SIMPLE DAILY EXERCISE ROUTINES that produce IMMEDIATE and cool changes to tongue, and posture
"They feel so good that it's ADDICTIVE!?"
The first time I discovered these "tongue balancing" exercises, I was a skeptic.
I didn't expect much. They were just some stretches for the head and neck I found online. I was desperate to fix my "mouth breather face" and asymmetry, so I was experimenting.
But after I did them... I was blown away.
I was a 15 year old kid - insecure to say the least. Looking for any solution to my "long and narrow" mouth breather face that I didn't like. (This was pre-Mewing, by the way).
I would spend hours in the mirror, agonizing over the shape of my jaw. I would compare myself to friends with more attractive, square looking jaws and wonder... what happened?
I was desperate to fix this. And so I did what any teenage boy with an internet connection would do... I researched.
I stumbled on a video online, how to fix "ugly" forward head posture. (I was the right audience...)
However when I did these exercises I started to notice something amazing...
After stretching for 5 minutes, something felt different. My tongue was pressing more on my palate, and more evenly, without me having to "do" anything. I wasn't Mewing. I wasn't trying to push it more evenly. It just was.
"Could this be true?"...
I did them for another 5 minutes... then another 5 minutes. And every time I did them, I felt my tongue pushing more and more... It was magical.
Then when I looked in the mirror, I saw it. My jaw and neck area were looking better! Just from a few stretches!
I became a little bit obsessed with these exercises... I would do them all the time. Before going to parties, in the morning listening to music. I would do them in the mirror, and watch as my body changed in front of my eyes.
When I started the BFF Youtube channel, it was to share these exercises with the world. And the response was amazing. Some people completely fixed their asymmetry, just from a few simple exercises!
Needless to say, I started doing these exercises all the time. I would do them at University, before parties, because I knew they were making me better looking every time I did them. So it was like a pre-game routine. I did them so much, that my roommates would ask me "Is there ever a time not to stretch?" But for me, I knew it was making me better. And I was excited.
It wasn't until years later that I learned how these stretches actually work to change your face.
How is it possible, that stretching your neck, can change your face?
As I started learning about Mewing, and later working with Doctor's and dentists around the Toronto area, I realized what was happening:
Every time I did these stretches, I was changing my tongue's position on my upper palate. By improving my posture, there was a direct and noticeable change in my tongue's suction on my palate, which changes the appearance of my jawline, my neck posture, and even my actual jaws shape and position over time.
Tongue suction changes the "under jaw" appearance
Tongue suction changes the "under jaw" appearance
I also learned that the tongue can literally mould and shape our jaws and faces over time.
I learned this from Dr. Mona Moy, who is an ALF practitioner. She taught me that our jaws can change at any age, and that even patients in their 60's are able to see gradual expansion over time as their tongue position and function improves.
So that, by improving this resting tongue position through these exercises, over time, as the tongue presses more on the upper palate, the jaws will begin to expand.
I was so intrigued by this, and I knew if it helped me... It could help others as well. And that's why I eventually started the Best Face forward Youtube channel.
When I shared these exercises, I was excited to find out that many people were experiencing the same thing. They got results, just from a set of exercises!
I spent the proceeding years experimenting with exercises. Meeting professionals, dentists, myofunctional therapists, for the BFF Youtube channel, and to try and find the best ways to help myself, and thousands of others improve.
As we put these exercises to the test on Best Face Forward, what we found was expected:
Many people were able to see changes in their facial asymmetry, gradual expansion, and facial changes from these exercises.
Along the way, and with their help, we've had over 600+ program members use these exercises to improve their facial shape, posture, and health.
Imagine if you had a set of exercises that improved your tongue posture, and jaw every time you did them.
What would you do?
Not just in your head. Not like "I think this is working".
I'm saying, you finish the routine, and you immediately feel a difference.
Your tongue is pushing more on your palate, your posture, jaw, and face, all look better. After a simple set of exercises. What if you knew, that if you kept doing them, you'd improve more and more every day? You're achieving a new "personal best" for your facial structure and posture each day. How would you look and feel in 1 months time? 3 months? 1 year?
If you knew these exercises were working - you'd probably be excited. It wouldn't be an effort. It wouldn't be a struggle. You would want to do them every day.
That's how people in our program feel. They ask me "is it ok if I do them multiple times per day?". Because they feel themselves improving, and they want to go fast!
Now, these routines are available for you to try, in our best and most refined program yet.
Introducing...
