Question 3

Should I remove my makeup before arriving to class?

Accepted Answer

We highly recommend arriving with a clean, washed face and clean hands! As we will be performing self massage techniques and touching our faces with our hands, clean skin and hands are really important. Additionally, as the heat in the room opens up your pores for a deep cellular sweat, having clean skin allows your pores to breathe fully and maximize the detoxifying benefits of the practice.

Consistency is key when it comes to face yoga! For the best results, we recommend practicing Face Yoga at least twice a week .

The room is pleasantly warm at around 88 degrees. This comforting heat will warm the facial muscles allowing you to work deeper and safely while also boosting circulation while we perform the face exercises, self administered face massage and sculpting techniques.

We add resistance to certain exercises by using our hands. This technique is akin to performing a workout with weights on your face, effectively building strength and tone.

How soon can I see results from Face Yoga?

Accepted Answer

You can notice results from your very first class! After just one hour of targeted facial exercises, massage, and gua sha techniques, you'll be amazed at the transformation. While immediate improvements are possible, regular practice is key to maintaining muscle strength. The more you practice, the better you'll get at isolating and effectively exercising the targeted muscles, leading to a sculpted and youthful appearance. Aim for regular practice twice a week for optimal results.

Question 8

Can I do Face Yoga if I have had botox or fillers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you had botox or fillers you can still do face yoga. Most of the time, you’ll have to wait 6 weeks after the botox injection before starting with facial exercise or facial massage. Keep in mind that facial exercises can make botox injections wear off a bit faster. You’ll might also have some difficulty activating the muscles from the start since botox paralyzes the tissue around the wrinkles. Talk to your doctor first and make sure to get a green light for facial exercise. ​With fillers, it depends on where they are. If you just had fillers in your lips, you can exercise the rest of the face. Avoid massaging your lips after having fillers to prevent them from moving around and altering your desired look. If you have had cheek fillers, you’ll probably want to avoid doing cheek exercises for a while. Since the filler can move around before it completely settles. To be on the safe side, wait a couple of weeks and consult your doctor before proceeding with face yoga.
