How easy is it?
It is very easy. It just takes 20 minutes a day to do the main programme, which can be done in two ten minute sessions, and anyone can do it. But anything is better than nothing, even a couple of minutes is fine, as long as you are doing is regularly. The ideal is six days a week. It really doesn’t matter when you do the exercises. Just do them when is best for you. It is always better to do the exercises at the same time and same place everyday as this gives you a routine and ensures you stick to the programme. You can do them sitting up or lying down and it is best to be calm and relaxed in a quiet place. Some people set their alarm early in the morning to do the exercises, other people do them while watching TV, in the bath or even in the car park just before going into work. Choose a safe time or place which suits you and don’t use while driving or operating machinery.
Should anyone avoid it and why?
All the exercises and techniques in the programme have been designed to be safe and beneficial for everyone and all instructions are clear and comprehendible. It is always advised to visit a 1:1 teacher to ensure you are doing all exercises correctly and to learn any modifications suitable for any health complaints or skin problems. If you do have any particular needs, health issues or any of the exercises feel uncomfortable for you please consult your doctor before using the programme. Always ensure you work to your own comfortable limit.
Face Yoga is for everyone. Men and women, young and old. Face Yoga is very useful if you want to reduce signs of ageing and tension. Whether you are starting to see the first signs of ageing or if you have deep set lines and wrinkles, the exercises and techniques will be beneficial for you. It is never too late to start improving the health of your face.
The Danielle Collins Face Yoga Method is also a preventative measure. The earlier you start the exercises the less likely you are to see signs of ageing and tension in the face. Remember as well as using Face Yoga as an anti-ageing tool, you can also use it through times of stress to reduce those tell-tale signs that can show on your face.
How can people practice it?
You can attend a Face Yoga class or you can practice Face Yoga in your own home with Danielle’s ’10 Minute Natural Facelift’ DVD or App. The ‘10 Minute Natural Facelift’ leads you through the two ten minute upper face and lower face workouts for a younger healthier face.

Is it more efficient or better than invasive surgeries such as botox when it comes to improving our looks?
Face Yoga is a natural, non-invasive alternative to surgery and botox. If you do have surgery or botox it can also be used to compliment this procedure. I believe everyone can benefit from the programme. The Danielle Collins Face Yoga Method will give you a fresh, young, relaxed and beautiful appearance which looks more natural than surgery and is safer than having operations or using chemicals. It is a way of having control over your own face as the techniques can be done anywhere and everywhere. Practicing Face Yoga can give you a sense of calm in the mind and energy in the body so the benefits go deeper than just the external appearance. The key to Face Yoga is to practice it regularly to really see a long-lasting difference. Taking this time every day is not a chore however, it is a wonderful time for you to take some time to pamper yourself
