Facial yoga: The latest craze in India PTI Sunday, September 09, 2007 09:48 IST NEW DELHI: It is less painful than plastic surgery and definitely cheaper than non-surgical injections that temporarily reduce or eliminate wrinkles -- but it can make you look young. Yes, facial yoga -- which gives you the benefits of a face-lift without the danger and expense of surgery -- is the latest craze in India as a number of people, regardless of age, are enrolling themselves for training classes, particularly in the capital. "This yoga for the face is a simple, non-invasive way to erase fine lines and wrinkles. It also reduces sagging skin and restores a radiant, youthful look to one's face and complexion," says Madhavi Padhy, a former stress management and yoga consultant with the United Nations in Vienna. Padhy is one of the few teachers who conducts facial yoga classes in Delhi and Singapore. "The techniques are very easy to learn. These highly specialised exercises lift, firm and tone all 57 muscles of the face and neck, literally turning back the hands of time and restoring a firm, smooth, glowing facial appearance." Among the facial exercises, eye socket massage is the most important one which even an office worker can practice taking a ten-minute break from his or her hectic schedule. This exercise relieves tension and stress from areas around the eyes. It also relaxes the eyes and surrounding facial features. "For practicing this yoga, you have to place both the index and middle fingers of your hands on either sides of your nose just below the bridge and then rub your fingers up to the bridge and along the eyebrows. This exercise needs to be repeated for at least three to five times and the massage is easy to practice," Padhy says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
