FACE CARD VALID - what better way to kick off Leo season than with a nourishing facial self-massage workshop led by the talented, educated and lovely
@almamayo.facilist 🦁
Alma joined our girl’s day and taught us the dynamics of our 43 facial muscles (43!!! Can you believe that ish?!). Some muscles need to relax, some need to build strength. And like all our muscles they give us the chance to slow down and honor alllllll the parts that make up our body.
Honoring my body continues to be one of the greatest challenges, and joys, of my life. And the irony seems to be that the more I grow in my practice, the more opportunities my body provides to take more care, and pay more attention!
Which is why I loved this workshop, and know it would be incredible to experience yourself, for yourself.
Alma showed us techniques and tools for each muscle group. And most importantly shared lots of ideas for how to make these exercises and movements part of our every day lives. A chance to turn an ordinary chore into a ritual?! Let’s go!
Alma also taught us how to treat our skin with intentional care. The natural, Portuguese products we used to cleanse, strengthen and protect our skin added a touch of luxury (Leo season!). I was instantly struck by the aromatherapy and medicine of woman-founded
@eaudemarie_naturalskincare. A beautiful reminder of how many gifts there are on this Earth to bring us closer to our internal beauty, power and grace.
As I get ready to press another floor up on the elevator of my life, I’m so grateful for this experience. To embrace this face, this body, this life. And on the good days, to CELEBRATE all of it.
Here’s to the good days, and this face card, never expiring! ✨
