Facial Yoga, the new craze of India

It is less painful than plastic surgery and definitely cheaper than non-surgical injections that temporarily reduces or eliminates wrinkles — but it can make you look young.

Yes, facial yoga — which gives you the benefits of a face-lift without the danger and expense of surgery — is the latest craze in India as a number of people, regardless of age, are enrolling themselves for training classes, particularly in the capital.

“This yoga for the face is a simple, non-invasive way to erase fine lines and wrinkles. It also reduces sagging skin and restores a radiant, youthful look to one’s face and complexion,” says Madhavi Padhy, a former stress management and yoga consultant with the United Nations in Vienna.

Among the facial exercises, eye socket massage is the most important one which even an office worker can practice taking a ten-minute break from his or her hectic schedule.
This exercise relieves tension and stress from areas around the eyes. It also relaxes the eyes and surrounding facial features.
