Wakeful Face Yoga (Opening in 2027)

A few kind minutes for the face you already have—pairing gentle facial movement with slow, steady breath so your face softens and your busy mind has somewhere kind to rest. Across 10 gentle modules (50 lessons + 10 module introductions), you release unconscious tension in your jaw, forehead, eyes, and neck and build a personal 3-to-15-minute daily ritual.

🎧 Walk With Adele — 90-Second Audio Welcome & Eyes-Free Practice Preview (Read or Listen)

“Welcome. I’m Adele. So much of the tension we carry—through long workdays, caregiving, and quiet worry—collects silently in our jaw, around our eyes, and across our forehead. Pairing gentle, feather-light touch with a slow, natural out-breath gives a busy mind something simple and kind to focus on, helping your whole nervous system settle…”

What Changes in Your Real Week (Read/Write & Visual)

60-Second Felt Preview (Kinesthetic & Auditory)

  2. Warm Palming or Temple Rest: Cup warm palms over closed eyes (zero pressure on eyeballs) or rest fingertips at feather-light Pressure 1–2 on your temples.
  3. One Long Out-Breath Hum: Breathe in through your nose and out with a quiet, steady "mmmm" hum.

Version 1.3 · 19 October 2026

A few kind minutes for the face you already have. Not a project to fix it. Not medical care. Face yoga and breath, practised together, for every face and every age.

The first live cohort meets on Thursdays at 18:30 SAST, from 4 March to 13 May 2027. There is no meeting on 25 March. One module opens each live week, and the final module opens across the last two weeks. Every lesson is complete in its written form. Where a video has been added, it shows the same practice.

Stop if anything hurts. If you have a health condition, a recent facial procedure, or neck, jaw or eye problems, check with a qualified health professional before you begin. Jaw clicking or locking: stop, and skip the jaw-opening poses. A sudden change in one side of the face needs urgent medical care, not practice.

The live cohort is R4,800, or $320 if you pay in dollars. After this cohort, the same course with the recordings is R2,900, or $190. Paying from South Africa by PayFast? Write to adele@wakefuljourney.com and I will send the details. You will receive a code for the course once payment has cleared.

You can pause or leave. A missed day is a door, not a verdict.

The Big-Picture Outcome — How This Course Serves You

What changes when face yoga is paired with breath and nervous-system safety

Instead of bracing your jaw, squinting at screens, or pulling at delicate skin, you build a calm 3-to-10-minute daily ritual that softens habitual tension across your forehead, eyes, cheeks, jaw, and neck while giving a busy mind something soothing and physical to focus on.

Whether you learn best by seeing, listening, reading, or doing, this course is built so you never feel lost or overwhelmed:

1. Visual — Clear Spatial Vectors & Three-Stage Path

You move through three clear stages—Prepare & Understand (Modules 0–4) → Practise by Region (Modules 5–8: Forehead, Eyes, Cheeks/Jaw, Neck/Posture) → Live the Rhythm (Module 9)—supported by 32 custom Call to Clarity v0.2 diagrams and non-face finger-anchor vector maps.

2. Auditory — Eyes-Free "Garden Walk" Audio Tracks

Screen-tired? Six hands-free/eyes-free audio practices plus a 90-second Walk With Adele audio preview guide your breath, posture, jaw release, and Three Quiet Minutes reset so you can practise away from your screen.

Audio preview slot ready: "Notice the space between your eyebrows and the hinge of your jaw right now—and how simply bringing kind attention and an unhurried breath there begins to soften the whole upper body…"
