Yoga Face Selfie Gurus Inspire Photoshop Activists to Put Mr. Bean's Face into Every Movie and Painting in the Known World

Image
A movement has begun that involves online photoshop activists taking the face of Mr. Bean (aka Rowan Atkinson), a known Yoga Face Selfie guru, and inserting it into already popular movies and paintings to give classic works new life. We here at the Yoga Face Selfie Blog expect there is a correlation between this and the movie poster image of JAWS , which likely started this trend.  Art historians everywhere are rejoicing as it is now impossible to dig through the depths of the internet to find unadulterated images of such paintings as Da Vinci's "Mona Lisa". This uptick in museum attendance has been lauded as one of the many unexpected societal bonus's of the Yoga Face Selfie 2.0 technique.  Below you will find an assortment of the creativity as previous showcased on Bored Panda and now showcased below.    This post is an act of satire. Stay tuned to this blog and all o...

Finding the Visionary Yogi in John Candy

Image
Ever seen the movie Delirious , starring John Candy? Well, up until recently neither had I. And, if I’m being completely honest, I still haven’t.  But you know what I have seen? The trailer. And I’ve embedded it below so you can see it as well. From what I’ve been able to gather scanning the trailer and the first few Google search results, the movie has something to do with a soap writer (played, I think, by Candy) who gets hit on the head and wakes up as a character in his own show, allowing him to manipulate characters….making people fall in love with him, fall out of love with each other, etc. The films was a commercial and critical failure…..but the public and critics sadly don’t know the meaning of namaste….and profundity of this brilliant piece of work is lost on them. Sadly, this work has aged better than those pretentious newspaper mouth-breathers could ever have hoped to. They are so far from Samadhi (the state of complete Self-actualization for you non-Yog...

Angela Merkel pulls EPIC Yoga Face Response to Trump for International Press

Image
We all heard how Donald Trump refused to shake Angela Merkel's hand. Then we all went to the YouTube and watched it happen while the press plaintively cried for a forgettable handshake. What Trump proceeded to not do (a handshake) incensed not only the world as a whole, but Angela Merkel, the deadliest practitioner of Yoga Face for Politicians. Some call her the "Yoga Face Selfie Ninja of the Free World", I call her "A Person Not To Be Snubbed". Sidenote: In my capacity as a professional cinematographer and event photographer, my heart went out to every photographer/cinematographer out there who would have to make the dreaded call to their directors/producers/editors that would go something like this: "Hi, this is Bill...no, there was no handshake captured...no, there was nothing I could do...honestly, no one got the photo!...what? my soul? No, I did not offer up my immortal soul to get the photo for you!...What do you mean I'm fired!?...Hello?...

It's inspiring to see how our guru's quotes have inspired other inspirational speakers!

Image
I was just on the Cool People Doing Cool Things Instagram account and stumbled across the saying "It's amazing what you can do when you're determined and have no money" by Shannon from Retro Sweat. I'm always on  Instagram , and I'm always honoured by how many other inspirational speakers are able to use the words of our guru to inspire whatever passion burns inside them. In fact, our guru often says "It's amazing the Yoga Face Selfies you can do when you're determined and have no money", which I expect may have been the inspirational quote that helped Shannon fashion her own. This quote by our guru is in answer to the question people often ask us about Yoga Face Selfie, "what are the barriers to entry?" The true answer is "none". Yes, a couple of our mantras are "If you don't record it, it didn't happen..." and "If you don't snap it. You didn't do it...", but in reality a tru...

Yoga Face Selfie Teaching Philosophies in Comparison with More Conventional Approaches to Learning

Image
In many Western Teaching Practices, fact regurgitation is the name of the game. This is not the case with the Yoga Face Selfie 2.0 techniques as practiced in modern day Canada. While working to have a face resembling anothers is a good way to start any session, the true celebration of self-realization (or self-actualization, if you prefer) is a face yogi who is able to express themselves in ways that no one can imitate.  We celebrate deviations from the normal expressions exemplified by the masses (aka Duckface) in the belief that only by deviating can one find new sources of inspiration for oneself.  Stay tuned to this blog and all our other social media platforms for more inspirational quotes from our guru!

