In Conversation With Preety
Face Yoga Coach and Beauty Consultant based in Nairobi
We meet Preety between online sessions, her energy calm and composed, the kind of glow that comes less from products and more from practice. Based in Nairobi and working with clients globally through virtual sessions, Preety has carved out a niche in natural facial toning and holistic beauty through Face Yoga.
Her philosophy is simple. Your face tells the story of your lifestyle. And you have more influence over that story than you think.
Here is our full conversation.
For readers encountering your work for the first time, how do you describe your practice and the need it responds to?
“I help people naturally tone, lift and relax their facial muscles through Face Yoga,” Preety explains. “Using simple exercises, massage and relaxation techniques.”
She points out that modern life is constantly visible on our faces. Long screen hours. High stress. Busy schedules. Poor posture. All of it can show up as tension in the jaw, dullness in the skin, puffiness, premature lines and early ageing.
“Face Yoga offers a safe and natural way to restore glow, firmness and confidence without invasive treatments,” she says. “It is about working with the muscles and tissues of the face in the same way we would care for the body.”
What personal or professional journey led you into this work?
Preety’s journey began during her time as a beauty consultant. Working closely with clients of different ages and skin types, she saw a recurring pattern.
“Many people were looking for quick cosmetic fixes,” she recalls. “But the results were often temporary.”
She wanted something more sustainable. Something that addressed the root rather than the surface. When she discovered Face Yoga and began practising herself, the results surprised her.
“I realised it was a powerful way to support the skin and facial muscles from within,” she says. “That is what inspired me to help others improve their appearance and confidence naturally.”
How long have you been practising, and how has your work evolved?
Preety has been practising for several years, and her approach has expanded far beyond isolated facial exercises.
“Over time, I realised the face reflects everything,” she says. “Lifestyle. Emotions. Stress levels. Overall wellbeing.”
Her work now incorporates posture correction, breathing techniques, stress release practices and guidance on daily habits. Because a lifted face is not just about muscle tone. It is about how you hold yourself, how you breathe, and how much tension you carry.
What does a typical session with you involve?
All of Preety’s sessions are conducted online, allowing her to work with clients across Kenya and internationally.
Each session begins with an assessment. She observes facial tension areas, posture alignment and discusses lifestyle habits that may be contributing to visible stress.
From there, clients are guided through personalised Face Yoga exercises, massage techniques and relaxation practices tailored to their needs.
“They also receive simple routines to practise daily,” she explains. “And I provide follow-up support to track progress.”
The emphasis is consistency over intensity.
Who is your work most effective for?
“My work is most effective for adults who want a natural approach to facial toning, anti-ageing and stress relief,” she says. “And who are willing to practise consistently.”
It is not suited to those seeking instant results without effort, or individuals looking for medical or surgical cosmetic procedures.
“This is about small daily habits,” she adds. “Not quick fixes.”
How do you define wellness, particularly in a Kenyan context?
For Preety, wellness is deeply practical.
“It means feeling relaxed, confident and energised despite our busy lives.”
In Kenya, she notes, many people carry stress from work, family and daily responsibilities. That stress often shows up on the face long before it is acknowledged internally.
“True wellness is about managing stress, caring for yourself naturally and ageing with confidence rather than chasing temporary solutions.”
How does your practice support local communities?
Preety regularly conducts online group classes, workshops and wellness sessions designed to make Face Yoga simple, affordable and accessible.
“My goal is to encourage self-care,” she says. “And to help more people learn practical techniques they can do anytime, anywhere.”
By working online, she ensures her methods are not limited by geography.
What are common misconceptions about your work?
She laughs when asked this.
“Many people think Face Yoga is just making funny faces.”
In reality, the face contains more than forty muscles. Like any other muscle group, they respond to intentional movement and relaxation.
“With consistency, the results are natural and long-lasting,” she explains. “It is structured, targeted work, not random expressions.”
What shifts have you observed in clients over time?
The physical changes are often the first to be noticed. A more lifted appearance. Reduced puffiness. Brighter-looking skin. Softer expression lines. Less jaw and forehead tension.
But beyond aesthetics, something deeper shifts.
“They feel more relaxed. More confident,” she says. “They become more connected to their self-care routine.”
Face Yoga becomes less about appearance and more about daily mindfulness.
For someone at the beginning of their wellness journey, where should they start?
“Start with just five minutes a day,” Preety advises.
Sit upright. Relax your jaw and forehead. Gently massage your face. Pay attention to where you hold tension.
“Small daily habits, done consistently, create visible and lasting change.”
She pauses before adding one final thought.
“Face Yoga is not just about looking younger. It is about releasing stress, building confidence and taking a few mindful minutes for yourself each day, from wherever you are.”
In a world obsessed with instant transformation, Preety’s work is a reminder that sometimes the most powerful changes begin with five quiet minutes and your own two hands.
