Holistic Beauty: Face Yoga Instructor Teaches Anti-Ageing Practices

Face yoga instructor Khan Linh explains how the practice can help slow the ageing process.

Face yoga and gua sha instructor, and advocate of Chinese medicine and qi gong, Khanh Linh embraces the wellness traditions of her family while guided by her father’s mentorship. A holistic practice that slows the ageing process without the use of chemicals, face yoga is a natural way to look and feel younger and Healthier, and release facial tension. The protocol integrates face yoga as a hygienic Lifestyle, using face massage, acupressure and breathing to induce a calm state.

One key benefit is increased facial blood circulation. Stress often restricts blood flow, depriving the skin and muscles of oxygen and nutrients. Face yoga stimulates the circulation for skin rejuvenation and muscle relaxation, reducing wrinkles from habitual expressions. Regular practise helps promote a radiant glow that boosts confidence.
