Essence
True radiance is not applied.
It is cultivated.
This training was created for women who sense that Face Yoga is more than technique -
that the face is shaped by breath, posture, nervous system, emotion, and consciousness.
Here, beauty is approached with reverence.
Teaching is grounded in embodiment.
And learning unfolds with time.
Philosophy
Face Yoga, when practiced deeply, becomes a practice of listening.
Listening to subtle tension.
Listening to expression and tone.
Listening to the places where we hold, protect, or soften.
This training honours the face as an intelligent, living system -
and the teacher as a vessel of presence, clarity, and calm authority.
Who This Is For
This training is for women who:
- value depth over speed
- seek refinement rather than trends
- want to teach with confidence rooted in embodiment
- feel called to beauty as a conscious, ethical practice
No forcing.
No performance.
Only integrity, patience, and precision.
For a long time, I felt that something was missing in how Face Yoga was being taught.
Too rushed.
Too surface-level.
Too focused on technique, and not enough on embodiment.
So I created something different.
A complete 80-hour Face Yoga Teacher Training, designed as a journey, not a rush.
You begin online, from anywhere in the world.
And then, if and when you’re ready, you deepen through an immersive retreat - either in person at our eco village in Croatia or live via Zoom.
This training is about:
- learning the face

- finding your voice as a teacher
- and embodying beauty as a lived state
You can choose:
- online only
- online + retreat
- virtual retreat participation
- or, for a very small number of women, a private 1:1 mastery path

THE RETREAT VENUE
Ananda Shambhala Eco Village is more than a venue. It is a holistic container for transformation. The environment naturally supports deep learning, embodied practice, authentic community connection, and inner stillness, making it especially suited to a teacher training format that weaves together the contemplative, physical, and relational dimensions of face yoga.
Nestled in the mountains of Gorski Kotar, close to the Kupa River, the village is surrounded by vibrant natural landscapes - gardens, forests, trails, springs, and gentle water features. This setting invites a natural slowing down, grounding, and return to rhythm. Immersion in nature supports deeper introspection, heightened somatic awareness, and profoundly restorative experiences.
The eco village embodies sustainable living as a lived practice - from permaculture gardens to eco-conscious waste management - creating a context where mindfulness is not limited to the mat or classroom, but extends into everyday life.
Throughout the village, you’ll find quiet nooks for meditation, hammocks beneath the trees, and shaded lounges - ideal for journaling, silent integration, and restorative rest between sessions
The atmosphere gently encourages presence, reflection, and a deeper connection with oneself and the natural world.

YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Face yoga has grown quickly in recent years. Yet not all growth carries depth.
This face yoga teacher training emerged from a commitment to preserve the integrity of yoga - to teach face yoga as a practice of embodiment, nervous system coherence, and conscious presence. It is for those who seek a lineage of understanding, not just a collection of techniques.
This is a professional teacher training rooted in the principles of yoga and its living philosophy.
Rooted in traditional yogic teachings, it weaves together philosophy, anatomy, breath, and subtle awareness into a method that can be responsibly and confidently taught.
You will learn how to work with the face not only as a site of aesthetics, but as an expression of posture, nervous system, emotion, and consciousness - and how to transmit this understanding to others with clarity and integrity.
The depth of this training lies in its capacity to shape how you teach, not just what you practice - offering foundations that continue to mature over time.
THE CURRICULUM
It covers not only facial yoga techniques and anatomy, but also teaching methodology, contraindications, holistic integration, and the energetic and emotional aspects of facial work.
Sculpted Glow™ Face Yoga Teacher Training – Core Curriculum
Module I - The Foundations of Sculpted Glow™
(Philosophy, Method, Inner Ecology)

Outcome

Optional Excursion to the Bosnian Pyramids
20th & 21st July
Nestled in the green heart of Bosnia, near the town of Visoko, lies one of the most enigmatic and quietly powerful sites in Europe: the Bosnian Pyramids.
Often referred to as the Pyramids of the Sun, Moon, Dragon, Earth, and Love, this valley carries an atmosphere that many describe not as spectacular — but deeply resonant, ancient, and unmistakably alive.
This is not a place that demands belief.
It is a place that invites listening.
Why This Place Matters (Especially for This Retreat)
Across cultures, pyramids were never merely monuments.
They were resonance chambers — structures aligned with Earth’s subtle energies, cosmic rhythms, sound, and consciousness.
Those who are sensitive often feel here:
- a natural calming of the nervous system
- a gentle clearing of mental noise
- a sense of being held by the Earth itself
- a remembrance that humanity once lived in deeper cooperation with life
For those immersed in Face Yoga and subtle anatomy, the pyramids echo themes you already work with:
- fascia as a listening network
- water, vibration, and micro-movement
- the face as a receiver and transmitter of inner state
- beauty arising from coherence, not force
The Ravne Tunnels — A Return to Stillness
One of the most striking aspects of this excursion is a visit to the Ravne Tunnels — an underground labyrinth where many experience:
- exceptionally clean, ion-rich air
- profound mental quiet
- effortless meditative states
- relief from chronic tension and fatigue
We will enter not as seekers of proof, but as practitioners of presence — moving slowly, breathing consciously, allowing the body and nervous system to recalibrate.
Silence here is not empty.
It is instructional.
How We Will Approach This Visit
This is not a rushed tour.
It is a contemplative field experience.
- walking gently in nature
- moments of shared silence
- optional guided reflection or meditation
- space for personal sensing and integration
There is no pressure to interpret, analyse, or conclude anything.
You are invited simply to feel:
- how your breath changes
- how your face softens
- how your inner tempo slows
- how the Earth communicates without words
Why This Excursion Is Optional
Because this place works best when approached by inner consent.
Some will feel a strong pull.
Others may prefer to stay grounded in the retreat space.
Both choices are honoured.
But for those who feel the call, this journey often becomes a quiet highlight — something that integrates long after the visit itself.
A Closing Intention
This excursion is offered in the same spirit as the retreat itself:
Not to impress.
Not to convince.
But to remember.
Remember the intelligence of the Earth.
Remember the body as a listening instrument.
Remember that humanity’s future depends on what we are willing to re-attune to, not what we try to dominate.
