"Instructing yoga is very rewarding. Even though I

"Instructing yoga is very rewarding. Even though I love everything I do for work, there is something so real and pure about yoga that makes my entire heart shine. That’s why I’m feeling calm and almost foolishly happy, the same gentle feeling you get when falling in love. You don’t need to explain anything, you simply let things be as they are. That stunned realization: oh, is this what happiness is? Utter peace, being nothing, yet feeling everything. You don’t have to do anything about anything. I wish is to maintain this feeling." ⁠

The most common mistakes in gua sha technique: ⁠

The most common mistakes in gua sha technique: ⁠
⁠
- Too large angle between the tool and your skin. If the angle is too large, the effect will go too deep. Good angle is 5-45 degrees. ⁠
⁠
- The movement is pushing. Remember that the recommended movement is gentle pulling stroke, not pushing. If the movement is pushing, the effect goes easily too deep.
⁠
- The tool doesn´t glide smoothly on your face. Try to adapt the natural anatomy of your face with the tool. Imagine it is an extension of your hands. ⁠
⁠
- The lack of supportive hand when needed. Remember to use your other hand as an anchor. ⁠
⁠
Gua sha is like learning a sport. It requires regular training and mastering the technique, but also rest days. Go through the checklist because without knowing the method properly, you won´t get results and it will only be a passing fad. ⁠

Famous for its ten-step ritual, no wonder the Kore

Famous for its ten-step ritual, no wonder the Korean skin care routine can sound offputtingly complicated at first. Sound like too much work? No worries, this is where skip-care enters the scene. ⁠
⁠
Skip-care is quite literally a skin care routine that skips some of the ten steps, leaving behind just the vital stages. Remember, that there’s no point rushing if you want to get results and reap the most out the products you use. Even with the skip-care routine it’s worth carefully massaging in the cleanser for 1-2 minutes, patting in the essence according to the 7 skin method and combining your facial oil with a skin-firming and brightening facial massage. To make it simple, take a less is more attitude to skip-care: fewer products used with care. ⁠
⁠
1. Cleansing⁠
2. Essence – 7 skin method⁠
3. Moisturizer (optional)⁠
4. Facial oil ⁠

FAQ about gua sha: Can I get rid of dark eye circles with facial gua sha?⁠
⁠
There are a number of factors that can contribute to dark circles under the eyes. According to Chinese medicine dark circles are related to the kidneys. Everything that relaxes your nervous system are good for your kidneys. That includes gua sha and especially yin yoga. Balance your nervous system by doing facial gua sha and yin yoga regularly. Gua sha brightens and “opens up” the eyes and invigorates lymph fluid circulation, removing puffiness on the face and under the eyes. ⁠
