did you ever notice that when you smile, it can have a physical effect or your body? in yoga, we're often encouraged to enjoy a "smile asana" (i.e. a smile pose) when we're holding muscle-burning postures. bringing a genuine smile to your face when your thighs are on fire, truly does make it easier to hold...and dare i say enjoy...

my one teacher describes it as buddha-face - that totally "blissed-out" look of sheer contentment.
smiling makes us look more attractive, feel better, appear younger & reduces stress! (see all smile facts {here}) so, if you're looking to tap into the fountain of youth - i recommend starting with a smile or two...and maybe even a bit of laughter, because, after all, laughter is the best medicine.
