This book presents a collection of stress-reducing techniques and specific exercises targeted at the neglected muscles of the face. Annalise Hagen draws heavily on her expertise as a yoga instructor as well as her past experience as a trained vocalist and stage performer. Her program combines traditional yoga poses with exercises which stretch, strengthen, and tone the muscles of the face, jaw, and neck. Through increased circulation and oxygenation, these specially targeted exercises remove and prevent visible signs of stress and aging.
The Yoga Face offers easy to understand directions and visuals, providing a natural alternative to expensive anti-aging surgical procedures or products. In addition, Hagen provides clear and valuable insights into stress-reducing techniques whose benefits not only improve appearance, but also direct readers toward a healthy and balanced lifestyle.
These techniques include:
Yoga poses • self-massage • breathing exercises • vocal techniques and chants • meditation • nutritional advice
• natural products • stress-reducing behaviors
EDITOR’S NOTE: This book describes “antioxidants” as beneficial components that fight “free radicals.” Our research shows that such terminology is inaccurate. However, the vitamins listed as “antioxidants,” (vitamins A, C, E, and selenium) are indeed healthful nutrients.
