A face yoga masterclass for the jawline, chin and neck

The lower face is where many of us notice change first.

A jawline that looks softer than it used to. Jowls. Fullness under the chin. Lines across the neck. Shoulders that creep forward from hours at a screen and take the neck and chin with them. They’re some of the most common things I’m asked about, and they’re all connected, because the same muscles, posture and tension affect them.

Chin Up shows you how to work that whole area gently and precisely, using only your hands.

What you’ll learn

• How the lower face and neck work: the muscles that shape the jaw, chin and neck, explained simply, so you know what you’re working and why.
• Jawline: exercises that tone the muscles along the jaw for a firmer, more defined-looking line.
• Chin and under the chin: techniques that work the muscles under the chin and help the area look smoother.
• Neck: how to tone the front of the neck and reduce the tension that deepens lines.
• Posture and “tech neck”: how the way you hold your head changes the look of your jaw and neck, and simple resets you can do anywhere.
• Jaw tension: how to release clenching and tightness around the jaw, a common source of tension in the lower face.
• Your routine: short lessons that build into one routine you can keep doing, with a quick version for busy mornings.
• Pressure and technique: exactly how light to be, so you tone without pulling or dragging the skin.

Who it’s for

• Anyone who’s noticed a softer jawline, jowls or a fuller-looking chin.
• People who spend a lot of time at a desk or on a phone and feel it in their neck.
• Anyone who wants a gentle, natural routine, with no gadgets, injections or products to buy.

About your teacher

I’m Lana, a certified face yoga instructor, as featured in Women's Weekly magazine, 20026. I teach face yoga as muscle work backed by anatomy, not as a trend, and I explain the reason behind every exercise, so you always know what you’re doing and why.

Please note

Face yoga is gentle, but if you have jaw pain, clicking, locking, or a diagnosed jaw or neck condition (including TMJ), or you’ve recently had surgery, injections or fillers in the area, check with your doctor or dentist first. This class is not a replacement for a medical treatment.
