阅读理解-----C

At a recent class, yoga instructor Hagen taught several facial exercises designed to build up facial muscles．Some women practise moves including "The Lion" , showing the tongue hanging out and eyes rolled up．Hagen encourages class members to hold the position for 60 seconds, joking．"You can do this any time．It really helps you get a seat on the train．"

Hagen recently published a book—The Yoga Face: Remove Wrinkles （皱纹）with the Ultimate Natural Facelift．She developed a workshop using facial yoga because women wanted to look their best．

Facial muscles become weak and flabby （松驰的）and need regular exercise to reduce wrinkles．Besides "The Lion", other exercises include "Satchmo" ．in which the cheeks are blown out Louis Armstrong-style, and "Marilyn", in which attractive kisses are blown to strengthen mouth muscles for full and firm lips．

Hagen recommends facial yoga for those wanting to find outer and inner beauty, saying, "The emotional aspect is just as important as the physiological （生理学的）."

But she doesn't rule out plastic surgery or Botox．"I don' t rule it out for myself．One day I may feel like I need that．But regardless of that, maintaining elasticity （弹性的）is extremely important, especially if you have had Botox and plastic surgery," she said．

While making faces in front of strangers might frighten some, those who attended the class thought it the perfect way to fight against busy New York lifestyles．" Working in New York is very stressful．" Kathy Healey said, "It's a perfect way to end the week．"
