And that&#8217;s a good thing as otherwise, people tend to get too self-conscious, always pulling down their shirt or fixing a lock of hair, adjusting this or that, self-analyzing with those critical eyes of ours &#8211; so much judgement.  It&#8217;s less about vanity and how you look but more about what&#8217;s inside&#8230; and yet, I guess it&#8217;s women&#8217;s eternal desire to look better and that desire knows no borders&#8230; Still, each student pulling out a mirror like this and gazing at their own face in a yoga studio and calling it &#8220;facial yoga&#8221; seems a bit &#8230; scary to me.  Almost sacrilegious &#8230; Maybe I will get used to it once I&#8217;m there&#8230;since there are enough little shrines all over, maybe studios are not treated as a sanctuary the way I treat the place&#8230; <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wagayoga.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/facialyoga2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/wagayoga.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/facialyoga2.jpg\" alt=\"facialyoga2\" width=\"259\" height=\"195\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6737\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For now, I think I will just go do a down dog with a cat smile &#8211; and ponder on this matter&#8230;lol.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Silly Goofy Face?
