I expected this book to have wonderful up close pictures to show you how to do the poses, well....the pictures that it does have are tiny and in black and white, hard to see fully and alot more writing than I think was needed. I seen this book on Rachel Ray and seen the woman who wrote it at her studio teaching and it looked great, the book not so. I was very dissapointed in it and will have to find another one that I can see better and understand better. It could have at least been in color to see a little better.

The book is written in a conversational, yet instructional way, and it's a quick read yet full of great tips on how to keep a younger-looking face. Her style is warm and encouraging, anyone can follow her method........highly recommended.

This book had some useful new facial exercises, but a large part of it was a review of basic asanas and paranyama. The new, useful content that pertained directly to facial health was a just a chapter.

I was lucky enough to take a Yoga Face workshop "live" with the author on a yoga retreat last year. I practice a lot of yoga but still find it a challenge to relax my face, especially around my chin and jaw. After the workshop, my lower face felt more relaxed - I could definitely feel how the techniques would be effective with practice. So I was thrilled to learn that Ms Hagen has codified her teachings into a book to share with a larger public. It's a keeper!

It is a good book with lots of exercises. I thought that there would be more face specific exercises, but there are many standard yoga positions throughout the book. My understanding of yoga is limited, so I thought that the whole book would be just the face. Many of the body exercises also exercise the face or get blood flow to the skin of the face. I rated it a three mostly because of my expectations. I think she really explains the reasons and hows of the positions and exercises.

If you have had plastic surgery, botox, etc. this book is for you because you have the perfect teacher to help you tone up the muscles under your skin in your face and neck and there are many. I am in it for the spiritual high and Anna Lise, an awesome teacher has helped me take the anger and toxic feelings that make me look so angry and lighten up. I love the vibrational sounds, mantra and kissing excercises (you don't need a partner to do the "kissing toners" for you mouth and under your chin) and this fun delightful, playful book which will brighten your day, make you smile and feeling better is the key to looking better! The book and the author are beautiful, intelligent, spiritually empowering and just plain fun to buy it, read it, do one or as many practices as you like and you feel and look better from the inside out! Om shanti!

As a former smoker in my late 30's in a high-stress job, I am especially concerned about my face showing age before its time. I practice yoga once in awhile but I am no expert. I saw the author's segment on Rachel Ray, so I thought I'd get this book and give these exercises a try. I have to say, this book is more than I expected. The exercises are fun and exhilarating. Some of them look a little silly, but I almost think that's by design. I had to let go of my worries about what I looked like doing these exercises before I could really get into them. But once I did that, it's been great! I definitely feel a firmer muscle tone and see a more radiant skin tone after just a few weeks of regular practice. The Yoga Face is also teaching me to relax my face when I experience stress, so I am learning to get the stress out of my facial expressions and keep it out! The Yoga Face also includes chapters on lifestyle choices like a healthy diet and natural cosmetics. I like the way the author uses supportive, encouraging language in her writing. I have taken classes taught by yoga instructors whom were either airy-fairy and pretentious or demanding and intimidating. By contrast, this yogi author is down-to-earth, light-hearted, funny and informative all the while. I recommend this book to anyone interested in maintaining a healthy youthful appearance without resorting to expensive, invasive procedures. I also recommend it to anyone who wants to learn about yoga without feeling like they need to wrap themselves in a sari and jet off to India.

This is an easy to follow, quick routine for strengthening your facial muscles. I have done the routine several times a week for the past two weeks and can actually feel a difference.

I'm not sorry I bought it, but much of the book seems to have nothing to do with facial exercises or faces at all really. It just reiterates what many other yoga books have to say about asana practice, and what is unique in it could have been published as a pamphlet.

I just love this book. The facial exercises are easy and fun to do almost anywhere. I haven't been following the Yoga Face program long enough to see huge results but my face feels amazing afterwards. I practice yoga because I love how it makes me feel, that it also makes me stronger, flexible and more toned is a huge bonus. When I do these facial exercises, I immediately feel more relaxed, content and my face feels tighter. Looking young and vibrant comes from feeling young and vibrant. This book is a guide to tapping into that place that already exists in each of us.
