eyes, But we're gonna look side to side and I'm gonna guide you. So inhale, Look left, Just corner to corner, Side to side, Exhale, Right. Inhale left it's like you're rolling your eyes from one side to the other exhale right Inhale, Laugh. Excel right, We're going to do one more Inhale and exhale. Exhale, Right. Close your eyes. Breathe here. You can release the hands or not, Your choice. This is really helpful for peripheral vision, Really helping the eye muscles be stronger, More blood flow into the eye area, More oxygenation. We're gonna begin from the other side four times again, So. Inhale, Right. So corner to corner. Exhale, Lift. Inhale and raise. Exhale left, Two more slowly, Inhale right, Exhale left, Last one, Inhale right. Excellent. And release. Take a breath. You can close your eyes. With the ring fingers, We're gonna begin from here and we're just going to slide. I will show you the acupressure points for eye strain relief. Now, Notice I'm barely touching the skin. The skin around the eyes is 10 times thinner than the skin on the face. So if you feel that you're dragging it, Instead of sliding, Just go gentle tapping, Yeah? So at least 10 times here. You are helping to diminish puffiness above and under the eyes, Increasing blood circulation and oxygenation in this area, As well as a bit of lymphatic drainage. There are lymph nodes around here. And not to mention, Like I said, There are. . . 6 acupressure points for eye strain relief. Does so many things. It is incredible, So I advise. You can do it every day. So here we go. All six points. It really takes very very little. And also always remember to not drag the skin. Tap, Tap, Tap. And release. Take another breath. Mm hmm. Another one that I really really love, Bringing the fingertips just on the upper arch of the eye socket bone and just flicking the fingers out. So 10, 15, 20 times here. Go ahead. Depending on how fast you are or just flicking out. Breathe. No nails yeah and it's hard sometimes it's really really hard to not scratch the skin here but try try try it's really important Air release. Breathe, Close your eyes. We're gonna rub the hands, So really get maximum pressure. Heat over here. Heat and energy, Right? So we're gonna. . . Get the palms really, Really heated. And we're going to place the closed eyes into the center of the heated palms. We're also lowering the face so that it is parallel with the seat or the floor. And we're breathing this heat. Through the eye. At least three times. We're going to do it twice, So let's do it. Breathe here, Feel that heat. Really relaxing and restoring. It's also something that you can always do. If your eyes are tired. Teeth are not touching or relaxing the jaw here. Gonna do it again. Take another breath. When the eyes feel rested. So good, Right? With the knuckles of one fist, We're going to go one way, Making accolades onto the forehead. Stop at the temples. We don't want to press on the temples. Five to ten times depending on how fast you're going. Pressure is yours. And then we're going the other way. I call them accolades because my My forehead is too small for me to make circles. Breathe. And release. Hmm. Also with the knuckles, Beginning from the center, We're sliding up to the temples. Again, Pressure is yours. Close your eyes, Release the jaw, Teeth are not touching. Just breathe. No tension at the back of the neck. And release. Take another breath. We're gonna go at the hairline and tips of the fingers. Again, Find your pressure here. We are circling one direction first. And then the other way. About 15 times or so. Keep the eyes closed, Enjoy this. Sorry about this. There's puppy and child standing here. Come. Here we go. There we go, Thank you. There we go, I'm here. We're gonna tap, So from the hairline, We're gonna go tap, Tap, Tap, All the way to the collar bones. Breathe. Take another breath and let it go. Hmm.
