✨ My Face Yoga Journey – Then & Now ✨

Top row: April 2022, age 44
Bottom row: Today, age 47
No filters. Just me – with a little more light in my face and a lot more kindness in how I care for it.

When I began Face Yoga, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I certainly didn’t follow a perfect routine (life doesn’t work like that!). But even dipping in and out, the results are real:

💛 A naturally lifted jaw and cheeks
💛 Brighter, calmer skin
💛 Softer expressions
💛 And a deeper sense of presence in my own skin

That’s the magic of Face Yoga — it’s not about looking younger, it’s about feeling more you.

🌸 And now… it’s your turn.

My next 8-Week Face Yoga & Wellness Course begins Monday 30th June 2025, and you still have time to join!

🎁 Use the code GLOW20 to get £20 off the last-minute price (£99 → £79)
💌 Code valid until midnight on Wednesday 26th June

🤧💆‍♀️ This Week I Lost My Voice – Here’s What Helped Me Heal Naturally

Gentle practices for head colds, laryngitis & low energy – plus news on my next Face Yoga course!

Hi! 💖

This past week, I caught a proper headcold and completely lost my voice 😷

Not ideal when you teach for a living! It’s been a week of slowing down, tuning in, and honouring what my body needed most: warmth, stillness, and support.

✨ Today, my voice is finally returning — so I wanted to share exactly what’s helped me.
If you’re feeling run down, blocked up, or recovering from laryngitis too, this might be just what your system needs.

⸻

🌿 My Self-Care Toolkit for Headcold + Laryngitis:

✨ 1. Breathwork: Full Body Steam Breath
• Sit upright, one hand on your belly
• Inhale deeply through the nose (or mouth if blocked)
• Exhale softly through pursed lips, like fogging a mirror
• Visualise a warm mist rising to soothe your throat and face
• Repeat x10 rounds

💬 Affirmation: “I soften. I soothe. I breathe with ease.”

⸻

✨ 2. Acupressure Points for Relief

• LI-20 (Welcome Fragrance) – sides of nostrils ➝ opens nasal passages
• Bitong – just under the eye socket at the crease ➝ relieves sinus pressure
• ST-9 – side of the throat near the voice box ➝ calms inflammation
• Ren-22 – hollow at the base of the throat ➝ supports the vocal cords

Hold each gently for 10–20 seconds or use soft circles.

⸻

✨ 3. Facial Massage for Sinus Drainage
• Stroke down the sides of the neck (behind ears and under jaw)
• Sweep under cheekbones (nose to ears) x5
• Circle around eyes and brows x3
• Cup jaw and hold for warmth
• Place palms over throat and collarbones to breathe into the area

💧 Finish with a warm compress or steamy towel across your face if you like.

⸻

✨ 4. Gentle Face Yoga
• Eye Circles – light fingertip tracing around the orbital bone
• Brow Pinches – soft pinches from centre to temples
• Soft “O” Face – drop jaw into an ‘O’ and gently gaze up (hold for 3 breaths)
• Neck Hold – tilt chin slightly upward and breathe into the throat

⸻

✨ 5. Simple Hydration Rituals

• Sips of warm water with honey + turmeric
• Thyme or chamomile steam
• Voice rest — essential (and hard!)
• Head elevated for sleep

⸻

💫 My Next Face Yoga & Wellness Course Starts Soon!

🗓️ Start Date: 30th June 2025
💖 8 weeks of Face Yoga, acupressure, massage, breathwork, affirmations & support
🌐 Private Facebook group with video access + full guidance
💷 Standard Price: £85 (until midnight 22nd June)
🎁 DM me for a special discount code — I’d love to have you in the next round!

⸻

✨ Final Thought

Sometimes our bodies force us to pause… to reconnect, to release, and to heal.
If you’re feeling low-energy, foggy, or fragile — I see you.
Be soft. Breathe deeply. Let yourself be supported. 🌿

You are vibrant.
You are healing.
You are powerful — even in stillness.

With love (and a slowly returning voice!),
Wendy x

DIY Banana Water — the free, low-waste plant food your leafy friends will love!
Instead of throwing away banana peels, turn them into a gentle, natural fertiliser for your houseplants.

Here’s how:
1. Place 1–2 banana peels in a jar
2. Fill with water
3. Let soak for 1–3 days
4. Strain & pour onto your plants!

Rich in potassium, phosphorus and magnesium — all the good stuff for healthy growth, strong roots, and vibrant leaves.

Perfect for: Peace lilies, monsteras, pothos, spider plants
Not ideal for: Cacti or succulents (they prefer dry!)

Let me know if you try it — or tag me in your plant glow-up pics!

I've signed up for my second 100km Ultra! - last one was 9 years ago. I am walking to raise funds for GOSH after they saved my eldest daughter in Dec 2023 and in memory of my beloved Mumma who died in 2021. If you able to donate anything at all, I would be so grateful. Thank you for listening, Wendy Woo ###
