Book Reviews of The Yoga Facelift
Book Review: Interesting
Summary: 3 Stars
I 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.
Book Review: Unimpressed
Summary: 2 Stars
Calgal'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 FacerciseBook Review: A major letdown.

I bought this book for someone who I know has a strong interest in this kind of thing, after reading the good reviews for it here, but I felt bad about giving it once I'd received it and had a chance to look inside.
The text was small and very faint, (if I recall correctly, a light mauve on a white background. - If I'm wrong then hopefully someone will correct me) and the pictures inside were all in black and white and not easy to see what one had to do. The main thing that came across to me though is that most of the models used looked young enough not to have to worry about doing facial yoga (presumably the book is aimed at people over a certain age whose faces have become old-looking in some way) and the older models looked old and not conducive to giving anyone confidence in the techniques being advocated, especially the author herself who looked her age and really one would have expected her to look a lot younger than her years if anyone is expected to have any faith in this technique.
The person I gave the book to, thanked me very much at the time, before looking at it, but has not mentioned it at all since, and this speaks volumes to me, as they normally would mention something they feel pleased with. All I can say to anyone thinking of purchasing this book, is try to get hold of a copy to look inside before you buy as it may not be what you are looking for. Quite apart from the disappointing content, the book was very cumbersome and awkward to hold owing to the shape and size of it.
Book Review: Waste of Time

This book was a big disappointment and I do not recommend it. Get it from the library if you are curious, but don't waste your money. I did!Book Review: Yoga Faclift

I never received this item, for some reason it was sent back after the first try of someone delivering it to my home
