A gentle face yoga class designed to focus on breathing and destressing.

No experience necessary.

Pushpa Krishnaswamy is a yoga teacher with more than 8 years experience. She teaches Traditional Yoga for Holistic Well-being, based on traditional practices. Her teaching style includes Om Chanting, Shat Kriyas, Pranayamas, Asanas, Yoga Nidra, Meditation, and Knowledge.

Face Yoga: Face Yoga is not a traditional practice but has become a popular offering as it offers instant relief from stress. In Face Yoga, we activate various parts of the head, and this results in a feeling of relaxation and calmness. Simple facial stimulation every day can help to relieve tension. Try this interesting session, and see if you can feel the difference.

A Traditional Yoga class includes

  • Om chanting for bringing the class to a state of awareness
  • A Shat Kriya for cleansing
  • Pranayamas for bringing the mind to the present moment
  • Asanas for exercising, relaxing, and releasing the body
  • Yoga Nidra for rest and healing
  • Shanthi Mantra for world peace

When all of the above are done, then the body gives up tension, the mind relaxes, and the whole self unifies. This is the purpose of yoga. When we face the world with a unified mind and body, we function better. We handle our lives more skillfully. And that is what we all want.

What to bring:     

  • Water bottle
  • Towel (optional)
  • Positive attitude!
