What is face yoga?
We all have these tiny, delicate muscles in our face that you might not even think twice about.
“The face has muscles, just like the body,” Takatsu explains.
“So why not isolate and tone those muscles, relaxing the rest so you might get results?”

“You’re not causing any unwanted wrinkles because you’re controlling the movement,” says Takatsu.
“You catch yourself tightening your shoulders or tensing the forehead.”
