Today I read an article titled "jeevithayogam" about yoga in Malayala Manorama - Health. Though the title of this blog post may seem negative, I personally have no doubts about the many positive effects of yoga. In fact I have copied the title from an article published recently. We even provide yoga classes in our AestheticHoliday. I believe that Yoga is one of the most intelligently contrived placebo treatment in the world. I must again stress that I am a strong supporter of the placebo effect and I don't consider it an aberration that needs to be accounted for.
However the focus of this article mentioned above is not about yoga itself. The author claims that the west has started to accept yoga by quoting few attractive names and studies. In fact it is little difficult to read these names in malayalam script. If cute names and studies can garner credibility, we may still be far behind acupuncture, and traditional chinese medicine. Here is what I found on pubmed.

Just as with physical exercise, you build and strengthen the muscles of the body. If you've worked out before in your life you know what I'm talking about. Well the same will apply when you start doing facial exercises! You might be asking yourself, what are face yoga exercises? Basically,they are simple face exercises or better yet, face and neck exercises that bring tone and harmony to your facial muscles. There's excellent facial exercises for a rounder face or face exercises to avoid double chin or even exercises for a slimmer face that will help bring better balance to your face and help the muscles look more defined and sculpted.
