Face Yoga to Awaken Your Inner Glow
In this Face Yoga class, we’ll gently explore the marma points—Ayurveda’s sacred energy centres—to rejuvenate and harmonize your skin and spirit. We’ll release tension, boost circulation, and awaken your natural radiance through mindful techniques like massage, breathwork, and guided pressure.
This isn’t just a beauty routine; it’s a holistic journey. As you stimulate these powerful points, you’ll feel a ripple of energy balancing your inner and outer self, leaving you with a glowing complexion and deep connection. It’s self-care that starts with your face and nurtures your soul.
The face is rich with marma points—Ayurveda’s vital energy centres that connect the physical, emotional, and subtle bodies. Around the eyes, cheeks, and nose lie some of the most powerful marma points, each holding the potential to rejuvenate and harmonize your inner and outer well-being.
1. Eyes: The Gateway to Clarity and Vitality
Phana Marma (near the inner corners of the eyes): These points help alleviate eye strain, improve vision, and bring clarity of thought. Stimulating them gently can also reduce puffiness and dark circles, offering a brighter, more rested look.
Avarta Marma (above the eyebrows): Located near the brow bone, these points are calming and can relieve stress and tension that often collects around the eyes. They’re excellent for reducing headaches and encouraging mental clarity.
2. Cheeks: Radiance and Emotional Release
Apanga Marma (outer corners of the eyes): These points influence emotional well-being, releasing tension that builds up in the face. They also boost circulation, contributing to a vibrant, youthful glow.
Shankha Marma (temples): Though slightly above the cheeks, these points connect to facial relaxation and emotional grounding, helping to release pent-up stress that impacts the cheeks and jawline.
3. Nose: Breath and Balance
Phana Marma (beside the nostrils): This marma is key to regulating breath and energy flow. Massaging here can open up the sinuses, support respiratory health, and promote a sense of ease and balance in the body.
Nasadhara (bridge of the nose): Gently pressing here can help calm the nervous system, improve focus, and reduce nasal congestion.
How to Stimulate These Points
- Use light circular motions or gentle pressure with clean fingertips.
- Combine with deep, intentional breathing to enhance the flow of prana (life force energy).
- Incorporate oils like rose, sandalwood, or almond for added nourishment and relaxation.
These marma points around the eyes, cheeks, and nose refresh your complexion and nurture emotional harmony and mental clarity. It’s a true holistic self-care ritual—where beauty meets balance.
