The Open Face Method
14 simple Face Yoga practices to help you build a consistent routine, with 5-minute resets for busy days and 15-minute practices when you want to go deeper.
Your face has muscles too, and just like the rest of your body, they benefit from regular movement, relaxation and attention. This Basic Course gives you a simple way to start practising Face Yoga without complicated routines or spending hours in front of the mirror. You'll learn how to release areas that tend to hold tension, activate muscles that may not be working as effectively, and bring more awareness and movement into your face, jaw and neck. The goal isn't perfection or changing the way you look. It's helping your face feel less tense and look more rested, refreshed and naturally vibrant. Short enough to actually stick with, but structured enough to make Face Yoga part of your regular routine.

The Open Face Method
The Open Face Method includes seven 5-minute and seven 15-minute Face Yoga practices, so you can choose what your face needs and how much time you have. Use the 5-minute classes as your quick daily reset when you're short on time, or choose a 15-minute class when you want more focused work for your face, jaw and neck. With consistent practice, you'll learn to soften habitual tension, improve your awareness and control of your facial muscles, and create a face that feels more relaxed, awake and alive.

- Do I need any Face Yoga experience?
- Not at all. The Open Face Method is designed so you can start from the beginning and gradually become more familiar with activating, relaxing and controlling different facial muscles.

- Should I use face oil or cream?
- For exercises where your fingers glide or massage across the skin, use enough of your preferred facial oil, serum or moisturiser to avoid pulling or dragging the skin. For muscle activation exercises, you may not need any product.

- The practices explore different areas of the face and neck, including the cheeks, jawline, lips, neck and areas where we commonly hold facial tension.
- When will I notice a difference?
- You may notice your face feels more relaxed, awake or refreshed immediately after a practice. Changes in muscle awareness, control and appearance depend on the individual and are more likely to come from regular practice over time. structural balance.
- Do I have to do the 5-minute and 15-minute classes?
- No. They’re there to make the method easier to fit into your life. Choose 5 minutes when that’s all you have, or a 15-minute practice when you want a more complete session.
