 - Yoga FacliftI never received this item, for some reason it was sent back after the first try of someone delivering it to my home Rating:  - Try also -Yoga for the mindThis is a cool book on keeping 'facial' harmony-I also recommend a book a friend sent me-FREE YOUR MIND by Anthony Stultz, it is like yoga for the mind. Rating:  - InterestingI haven't really gotten into this book. I flipped through some pages which I was interested in, but some of the directions were hard to follow. I'm hoping I'm doing them right. When I get abit more time I hope to go through these throughly. I think it's great there's a book to exercise the face as we do our bodies. I think it's a great book to get and should be given a chance. Rating:  - UnimpressedCalgal's reviews says it all. I am glad I'm not the only one. I much prefer the Facercise book. I cannot believe the writer encourages headstand - a potentially dangerous exercise which I have never even tried, and I've been practicing yoga for about 12 years now. Granted, she shows a modification, but still encourages full headstand. Also, the pushing of her creams seems to my somewhat sceptical eye to be the main raison d'etre of the book. And I say this because there aren't many exercises here in the first place. Plus, what there is is poorly explained. Yes, I definitely prefer Facercise Rating: - Needs better instructionAlthough the book has good information and intentions, which is what I mainly give my stars for, I find that the instructions and photos are wanting in many places. For a little example, one exercise says 'smile without smiling' and shows photos of a woman with a rather blank staring expression; I really could not 'get' what exactly to do there or how it should feel. In going through the book I found myself unsure if I was doing things correctly and I really think that some more detailed descriptions and additional photos (maybe with arrows indicating movement on them or something) would help. Really, I am not a dummy when it comes to this sort of thing and understanding movement, but I am disappointed and feel this book leaves room for improvement. It actually would be better overall as a book with an instructional DVD since seeing the motion all the way through would be a huge help. In association with Amazon.com | |
