MEET NIKKI

Where: Westport
Many of us have problem areas such as forehead lines, dropping eyelids, eye bags, drooping cheeks, laugh lines, lip lines, and double chins. The Fit Face Yoga Method tones all of these areas! It also includes acupressure for lymphatic drainage, face massage, and the use of tools like the gua sha and face roller.
Nikki gives us some exclusive sample exercises to give you a sneak peek of a session with her:
1. The Forehead Lift:
Place your fingers on your forehead, lift the forehead up with your fingers and use your forehead muscles to try and pull your fingers down. As you do this also use your eyebrow muscles and close the eyes; this will create resistance and cause the muscle to strengthen. Repeat three times for 30 seconds.
2. Cheek Builder:
Suck in your cheeks and make sure you are not biting the inside of your mouth. You can keep your mouth slightly open to avoid this while keeping your cheeks sucked and smile at the same time. Hold this pose for 30 seconds and repeat three times.
3. Double Chin Vanisher:
Place your hands under your jaw, place your tongue on the floor of your mouth push your tongue down with medium pressure. Use your hands to push upwards under your chin. Hold for 30 seconds and repeat three times.
Be sure to breathe though the entire workout!
