Anti Aging Yoga Poses


Based on the premise that facial muscles, like any other muscle, need exercise to stay toned, enthusiasts of facial yoga say the regular practice of making kissy faces or wagging one's tongue can reduce worry lines and wrinkles and even create a little peace within.

Facial yoga is a better, more permanent, and far less expensive way to look younger year after year…

Here are the  benefits of facial yoga.
The forehead: Erase frown lines and release your worries. This leads to a more relaxed body
The eyes: Improve your vision, relax the muscles that allow you to move your eyes around. Dry eyes, blurry vision and headaches can be eased away
The cheeks and mouth: As you age, muscle tone begins to decrease, making the face appear as if it is melting, facial yoga sets this right
The chin: Get rid of the double chin and get a sharper jawline
The neck and shoulder: Prevent a drooped posture and wrinkles on the neck.
Facial Yoga Poses
Lion Breathing – To clear chesty lungs.
  • Inhale through the nose and raise your shoulders all the way up to the ears. Hold your breath for 10 counts.
  • With palms on knees, bend your elbows and lean forward. While sticking out your tongue, exhale through the mouth to empty all the air from your lungs and stomach.
Fish face – For Face Muscles:
  • Take a deep breath and hold it. Pucker up like a fish, suck in your cheeks and purse your lips.
  • Now try to smile, that is, stretch your lips. It might feel uncomfortable, breathe in and out as slowly as you can.
Look sideways – To Eyes Strengthen:
