A new way to look good

Who said yoga is only about fitness of the body and mind? It includes fitness of the face as well. This is where Tova yoga comes in.

"Fitness is as important to the face as it is important to the body," explained Afsoon Javadi, the Tova trainer at Pharaohs Club, Pyramids, Wafi City, saying that Tova is being offered for the first time in the UAE.

Not only does it help older women remove wrinkles naturally, it also helps the young to stay fresh and avoid the lines. "It is a range of exercises for the muscles of the face, neck and shoulders," Javadi explained. Tova claims to help remove lines around the eyes, lips and chin. Worry lines can be eased away leaving skin fresh and rejuvenated.

During each session women learn the most effective exercises, special massage, and meditation with music. These courses are designed and offered by SHM international organisation. Founded by Mohd. Ramin Zia in 1989, the organisation focusses on helping to achieve inner peace, awareness and self-discovery.

SHM has presented different classes in Dubai on yoga and meditation, energy therapy, traditional therapy, meditation techniques, colour meditation etc.

Individual consultation is offered for all courses and is tailored to problems and abilities. Only then are suitable programmes offered.
