Whether:
1. You already have an established practice or a holistic, wellness-based business up and running, and want to add face yoga classes to your list of services.
2. You're looking to redirect your career. You're right at the beginning stages or you don't yet work in the industry, but you're considering entering the market with the face yoga method and broadening your skills.
3. You want to learn face yoga in a systematic way from the foundation up because you know having this foundation would help you maintain a more consistent practice and encourage others to do the same.
Now Imagine that instead of buying every book you can get your hands on, that promises to take you to the next step
Or investing in a new skill-set that doesn't cater to today's demands
Or getting misleading marketing advice from forums where newbies are teaching each other
Or just trying to "go it alone" and hoping for the best...
Instead you join ONE step-by-step course...
That not only teaches, but also certifies you, in a unique area that's been proven successful time and time again. This course also show you how to put your newfound knowledge to work and advertise your practice.
How much time, money, and stress would that save you?
Actually, I've been creating and perfecting face exercises for over 10 years.
At first, for myself, because I was left with a lopsided eye area after a car accident and was looking for ways to make it more symmetrical. Soon enough it evolved into a project bigger than just me.
Word about the Face Yoga Method spread and hundreds of people began practicing. Before I knew it, I was giving interviews on TV, graced almost 100 Japanese magazines, worked as a corporate sponsor for several major brands, and since 2006 I've trained over 600 Japanese Face Yoga certified teachers.
I’ve helped students incorporate the face yoga method in combination with other markets such as tango, yoga, psychology, cosmetology, fitness, kinesiology, medicine and many others. It’s a method that I've now certified hundreds of students in.
They are not only using it themselves but have turned it into full time businesses.
I have spent more than ten thousand hours mastering a method that changed my life and that had only impacted a tiny handful of people and that didn’t sit well with me. I knew I wanted my legacy to be bigger.
I felt like I had a duty to do something more with my life and I knew that certifying face yoga teachers would allow my method to impact people on a much larger scale, so they in turn could impact the lives of their students and have this massive ripple effect.
If you decide to join me, you’ll get where you want to go, no question about it.
But the road between here and there might not always be pretty.
It's impossible to properly go through all modules I have prepared for you in just a few days, that's why the Teacher Certification Course will stretch over a period of 4 months, where the content and the assignments are "drip-fed" as to not overwhelm you.
I don't believe in a "magic pill", "easy button" or "get rich overnight" promises.
If you're serious about becoming a successful and effective face yoga teacher, there's nothing standing in your way. Your success is my success and I bent over backwards to make sure you have EVERYTHING you need laid out for you, in a comprehensive, easy to understand system.
The Face Yoga Method is TIMELESS because people will always want to look and be healthy.
If you look back in history, face yoga dates back as far as 2000 years ago. Cleopatra and the Empress of the Imperial Court in China were both known to use facial exercises to maintain a youthful look.
I wasn't the first person ever to have practiced face exercises, but I was one of the first people to bring them to the public with a structured step-by-step plan.
At the same time technology is evolving, word spreads like wildfire, we no longer depend on big companies or the media for advertising and holding events, because now, with a click of a button we can create a movement.
When I first started the internet was gaining momentum but not at the rate it is now. I still relied on magazines, newspapers and TV to spread my message, but today?
I am amazed with the success my face yoga teachers in Japan have experienced with simple Facebook pages and the events they’re creating, the workshops they’re holding, all without having to spend a fortune on media campaigns.
The Face Yoga Method helps you generate predictable consistent monthly revenue.
There's not a single person over the age of 25 that hasn't thought about the signs of aging. "Gravity isn't waiting" - that's a message everyone can relate to, regardless of race, age, gender or ZIP code.
If you have an existing fitness or wellness business you can easily add face exercises to the list of services you already provide. Not only will it provide extra value to your existing customers, but it will also help you stand out, because at the moment you have virtually no competition.
Existing studios will also be happy to have you, it is only a matter of packaging your information in a way that makes it easy to understand and knocking on the right doors. We will teach you how to do all of this in the Marketing Module.
What will also happen is that as you get more comfortable you'll start holding larger and more advanced classes where you can start charging even more. You could hold events, work with corporations, the sky literally is the limit because right now you would have virtually no competition.

The Face Yoga Method is NOT about the next big thing,the latest fad or something that’s going to last only for the next few months.
It’s a proven step by step methodology that focuses on your facial movements and expressions and teaches you how to exercise your face muscles to create a firmer, more sculpted face line.
In this module, we're going to be covering lessons such as:
It's one thing to get a partial view of something from the outside, and it's another to get a complete, behind-the-scenes look and understand all the small nuances behind what's really going on.
The trick is in knowing what to do and how to do it; this is where most people get it wrong and FAIL.
Face yoga is NOT about contorting your face just to get your muscles moving, it's about knowing HOW to move your face muscles, so that you can trigger the one muscle that you need to work on, and isolate and relax the rest.
When you understand the underline SCIENCE... then it strictly becomes a matter of learning the poses and knowing how to teach them.
- You will have a clear understanding of how face muscles work.
- You will be able to identify the secrets behind my face yoga poses.
