| |  | Spiritual | Home » » » » » The Yoga Facelift | | | | | | | Description: | | Women and men alike can reclaim their face with The Yoga Facelift, an exercise, energetics, and meditation program specifically designed by Marie-Véronique Nadeau for the most prominent feature of the body. We are inundated with exercise programs to tone abs, biceps, triceps, and insteps, but none to exercise and maintain the most hardworking set of muscles in our entire body, the face! Nadeau has devised a holistic method for ridding the face of frown lines, reducing extra chins, and eradicating chicken neck. Her book is filled with useful charts, instructive photographs, and simple and natural exercises that readers can do in just five or ten minutes every day while waiting in traffic, talking on the phone, or working in front of the computer, all the while taking years off their face. Forget BOTOX. Don't even think of invasive and potentially dangerous plastic surgeries. Ditch the collagen. And enter the stress-free, effective world of Nadeau's restorative yoga therapy. The Yoga Facelift will enhance inner and outer beauty and help you to put your best face forward! Gorgeous black-and-white photographs accompany each yoga pose. | | | Product Details: | | | Author:

 Needs better instructionJun 25, 2007
By CalGal
Although the book has good information and intentions, which is what I mainly give my stars for, I find that the instructions and photos are wanting in many places. For a little example, one exercise says 'smile without smiling' and shows photos of a woman with a rather blank staring expression; I really could not 'get' what exactly to do there or how it should feel. In going through the book I found myself unsure if I was doing things correctly and I really think that some more detailed descriptions and additional photos (maybe with arrows indicating movement on them or something) would help.
Really, I am not a dummy when it comes to this sort of thing and understanding movement, but I am disappointed and feel this book leaves room for improvement. It actually would be better overall as a book with an instructional DVD since seeing the motion all the way through would be a huge help.

 UnimpressedJul 31, 2007

Calgal's reviews says it all. I am glad I'm not the only one. I much prefer the Facercise book. I cannot believe the writer encourages headstand - a potentially dangerous exercise which I have never even tried, and I've been practicing yoga for about 12 years now. Granted, she shows a modification, but still encourages full headstand. Also, the pushing of her creams seems to my somewhat sceptical eye to be the main raison d'etre of the book. And I say this because there aren't many exercises here in the first place. Plus, what there is is poorly explained. Yes, I definitely prefer Facercise

 Excellent Natural Face Lift and MoreMay 01, 2007
By Judith Rogers
"Holistic R.N."
I am a holistic registered nurse who has tried some other facial exercises in the past but never knew the muscle structures behind the exercises which are explained in this book. The authors'careful study of the muscles makes these exercises superior. The information in the book on skin aging mechanisms, nutrition and supplementation was very informative and was information that I was not familiar with. I have been happily using the Marie Veronique skin therapy products covered in the book for some time which are so natural you could eat them! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Marie, for this excellent book!

Yoga and Natural Beauty Come Full CircleApr 05, 2007
By mary jane sebas
As an avid yoga enthusiast, I was very interested in "The Yoga Facelift" when a friend gave me a copy. The exercises are presented in a simple, straightforward manner and I don't need to go to a studio to do them. My problem was I had falling cheeks and now they are as firm as apples! The author also has a great philosophy on natural beauty and how we can best take care of ourselves. I now have my mom doing the exercises and she is noticing results.

You will benefitJan 25, 2008
By kmw
This otherwise great book fails to get five stars for only 2 reasons: 1) the neck exercises didn't produce noticeable results for me personally (I'm going to try Carole Maggio's book for that reason alone); and 2)the author dismisses the importance of aerobic exercise, and in fact, calls it aging.
That may be true for aerobic enthusiasts who overdo it, but imho, it's a critical component of good health and looking youthful. I'm 47 and still get carded so I vouch for the importance of exercise.
Having said that, I started noticing areas of my face that I wasn't thrilled with. Lip lines that were getting worse rather than better, lines on the side of my nose, and upper lids that could use some lift.
Bam! Immediate improvement. I agree with some of the other reviewers: it's very cool to have full, voluptuous lips. My eye area is tighter, brighter (no crow's feet whatsoever, but in fairness, I didn't have that many to begin with) and my nose lines (from squinting) are gone. My cheeks are full and my jaw line is tighter.
Why my neck didn't reap the same benefits, I'm not sure. I've been doing these exercises since June 2007 and that area is the least improved.
Just my two cents, hope it helps.
