As we move into a new season, our skin and our energy often shift too. Autumn (or Fall, if you’re listening from the US!) is such a beautiful time for reflection, coziness, and renewal and it’s also the perfect season to adjust your Face Yoga practice.

In this week’s solo episode of The Face Yoga Expert Podcast, I’m sharing four simple but powerful ways to adapt your Face Yoga in Autumn/Fall so you can look and feel your very best.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

Setting seasonal goals 

How to use the change of season as an opportunity for growth, reflection, and setting gentle, achievable goals. I’ll guide you through tips on how to make these goals inspiring and motivating, and share a few personal stories from my own seasonal transitions.

Creating a cosy environment 

Why autumn is the perfect time to lean into warmth, softness, and coziness and how making your Face Yoga practice nurturing and comforting can help you stay consistent and really enjoy it.

Hydration inside and out 

I’ll share practical ways to keep your skin glowing and hydrated as the weather turns cooler, including what to drink, how to layer hydration topically, and why combining Face Yoga with your skincare routine gives you the best results.

Face Yoga + skincare integration 

This is one of my favourite tips: doing your Face Yoga moves at the same time as applying your skincare products. I’ll explain why this is so effective, and how it can easily become a mindful daily ritual.

I also talk about my brand new course: The Face Yoga Expert Facial™ At Home, which teaches you how to do Face Yoga at every stage of your skincare routine. This course is available now at the early bird price of £18 until 10th September (and £21 after that). It’s a beautiful way to learn a structured practice that fits perfectly into your daily routine.

This episode is for you if you want to: 

Keep your skin glowing and healthy during Autumn/Fall

Make Face Yoga part of your cosy, self-care rituals

Stay hydrated and radiant as the weather gets cooler

Learn how to combine Face Yoga with your skincare for maximum results

In this week’s episode, I invite you to join me for a short but powerful seven-minute guided meditation focused entirely on your face, designed to leave your skin feeling smooth, vibrant, and glowing.

We start by tuning into how your face feels right now, boosting the mindfulness and connection with yourself. Then, I’ll guide you through visualising a soothing white healing light as it flows over each key area of your face, encouraging healthy, radiant skin.

You’ll be led to imagine your entire face glowing with vitality and strength, before gently returning your focus to notice how your face feels in this moment- hopefully calm, relaxed, and refreshed!. Along the way, we’ll practice deep breathing exercises to support both your skin and your overall sense of wellbeing.

This meditation is perfect to use regularly, helping your face look naturally healthy and strong while calming your mind and body.

In this episode, I share my simple, effective method for making Face Yoga part of your daily routine, in just five minutes a day. After teaching Face Yoga for over 20 years, one thing has become very clear: consistency is the key to real, lasting results.

Whether you’re looking to tone and lift your face, improve circulation for a healthy glow, or release facial tension, this five-minute routine is a great place to start. I also offer practical tips for staying motivated and making Face Yoga a consistent, enjoyable habit.

 What You’ll Learn:

Why consistency matters more than age when it comes to seeing results

A five-minute Face Yoga routine that fits into even the busiest day

The physical and emotional benefits of daily facial movement

How to stay motivated and make Face Yoga part of your lifestyle

Tools and techniques to track your progress and refine your routine

 The 5-Minute Daily Routine: 

Forehead Smoother – Release tension and soften lines

Eye Area Tapping – Improve lymphatic flow and reduce tiredness

Cheek Strengthener – Tone and lift the mid-face

Jaw Release – Ease tightness and support facial definition

Neck Lifter – Firm and strengthen the neck area

 Tips to Stay Consistent:

Start small with a few simple techniques and build from there

Focus on how it feels, not just how it looks

Use The Face Yoga Journal to track your progress and stay motivated

Take progress photos every two weeks

Practice in front of a mirror to refine your technique and notice real-time results

 Final Thought:

Face Yoga isn’t about perfection. It’s about creating a few quiet, mindful minutes for yourself each day. Your breath, your hands, and your face, working together to help you feel and look your best. With consistency, the changes you see and feel will be both powerful and lasting.

You may have heard of the “10,000-hour rule”, the idea that it takes 10,000 hours of practice to truly master something. Popularised by author Malcolm Gladwell, it’s a concept that deeply resonates with my journey.

In the first 10 years of my career, I taught Face Yoga and wellness in person for around 20 hours a week. That added up to 10,000 hours , face-to-face, hands-on experience. These years taught me so much about what really works for lifting, toning, and transforming the skin naturally.

Now, with another decade of mostly online teaching behind me, I want to share the 5 key techniques I learned from those early, in-person years,  the ones that still form the foundation of my method today.

In this episode I chat about: 

The forehead area holds so much tension. Teaching people how to soften and relax this area using simple techniques leads to visible results, fewer lines and a smoother, calmer expression.

Opening the Eyes & Draining Lymph

To reduce puffiness, energise the eye area, and brighten the whole face, it’s vital to learn how to open up the eyes and support lymphatic drainage. This helps to release fluid buildup and awaken tired eyes.

Yes, cheek muscles need lifting and toning through exercise plus massage that really activates circulation. This combination gives the cheeks a more youthful, glowing look.

Releasing tension in the jaw is essential, not just for wellness, but for aesthetics too. It can reduce puffiness, soften the lower face, and create a more balanced, relaxed appearance.

One of the best things you can do for the neck area is to improve your posture. Poor posture contributes to neck lines, sagging, and tightness. Better alignment = better results.

If you’d like to follow a daily programme that brings these principles to life, I have a 7-Day Natural Facelift With Face Yoga course, just £21 for lifetime access.

12 minutes a day

All video-based

Repeat the program as many times as you like

Suitable for all levels

I always recommend using a high-quality product during your Face Yoga practice. One of my favourites is the Fusion by Danielle Collins Pro Lift Moisturising Serum,  it enhances your massage techniques and supports glowing, nourished skin.

If you’re new to Face Yoga or you’ve been doing it for a while and want to uplevel your results, this short solo episode is packed with helpful tips and advice to support you.

This week, I’m sharing some of the most common Face Yoga mistakes I see and how you can avoid them. These simple, actionable tips will help you get the best results from your practice, whether you’re just starting out or looking to deepen your routine.

In this episode, I talk about:

Why it’s important to always start with clean hands and a clean face

The difference between using a cream and a moisturising serum

How to avoid pushing too hard or overstimulating the face

Why consistency is key and how to make Face Yoga part of your daily routine

The importance of listening to your own body and not following random videos!

My best practices for making your Face Yoga routine safe, effective and enjoyable

I also share a little bit about my Morning, Noon and Night Facial Workout Course, which is only £31 and perfect if you’re looking for structured, guided routines.

Plus, I talk about my Fusion by Danielle Collins Skincare Range, including three beautiful new products that are ideal to use alongside your Face Yoga.