The "Yoga Face Selfie" TV Show Pitch Makes it to Cartoon Network's Adult Swim Development Executives!!!

Image
“The face that gives thanks is a happy one, for our faces cannot feel thankful and unhappy at the same time. We don’t give face because we’re happy. We are happy because we give face.” ( Inspirational Source ) You know how you have dreams? Dreams you never think will come true? Things that seem so far fetched as to be laughable if you speak them out loud? Last night my dream came true. I got my show in front of the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim Development Execs. And it's all thanks to #YogaFaceSelfie. Walter Newman (VP, Comedy Development, Cartoon Network : Adult Swim ) may have said, "This is gonna be a hard pass", after reviewing "Yoga Face Selfie", but don't think that will discourage me. I also have a saying, "The harder a Yoga Face Selfie is to achieve, the more glorious the triumph." Heads up Rick and Morty ! You might be having a new network neighbour named "Yoga Face Selfie" sometime soon. Sincerely, Grayden ...

Robert E Kelly BBC Interview Parody by Yoga Face Selfie

Image
BBC INTERVIEWEE'S EPIC STIFF UPPER LIP WAS NO ACCIDENT Prof Robert E Kelly keeps his cool during an interview about South Korean politics when his two children interrupt him, thanks to his mastery of the Yoga Face Selfie 2.0 Technique Pose "STIFF UPPER LIP", which is one of the many poses provided in our instruction manual "Yoga Face Selfie for Politicians" This real world scenario happened live on air, on BBC World News when Kelly’s daughter lets herself into his office and is quickly followed by a baby in a rambler. He smiles and apologises, which is something any true master of yoga face learns to do early on, for the interruption. His wife then rushes into the room to drag the children out. All the while Kelly is a stone faced wall of granite. Watch the video below and watch a master of the british "stiff upper lip" in action. Robert E. Kelly is a political-science professor at Pusan National University in South Korea. He ha...

VIDEO - Face Yoga Warrior Pose by "Yoga Face Selfie"

Image
Welcome back to another episode of Yoga Face Selfie, where I help you to start taking your selfies to the next level.   Today’s pose of the day is called “Warrior”. It was inspired by the film of the same name. It requires an intense stare combined with a moderately slack jaw.  Now, if your selfie, like mine, isn’t exactly where you want to be, just use some photoshop magic to give it the proper look. Today I’ll be sharing with you a little segment of how I take my sefies from owe to wow.  Some people ask me, why are you focused on introducing the world to Selfie 2.0 when there are so many social justice issues that need addressing? My answer? I am, just think, if everyone was so focused on their selfies, there would be no time to plot global domination! There would be no more wars. There would be no more terrorists. It’s not only me that thinks this either, for example, just look at Canada’s Justin Trudeau, he’s actually putting my Yoga Face Selfie 2...

VIDEO - Face Yoga Morning Stretch by "Yoga Face Selfie"

Image
Yoga Face: it’s yoga, fo’your Face - #YogaFaceSelfie This is a quick (under 15 second) morning exercise. I call it the asymmetrical face stretch. Start with one eyebrow and then bring the other up to match it. Then bring them down and repeat as many times as feels comfortable for you. You can also open your mouth wide during the stretch - but only if it feels comfortable to your practice. If you look like this - then you know you are ding this exercise correctly If you feel you don’t have the 15 seconds required for this, you should maybe question the life choices that led to such a abysmal lack of time for personal growth in your life. Also, remember, if you don’t document it, it didn’t happen. Prove you’re making the right life choices by posting with the hashtag #YOGAFACEtagram - so we know that you know, you’re making the right choices. *By doing these exercises every day you will become the most empowered, loving, and balanced version of yourself and hopefully by d...
