Lourdes Julian Çabuk - Yoga for a Beautiful Face: Easy Exercises to Help You Look Young Again

Yoga for a Beautiful Face

Lourdes Julian Doplito abuk was born in 1950 in the Philippines and graduated from the University of Santo Tomas with a degree in medical technology.

Her deep interest in art, beauty, and spirituality inspired her to change careers, and at the beginning of the 1980s, she took yoga and healing-crystal training with Master Osho Bhagwan Shree Rashneesh.

From the 1970s until the 1990s, she owned a flower shop and a boutique and worked as a florist, decorator, and interior designer in New York City and Orlando, Florida. At the same time, she worked in a jewelry store, where she continued to learn about precious and semiprecious stones.

Starting in the 1990s, Lourdes Julian Doplito gained experience with Hatha yoga, Kundalini yoga, Raja and Kriya yoga, under the supervision of Yoga Master Adnan Ananda Siddviho abuk. At his suggestion, she studied topics like Delaying the Aging Process and Natural Beauty. This developed into her Beauty and Face Yoga program. Since 2000 she has shared her program and knowledge about Hatha and Kriya yoga at the YAASC Siddashram Yoga Center in Niantai, Istanbul, Turkey.

EASY EXERCISES TO
HELP YOU LOOK
YOUNG AGAIN

Lourdes Julian Doplito abuk

Translated from the German by Emily Banwell

Let our existence be as fragrant as jasmine
pleasant as a breeze in the spring
soft as the flowers in the cotton fields
humble as the water that flows beneath all things
and even stronger than the stones in the riverbed.

Dedication

This book is dedicated to my parents, Loretta and Manuel Doplito, who brought me into the world and raised me with a great deal of love. In this same vein, I would like to bow to all mothers and fathers in this world. As they raise their children with much effort and hard work, their only wish is to see those children be happy and successful.

Many books have already been written about yoga. If you are just beginning yoga, I would recommend choosing just one book to start with. It doesnt matter which book or which type of yoga practice you choose, since in my opinion they all serve the same purpose. The important thing is that youre interested in yoga. You can find many different books and other sources of information, and seek out a variety of yoga teachers, but in the end you will have to do the exercises yourself. Yoga will open a door for you, and the exercises will help guide you along your path to self-fulfillmentthat is, your journey of self-discovery.

Dont expect others to give you the energy to find enlightenment! The strength to awaken or increase your inner energy is found in nature. All of the living things surrounding us affect our physical energies. All life forms are made up of molecules, which in turn are made of tiny atoms. Those tiny atoms, the basis of our entire existence, are tied so closely to one another that they cant be seen with the naked eye. Ultimately, our existence rests upon this large network.