- You will be able to mix and remix the poses to create unique workshops and routines.
- You will be one step closer to becoming an authority in the field because now you have the knowledge to back up your practice.

In this module I’m going to show you the exact method that I use to lead my face yoga classes, tips on how to keep your students coming back, how to teach workshops or private lessons, including the exact PDFs and sheets you want to pass around, such as check sheets, guides and class evaluation forms.
We're going to be covering lessons such as:
One way or another teaching has always been a part of my life.
I already had 7 years of experience in teaching high-school and college classes in Tokyo, the U.S. and Canada. I've also personally held thousands of face yoga classes with as few as 4 attendees to over a hundred at a time.
But you see... It's not enough to just know how to practice face yoga for yourself, the challenge is in knowing how to share and teach your knowledge.
In this module I compressed my own teaching experience in a handful of actionable lessons that will serve as the backbone in your practice. It will teach you everything you need to know in order to get started ESPECIALLY if you've never held a class before.
In my years of practice I notice teachers making these 3 common mistakes:
1. Not practicing what you preach. I made sure to design the Teacher Certification Course in such a way that you can successfully become a teacher without having practiced a single face yoga pose before. Because I will teach you everything you need to know, no previous knowledge is required. You will learn how to become a face yoga teacher and at the same time change your face.
2. Not planning the classes ahead. We spend a lot of time together in the Teacher Certification Course making sure you know how to plan your routines and sequences, how to adapt to your class’s needs, how to organize themed workshops and more.
3. Not focusing on having your students return again and again. There are a few reasons why it can sometimes be difficult to keep students coming back to class, and you need to know how to tackle these in advance in order to be an effective teacher. You’d be surprised to find out how easy it actually is to fix and prevent some of these issues.
- You will be an inspiring and effective face yoga instructor.
- You will know how to manage and lead a face yoga class.
- You will have the necessary tools to ask for feedback.
- You will know how to listen to your students and create workshops that best suit them.
In the 3rd module we're going to be covering the meat of the course - the actual face yoga poses.
In total there are 70 poses you'll need to learn in order to successfully become a face yoga instructor.
They're divided into 10 different areas, such as:
- The Warm Up
- The Forehead Area
- The Eye Area
- The Mouth Area
- The Cheek Area
- The Lip Area
- The Nasolabial Folds
- The Neck and Jawline Area
- The Cool Down
These areas might sound familiar. Which is great!
But remember the temptation I mentioned earlier...
Thinking that you already know something or you already tried it. Because like I said before, sometimes the difference between failure and success, comes down to the smallest details.
You'll find that once you become a teacher and start holding classes, people will come to you and point out specific problems they're having, for example an asymmetrical eye area, a gummy smile or droopy eyelids.
These corrections are different from say... smoothing out smile lines.
Your students will LOVE these classes because you'll be holding a workshop that's specifically benefiting them. Not in some generic way, but based on their specific situation. You will not only teach them how to fix their specific problem but also how to change the habit that formed it in the first place.
We're going to be covering lessons such as:
- Exercises for Correcting a Gummy Smile
- Exercises for a Symmetrical Eye Area
- Exercises for a Symmetrical Mouth Area
- Exercises for Droopy Eyelids
- Sample Sequences for 30, 60, and 90 Minute Classes/Workshops
When joining the Teacher Certification Course you will have access to the full logistics behind getting certified. In a nutshell, these are the main requirements:
- Read all the course materials & watch all the videos on the online portal
- Written Assignments - aka "The Homework". These are spread throughout the course, with each module. You will have to complete and send them to Fumiko via email, each assignment having its own deadline.
- Live Workshops - although optional. The live workshops were designed to give you an extra motivational push and to answer to whatever uncertainty you may have. There are a set number of workshops scheduled in advance for each of the modules, each of them will have a different topic, ranging from face yoga poses to marketing advice.
- Introductory Video - you will have to provide a video recording on a topic that Fumiko will provide in advance.
- Certification Process - your final test will be held on Skype or Google Hangout, one on one with Fumiko. We have a dedicated month scheduled for live tests where you will be able to reserve the date and time that best fits your need. The material you need to have prepared for the test will be provided in advance.
You might be thinking “Wait! How do I get students to take my classes in the first place?”
Don’t worry, we’re going to get to that right now.
The answer is all about having the right marketing strategy.
The BONUS Marketing Module is taught by Maria, my sister-in-law and the business mind behind the Face Yoga Method. It focuses strictly on how you can make a living with face yoga, specifically, how to advertise your practice.
As you’re going through your actual face yoga lessons and assignments you will also have access to information that will help you strategize and create a marketing plan.
This way, as soon as you finish the course and get your certification you’ll be prepared to dive right in and start advertising yourself, both offline and online.
Don’t worry if you have zero experience with marketing, I know you’re going to LOVE this.
Maria is going to lay out everything you have to do, step by step.
And the best part?
You will be able to get started on your marketing plan even before receiving your certification. In fact, if you’re willing to put in a couple of extra hours, by the time you actually receive your Face Yoga Method Certification you will have everything else prepared, all you’ll have to do is start teaching.
