facial/jaw yoga

[Guest guest]

SAT NAM,

 

Are there any KY excercises for strengthening

face/cheek muscles, improving cheek contour,reducing

the jaw/check tension and better lubricating the jaw

joint as well reducing the clicking sound of the jaw?

 

thanks

Akkama

Sat Nam,

 

Akkama,

 

The first yoga book I purchased many years ago has some really nice facial

and jaw yoga.

 

1. Chin to ceiling - Sitting or standing comfortably, tilt your head

backward, lifting your chin toward the ceiling. This may result in your

bottom teeth moving in front of your top teeth for the duration of the

stretch. You should feel this in the bottom of your chine and through your

neck.

 

2. "OW"- Say ow very slowly and carefully, starting with your mouth wide

open in a big circle and working it quite strongly throughout until, at the

final "w" sound, your mouth is nearly closed. Repeat this as many times as

feels comfortable.

 

3. Alternate smiles- Keeping the right side of your face still, stretch the

left side of your mouth towards your ear then reverse. You will feel the

stretch in your face as well as your neck. If this is easier on one side,

practice by holding one side of your face as you stretch the other, so the

muscles can learn the pattern of movement.

 

4. Purse, pig and grimace- Begin by pursing your mouth, (a wide smile)

pulling your lips together as tightly as possible. Than, keeping your lips

together, unclench them forward as far as they will go in the shape of a pig

snout (puckered lips) Then pull your mouth as wide as it will go, as if the

corners could reach your ears. Do this 5 times. It is easy to get if you

see the illustrations.

 

5. Forehead Stretch- Rais and lower your eyebrows in the manner of Groucho

Marx. As you do this, your wil feel a strong stretch running form your

forhead down through your ears- in fact, your ears may even wiggle a little.

You can repeat the stretch as many times as feels comfortable.

 

I hope this helps,

PEACE LOVE & LIGHT TO YOU AND ALL,

shelfs or do an on line search. It is not KY it is "drawn from a variety of

eastern and western disciplines- yoga, t'chi and sports medicine". This

book focuses on targeted exercises ie, arms, legs, back, hips and buttocks,

another words your whole body. It has routines for the office, all kinds of

sports warm ups and yoga with your children and partners. It contains

10,20,30 minut works outs too. It only cost 16 dollars. It is a great

edition to ones collection. I am going to send you all the information,
