Face Yoga fundamentals

Face Yoga can support muscle tone, awareness of tension, circulation and a fresher look when practised regularly under guidance. It cannot inject volume, erase sun damage, replace dermatology, or guarantee a specific number of years 'off'. At Body Care, Mallika Some has seen visible change in some students within about two months — classroom observation, not a promise for every face.

What Body Care will not claim
- A specific number of years younger.
- A cure for disease, infertility, thyroid issues or sudden facial droop.
- Results from watching a video once without practice.
- That every recorded routine on the internet works the same as live teaching.
What students often notice first
In Mallika's rooms, the early wins are usually less about a dramatic 'before/after' and more about less puffiness under the eyes after massage, less habitual forehead holding, and a face that looks less tired than the body already felt. Those are the signals classmates noticed when Face Yoga first stuck in her classes — the reason people stopped logging off for the last 15–20 minutes.
Questions students actually ask
How soon will I see a change?
Some of Mallika's students, especially around menopause, have shown a visible facial change within about two months of regular practice. Others need longer. There is no honest fixed date that fits every face.
Can Face Yoga replace Botox or fillers?
No. Those are clinical procedures. Face Yoga is a fitness practice for the face and neck. Choose procedures with a qualified clinician if that is what you want.
