Go from Stressed Face to Brighter Face & Spirit! with Sarika Face Yoga

Are you holding stress on your face unconsciously?

Check your precious face right now!

Are you frowning (unconsciously)? Are you wrinkling your forehead? Do people think you’re in a bad mood, even when you’re not?

Or, do you have what’s known as the ‘RBF’ (Resting B Face)?!

Relax your face, relax your mind!

What if… you can go from tired face to brighter face and attitude?! Soften frown lines.

Naturally! Just using your fabulous face muscles?!

You’re in control. An empowering feeling!

No need for botox nor invasive surgery. (No judgement either!)

All that facial blood and oxygen flow feels so fabulous too! Self-care with a natural high!

“Sarika is such a gift to the world, and one of the most interesting women I have ever met. Her laugh and awesome sense of humour will keep you engaged - she is a mesmerising teacher and draws students in with her sheer love of life and incredible enthusiasm in all she does”
Behnaz Vala, Mindset Coach, Germany

“I am SO happy and satisfied with the program. I almost immediately noticed the changes in my face and even before my sessions with Sarika were finished, I could see a new glow in my face which was amazing. The poses are short, fun, and very effective; and you get results in no time.
I also LOVE how Sarika teaches the poses. She is professional, very knowledgable, and so caring. You feel from the first moment that you are in good hands.
I absolutely recommend Sarika and her program, I cannot emphasize more.”
Jovana Benoit, Fashion Designer (USA/Haiti)

“Face Yoga may look like a joke, but it can bring surprising transformative emotional and physical benefits. Learning to strategically release facial tension, in fact, releases the tension and stress in our minds. It can even soften facial wrinkles! Face Yoga brings a sense of happiness and empowerment through increased facial oxygen and blood circulation, laughter, and enhanced facial expressions. Thank you, Sarika for this great method of relaxation.”
Angélica Renée (USA), Founder, Green Luxury Living

“Sarika took my community on a virtual trip to Japan by revealing to us the amazing world of sake and face yoga. She was so engaging and pleasant, we had a wonderful time and learned so much! I absolutely love how her passion for both sake and face yoga come through when she speaks about them… (…) ! I've been practicing the face yoga poses we learned and I already notice a difference after a week. So grateful to have had this opportunity to learn from you Sarika!”

Face Yoga Power!

Lift Up your Face & Spirit!

By strategically working out the 57 facial muscles that are under-exercised, Face Yoga enhances oxygen and blood circulation on the face. (All that flow!)
Improved facial circulation leads to a brighter face - and even brightens your outlook!
Soften Wrinkles: No Botox Needed

Face Yoga can help soften facial wrinkles by stretching and toning the 57 facial muscles. It strategically gives a work-out to the facial muscles so it becomes stronger and more resilient to gravity and wrinkles.
Break bad facial habits

You may be unconsciously frowning and holding tension between your eyebrows, forehead, and teeth.
Your body and mind are so interconnected that these bad facial habits are actually causing you stress in your mind (and manifesting as unwanted lines on the face).
Face Yoga brings awareness to how you are using your facial muscles and breaks these stress-inducing facial habits.
Relax your Face, Relax your Mind

We tend to hold so much tension on our faces, without even knowing it (teeth gritting, frowning, wrinkling eyebrows).
When we let go of the tension on our faces, we can also let go of tension in the mind. Fascinating but true!
Happy Hormones

Similar to Laughing Yoga, Face Yoga brings a sense of happiness and relaxation. When we lift the corners of our mouth and smile, it releases endorphins, the “happy hormones”, which is also contagious.
It’s been scientifically proven that Happiness is good for your health!
Better Facial Expressions, Better Communication

As we break bad facial habits (see above), Face Yoga can enhance facial expressions, a vital component of better non-verbal communications, leading to better interpersonal skills.

I'm a United Nations Official turned Entrepreneur, on a mission to make positive social changes through brightening people’s faces and spirits!

After working with the United Nations in Asia and Africa (with postings to Kenya, Vietnam, Thailand) on Gender Equality and Urban Poverty for a decade, then, starting a family, I founded my company, focusing on my favorite things in life - Face Yoga & Japanese Sake. Both bring me so much happiness (Apart from friends and family!)

Totally accidentally (!), I discovered Face Yoga 10 years ago in my 40s in Japan, and it’s been a secret joy! (Not so secret anymore!).

Now that I recently turned 50 (half-a-century!), I can say that Face Yoga has helped me so much as a self-care tool through difficult times (stressed face!) and fun times, bringing me improved emotional well-being, better facial expressions (for communicating with loved ones), and brightening my face and outlook in life!

After all, the body-mind connection - our emotions and our face muscles are so interconnected, so it should be no surprise.

That’s why I’m so so excited to share the power of Face Yoga with you. It’s a fun, empowering tool that works!

Love, Sarika

I absolutely love how her passion for both sake and face yoga come through when she speaks about them, and her dedication to highlight the women in the sake industry is commendable. We both share a love for sustainability and it was wonderful to learn of the many sustainable practices for creating sake today, especially by female brewers! I've been practicing the face yoga poses we learned and I already notice a difference after a week. So grateful to have had this opportunity to learn from you Sarika!”

An Empowering Perspective on Beautifully Aging: I had the pleasure of taking part in two of Sarika’s workshops, and left both times feeling positive, having had a good time, learned some things about anatomy and the aging process.
In our Western society which is so focused on youth, it’s nice to see an alternative approach to aging which focusses on practical fun exercises which strengthen facial and neck muscles. The theory part, lays out some basic information on anatomy, anthropology of universal facial expressions and how language influences how we use our facial muscles. The second part focussed on practice with some basic exercises to support strengthening vision and addressing wrinkles and sagginess around the eyes, while others exercises focussed on contours around the mouth and neck. As we all know the virtues of physical exercise, the workshop emphasized the importance of facial muscles exercises for all ages. I enjoyed the sessions and time to time find myself practicing a pose or two in the mirror! "
