Signature Session

Activate an overlooked muscle that releases pain, restores alignment, and improves how you feel every day.

This small, but often ignored organ influences your posture, your breathing, your emotional expression, and the subtle energy that moves through your entire upper body.

When the tongue is tight or out of place, it can contribute to tension in the neck, jaw, shoulders, and back as the body works to stay aligned.

A single, simple shift may create a noticeable sense of relief, and it has the potential to change the way you move, feel, and experience your day.

With Annelise Hagen

What you'll get from this Signature Session.

In this 45-minute Signature Session, face yoga pioneer and The Yoga Face author Annelise Hagen guides you through a powerful, single-experience transformation — no daily lessons, and no overwhelm, just one deeply intentional session.

Using gentle tongue exercises, posture resets, yogic mudras, acupressure points, breathwork, fascia education, and subtle energetic practices, Annelise shows how the tongue governs the jaw, neck, shoulders, spine, and emotional expression.

Annelise's transformative method combines guided meditation, strengthening and activation drills, and integrative movements that dissolve long-held patterns of tension.

From people who took it

What people are saying.

I've been experiencing jaw and neck tension for over a year and tried various massages, chiropractors, and other treatments without much success. This Signature Session helped me release tension throughout my jaw, temporals, neck, and even in my clavicle. Amazing, thank you!
Jorge H.
These techniques help with the neck muscles, especially if you hold a lot of tension there. In the city, stress is constant. This works immediately to ease it.
Forest E.
This workshop is revolutionary. It gets you stretching in places you would not normally stretch, especially after a rough day. It even makes you smile.
Naya D.
I have had TMJ for years — so severe that it has damaged my teeth and gums. The tension in my jaw is overwhelming. These exercises helped me release my jaw, and I even started yawning, which was the most stretching I have done facially in a long time.
Karen A.
I did not realize the tongue is so connected to overall wellness, not only in the jaw, neck, and shoulders, but in the whole being. The breathing work is calming and releasing. You make some strange expressions in the workshop, but it is worth it for the facial freedom.
