With Danielle Collins

In this special Valentine’s episode of the Face Yoga Expert Podcast, I’m sharing why Face Yoga is not only amazing for reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles and giving you glowing, healthy skin,  but also one of the most powerful practices for building self-love.

Valentine’s weekend isn’t just about the love we give to others. It’s also about the love we give to ourselves. And Face Yoga is one of the most simple, natural and nurturing ways to reconnect with your face, your body and your wellbeing.

In this solo episode, I talk you through five powerful reasons why Face Yoga naturally builds self-love, while also lifting and firming the skin. We explore how mindful touch, facial exercises and facial massage can help you feel more confident, calm and connected to yourself, inside and out.

The exciting thing about this episode is that if you’re watching on YouTube, there is a full Valentine’s Face Yoga tutorial you can follow along with. I demonstrate gentle facial exercises and facial massage techniques designed to boost self-love, relax facial tension, improve circulation and leave your skin looking brighter and more radiant.

If you’re listening on Apple Podcasts or your favourite podcast platform, you can still fully enjoy the episode by simply listening to me chat about Face Yoga and why it’s such a beautiful practice for self-love and natural facial rejuvenation. And you can always visit the YouTube video afterwards if you’d like to follow the tutorial visually.

In this week’s solo episode of the Face Yoga Expert Podcast, I’m sharing my personal journey with Face Yoga and why it has been such an important part of my life for over 20 years.

I’ve been teaching Face Yoga to millions of people around the world,  in person, online and on TV, but what many people don’t realise is that I also have my own daily Face Yoga practice and have done consistently for the past two decades.

In this episode, I talk about why I still practise Face Yoga every day, how it continues to support me personally, and why I truly plan to continue this practice for another 20, 40, and hopefully even 60 years!

I share how Face Yoga has helped me to naturally lift and sculpt my face, support healthy circulation, and keep my skin looking brighter, fresher and more radiant. I also discuss the emotional and mental benefits, including how Face Yoga helps me feel more grounded, calm and connected to myself.

We also explore the ageing process and why I believe having a positive, mindful relationship with ageing is one of the most powerful things we can do for our confidence and wellbeing. For me, Face Yoga isn’t about trying to look younger, it’s about ageing consciously, naturally and with self-love.

Finally, I talk about why Face Yoga is such an important part of my overall wellness and self-care routine, alongside movement, breath, skincare and mindfulness and why I see it as a lifelong practice, not a quick fix.

The exciting thing about this episode is that if you’re watching on YouTube, there is a full Face Yoga tutorial you can follow along with. I demonstrate facial exercises and facial massage techniques designed to boost lift, relax facial tension, improve circulation and leave your skin looking brighter and more radiant.

What if the colours you wear each day could help balance your energy, lift your mood, and support your emotional wellbeing?

In this solo episode of the Face Yoga Expert Podcast, I share how I personally use colour therapy and chakra awareness to support my energy, confidence, and sense of alignment – and how you can do the same through the clothes you choose.

Fashion and wellness have always been deeply connected for me, and in this episode I show you how your wardrobe can become a powerful tool for self-care and energetic balance.

If you’re watching on YouTube, you’ll also see images of the outfits I wear in each chakra colour so you can visualise how this looks in real life.

What colour therapy is and how it works on an energetic level

Why what you wear affects how you feel, think, and show up in the world

How the seven chakras influence your emotional and physical wellbeing

The colour associated with each chakra

How to support chakras that feel overactive or blocked

How I consciously use colour in my own wardrobe to restore balance

In the episode, I guide you through each chakra and its corresponding colour:

Root Chakra – Red

Grounding, safety, stability, confidence

Sacral Chakra – Orange

Creativity, pleasure, emotional flow

Solar Plexus Chakra – Yellow

Personal power, self-esteem, motivation

Heart Chakra – Green (and pink)

Love, compassion, emotional healing

Throat Chakra – Blue

Communication, self-expression, truth

Third Eye Chakra – Indigo / Purple

Intuition, inner wisdom, clarity

Crown Chakra – Violet / White

Spiritual connection, higher awareness

I also explain how to tell if a chakra may be too open or blocked, and how colour can gently help bring it back into balance.

Because fashion and wellness are so closely linked for me, I share real examples of how I use colour in my own clothes to:

Feel more grounded and calm

Boost confidence and clarity

Support emotional healing

Enhance creativity and intuition

If you’re watching this episode on YouTube, you’ll also see photos of my chakra-inspired outfits in each colour so you can see how I wear them in a natural, everyday way.

This is an intuitively led, open and honest solo episode where I share what came through for me around the energy of 2026.

