Face yoga, as the name suggests, is a practice that focuses on exercises and techniques to tone and rejuvenate the muscles of the face. Most face yoga practitioners today focus only on the external or beauty aspects of face yoga while ignoring the internal or healing aspects of it. But with our trained experienced coach, you can experience a complete transformation of your face and neck along with enhanced energy at the end of it.
10-week course description:
Total faculty student interaction per week is 1.5 hours. Classes will be structured in such a way that practical demonstrations of pranayama and face yoga together will be for an hour (pranayama for 45 minutes and face yoga for 15 minutes) during which students are expected to follow. During this time faculty will share theoretical knowledge via posts, handouts and writing boards. There will be Q & A at the end for half an hour. All students are encouraged to keep the questions in the last half hour to encourage discussions and debates.
Students are expected to eat dinner at least 2-3 hours prior to the class if from EST. For pacific time zone, students are expected to join prior to the dinner time at 6 pm pacific. The class is essentially a free format which allows students or teachers to extend the time of the sessions, if need be, based on the content being discussed. The students are also encouraged to do self-study via the podcasts and books shared by the teacher much ahead of time which can be additional tools to ensure long term daily practices (sadhana). It’s also advisable to wear something comfortable like yoga pants and T-shirts for the sessions to allow easier movements while in sessions. For women it’s also advisable to be free of facial ornaments to avoid them interrupting in the face yoga sessions. Also, entire program is designed for both men and women including face yoga sessions. Students will take a MCQ (multiple choice question) quiz once in 2 weeks and they are allowed to retake the quiz if errors occur. During the course, students will be required to submit 1 or 2 short essays. They need not be academic quality papers but should be based on students’ self-reflection on what they have learned and assimilated so far. Selected essays may qualify for being published on the university’s website. Also, students are encouraged to email the teacher via the google group or forum at any time during or after the program if questions arise and she believes in establishing a personal relationship with every student for better understanding of the subject.
