Smiling Buddha. Mouth mobilizer. Sleeping yogi. Or how about a Jim Carrey?

Slightly sagging boomers without the wherewithal, or the desire, to spend large sums on medical intervention against their wrinkles now have an alternative.

It’s called Fresh Face Yoga, a series of toning and strengthening exercises for the muscles of your face devised by Suzanne Kahley, a registered nurse who has been practicing yoga for 30 years.

Some of the names may sound a little goofy and, in fact, Kahley’s Fresh Face workshops at Schoolhouse Yoga in Pittsburgh usually feature plenty of laughter as students twist and stretch their faces into unaccustomed positions.

But there’s a practical, down-to-earth component to the classes: Improved circulation and muscle tone play a part in keeping wrinkles at bay, and the yoga exercises themselves foster a sense of well-being that helps inner beauty shine out.

“Yoga is designed to touch every muscle in your body,” says Kahley, 51. “But what I realized was that it wasn’t affecting my face.”

Kahley researched facial exercises programs, including the popular Facercise series developed by author Carol Maggio, and selected from among them several to plug into the yoga concept.

After a year of practicing, Kahley began offering her workshops this year. Because some students may not have the flexibility to stretch their bodies into more demanding yoga poses, Kahley modifies them to fit individual ability.

So what is the Jim Carrey? Imagine trying to duplicate the rubber-faced actor’s flashing grin, teeth bared and cheeks pulled in, and you get the idea.

The exercises are designed to cultivate a lasting sense of well-being and beauty.

“It’s maximizing what nature gave us,” says Kahley, “without anything artificial about it.”
