Taking care of face muscles is not about the looks. Sure, our program Health of Your Face will shape the face, tone the muscles, and change the looks but in fact it is about keeping the tissues of your face both muscle and skin strong and capable of regeneration. Like any other muscle group in our body, face muscles are prone to "freezing" if they are not warmed up every day. Our habit to express certain emotions can leave it's mark on our face and distort it in time. We offer a solution - a 35 minute class three times a week to revive your face.
