Wow, Did You Get A Yoga Facelift?

Remember those squishy faces you made when you were little? The ones your parents said would make your face stick like that forever? Well, maybe you were just ahead of your time; a little om-ing seven-year-old practicing facial yoga. According to The New York Times, some New Yorkers are paying top dollar today to contort their faces in a class called Revita-Yoga. The class claims you can forgo those expensive wrinkle injections and surgeries, and instead improve your appearance just by exercising that pretty mug. Want a plumper pout? Tap your finger on your lips to boost collagen. Plagued by crow's feet? Open your eyes wide like a bug. “People want a healthy alternative to looking good without artificial substance,” said Annelise Hagen, who teaches Revita-Yoga and has a book, The Yoga Face, out in August. “They want to be in control of their appearance rather than relegating it to an authority. I’m teaching my students to consciously release muscles rather than paralyzing them, which is what Botox does.” Sounds a bit like a too-good-to-be-true infomercial, but hey, if it works? Bring on the bug eyes.
