Does YOGA benefit the FACE?

Yoga Discussion General Yoga
#1

I know some of you might think that it is totally irrelevant to start a thread titled as this in GYDiscussion but i didnt really have a clue where to head and instead ended up here.
To begin with, i ve been practicing yoga for the past couple of months and frankly i see a lot of benefits: flexibility, calmness, strength gain and etc. but what i wanna emphasize here is whether yoga could increase firmness on the face? giving it more of a rejuvenated look, fresher one. cos i m sure there are days that completely drain you out and you wind up looking haggard and hollow-faced and if it happens on a frequent basis it might give you premature aging looks on the face
some of you might offer a FACE YOGA practice but i ve been warned many times about its drawbacks so i really would like to learn if the ACTUAL yoga can really benefit FACE as well as it does to a body/soul.(as i ve been researching a lot online about it and dont seem to find apt info concerning face)

holler at me guys in case you got something useful to say about it.

I do not know of any specific yoga for the face but having a regular physical yoga practice along with some kind of meditation or relaxation practice and a healthy clean diet will improve the look of the face.

The physical exercise will improve your circulation and blood pressure to whole body including the face helping the skin to look better, meditation and relaxation will help to reduce stress and bring calmness of mind…so you will frown and scowl less…a healthy diet will also help your skin to look good.

We teach a complete jaw series as well as a workshop for the eyes. These things are not typically a part of the daily in-class sequencing. However once learned it is completely appropriate for the student to do these things in their home practice as a daily preventive or maintenance.

When a yoga practice is robust the student is taught how to manage their nutrition in such a way as to maintain or keep up their physical body including the flesh and the smaller muscles. A person who is not properly hydrated, who is not properly oxydated, who is not properly leaning their diet toward alkaline rather than acidic foods, that person could do all the “face yoga” under the sun and it would matter very little.

Exercises for the eyes are good, eg the infinity rotation of the eyes. It consists in rotating the eyes -in both senses-in a horizontal eight figure. The monks of Tibet have developed a Tibetan chart to exercise the eyes. There are many yoga exercises for the eyes, basically stimulating the blood flow to the eyes.

However, all these are good for prevention and even cure of minor eye problems. When it comes to more serious problems, you have to resort to specialized foods and supplements, like the ones below:

Mikaj, Tara Stiles book Slim Calm Sexy Yoga talks about yoga for the skin. She even mentions like you said about worry/stress putting permanent marks, she talks about less stress from yoga relaxing the face and also about cleaning out toxins, the effects of better sleep & muscle toning etc. She has a whole chapter on it. “… when you feel good, you look good.”

Not sure if she mentions but I also think that with yoga practice we tend to eat better and that is good for the skin too.

Of-course yoga is having benefit for skin, which makes glow on face and more helpful in several ways and I agreed that some kind of meditation or relaxation practice and a healthy clean diet will improve the look of the face. Thanks to share your suggestions.

I don’t know if it directly benefits the face, but indirectly it can reduce stress which has been shown to minimize acne outbursts and stuff like that.

Good yoga practice (for working of all organs) , good food ( to get all nutritional values) + good lifestyle (for preventing damage) automatically reflect on the face and you don’t need to do anything than regular care.