Rather than something planned or logical, this episode was recorded from a place of deep inner knowing. I reflect on what we have collectively moved through, what is being released, and what feels ready to emerge as we move into 2026.

Why 2025 has felt like a year of shedding, release and letting go

How the energy of the Year of the Snake invited us to clear what no longer felt aligned

Why early 2026 still carries a gentle clearing and awareness phase

The role of self-worth, fear and limitation beliefs coming to the surface

The shift into the Fire Horse energy and what that means for movement, momentum and action

Why spring 2026 feels like a time of collective blossoming and expansion

The rise of the divine feminine as embodied strength, intuition and inner knowing

Why 2026 is about remembering who you truly are, not becoming someone new

This episode is an invitation to slow down, listen inward and trust yourself as you move into the year ahead.

Sending you love and happiness for 2026.

Today’s episode is a very special solo episode as The Face Yoga Expert Podcast turns 6 years old.

What started as a simple idea has grown into a global platform connecting thousands of people through Face Yoga, wellbeing, business and honest conversation.

In this celebratory episode, I’m sharing six life lessons podcasting has taught me – lessons that have shaped my business, personal life, health and relationships in ways I never expected.

This is a real, open and insightful episode, whether you’ve been listening since the very beginning or you’re tuning in for the first time.

1. Show up as you are

You don’t need to be perfect to make an impact. Authenticity builds trust and connection.

2. Everyone has something to teach me

Every conversation, guest and listener brings wisdom when we’re open enough to listen.

3. Simple set-ups can yield big results

You don’t need complicated systems or perfection to create something powerful and meaningful.

4. Slowing down builds deeper connections

True connection comes from presence, space and depth.

5. Health should be our biggest priority

Without our health, everything else becomes harder. Podcasting has consistently reminded me of this truth.

6. Deep conversation brings lifelong friendships

Some of the most meaningful friendships in my life have started through honest, open conversation on this podcast.

In this week’s solo episode of The Face Yoga Expert Podcast, I break down the five key areas of Face Yoga and how you can use them in 2026 to support glowing skin, natural lifting, and better overall wellbeing. Face Yoga is so much more than a few exercises- it’s a holistic method that works from the inside out, helping you feel good in your face and body every day.

I talk through each area in detail:

Facial Exercise

How to strengthen, tone and lift the muscles in the face for natural radiance and definition.

Facial Massage

Why massage increases circulation and boosts lymphatic drainage for healthier, more sculpted skin.

Facial Acupressure

How working with acupoints can release tension, improve energy flow and support skin health.

Facial Relaxation

The importance of letting go of habitual facial tension to soften lines naturally.

Wellbeing

How lifestyle, breath, posture, and inner balance affect your face just as much as topical routines.

I also share simple and realistic ways you can apply all five areas to your daily life in 2026, even if you’re busy. With small consistent habits, you can make a noticeable difference to how your skin looks and how you feel.

In this week’s solo episode of The Face Yoga Expert Podcast, I’m chatting to you all about the power of intention words. Every year I choose one word to guide me-  a theme, a feeling, or a vibe that I want to bring into all areas of my life. For me, this has always felt more powerful (and far more enjoyable!) than traditional New Year’s resolutions. Instead of rules and pressure, it becomes an invitation to embody something meaningful each month, all year long.

In this episode, I share:

A summary word is different from an intention word, it’s a word that reflects the year you’ve just experienced or even the last few months. It captures how life has felt and what you want to carry forward into the next chapter. It may not be the focus for the new year, but it’s a feeling or vibe that still deserves space as you move forward.

If you’re looking for a gentle but powerful ritual to set the tone for your year, this episode will inspire you to choose your own intention word and summary word, and help you bring more purpose, presence, and alignment into your daily life.

In this week’s solo episode of The Face Yoga Expert Podcast, I speak openly and honestly about how I used to feel completely depleted, exhausted and stressed in the winter, particularly in December and the lead up to Christmas. For many years this time of year left me burnt out and struggling to look after my wellness.

Then in December 2022, something significant happened that completely changed the way I approach winter and Christmas. It helped me transform how I support my wellbeing, my routine, and my self-care through a season that once felt overwhelming.

In this episode, I share:

What winters used to feel like for me and why December was so draining

What happened in 2022 that shifted everything

The key changes I made that helped me stop feeling exhausted

How I now approach winter with more balance and ease

Practical ways you can apply these tools and mindset shifts to your everyday life

If you often reach December feeling tired, overwhelmed or stretched too thin, this episode will offer comfort, insight, and simple changes that make a big difference.