The ALIGN Program
From Best Face Forward
These routines will not work for everyone. You have to have an open mind to try them, and you have to be inquisitive and curious enough to notice which exercises are working for you the best.
But if you can dedicate 15 minutes a day to doing these exercises, I can virtually guarantee you will feel the changes. And if you're like me, and countless others, you could experience such cool and amazing changes that you can't even believe - that a set of exercises can work to change your face in this cool and awesome way.
The Methodology Behind These "Cool and Addictive" Exercise Routines
Here's the underlying physiology behind how these exercises produce these cool and addictive changes to your tongue and jaws:
1. Reducing forward head posture:
The further forward your head comes from the midline of your body, the harder it is for your tongue to work. As you improve your posture, your tongue is immediately better able to suction up to your palate. This is why these exercises can produce such an immediate feeling of change.
Every time you do these, you are releasing "locks" that keep your head forward. Your shoulders rolled forward. And your upper and lower body misaligned.
2. Your posture affects your tongue
When your head position changes, it IMMEDIATELY changes your tongue position. Most people feel the tongue is better able to suction up to the palate, because forward head posture has been reduced.
In short:
As you reduce forward head posture, one exercise at a time, you'll literally feel the change in your tongue, and jaws, and airways. This is cool in and of itself, what's even cooler is the potential long term changes
3. Your tongue affects your face
As the tongue pushes more fully and evenly on your palate, your jaws can begin to change, and expand, and improve.
Just as they became WORSE from the tongue not being there, as the tongue position improves, you'll see the changes in your jaw. Just like hundreds of our members have:
Long Term Improvements are Possible
In the long term, imagine what's possible if you do these exercises each morning? You're changing your underlying physiology. It may seem like small changes, but they feel so cool and exciting that you may become addicted to them, and want to do them more and more each day, because you know you're acheiving a new personal best each time you do!
How the Program Works
The align program is a step by step, daily exercise program. Inside, you'll do daily 5-15 minute routines, that all have the same aim: IMMEDIATE change. Change that you can feel in your tongue, and in your posture - and yes, in your jaw.
Phase 1: 30-Day Program
30 Day "Align Journey"
For the first 30 days - we introduce one follow along exercise routine per day. You'll learn each of the ALIGN exercises one by one, experimenting with them. Experiencing them. And recording the changes you feel.
30-Days of Experimentation
Every day for 30 days, you will receive a follow along exercise routine.
Where the goal is to feel a change immediately after the exercises. ESPECIALLY, a change in resting tongue position.
In short... you will FEEL the exercises working, which is cool, and fun, and motivating unto itself.
Each week progressively moves through the body, to unlock various parts of your posture that may be keeping you STUCK.
A Journey Through The Body
Each week progressively moves through the body, to unlock various parts of your posture that may be keeping you STUCK.
Daily 5 Minute Follow Along Routines
These videos are all "follow along style". All you need to do is play the video and do the exercises as demonstrated by Ryan, and the myofunctional therapist Joe Sigfried.
Gradual Weekly Progressions
Over the 30 days, these videos will systematically, one at a time, walk you through each "tongue balancing" routine in the program.
Everything is not addressed "all at once", or it would be overwhelming. These videos are generally between 10-15 minutes, to encourage you to follow the program all the way through.
Phase 2: Feedback
The most effective exercises FOR YOU
As you do the routines, we will document which exercises you feel the coolest, most immediate change!
The most important part of this program, is to continue with the routines that YOU FEEL working the best.
As you do these routines, our goal ALWAYS is that you feel the changes IMMEDIATELY after you complete the routines. For as you do, you will be inspired and motivated to keep going, and keep seeing more and more changes.
Documenting The BIGGEST Changes
After you finish a routine, there will be guided prompts in the APP to help you reflect on the changes you feel, and mark down the exercises that matter the most for YOU and your specific case.
Determining Your "Align Blueprint"
These prompts also help us detect and record imbalances that YOU FEEL from left to right.
This helps us create your IDEAL program for YOUR specific imbalances.
As you do these routines, our goal ALWAYS is that you feel the changes IMMEDIATELY after you complete the routines. For as you do, you will be inspired and motivated to keep going, and keep seeing more and more changes.
The Changes You'll Feel:
When the tongue suctions up more fully (AND EVENLY), it has immediate and longer-term benefits
IMMEDIATE BENEFITS:
- Your under chin area will automatically tighten up, and look better, because the tongue is connected to the suprahyoid muscles, that tighten the area under your chin
- Your airway will likely improve.
- Your posture will look better. We are attracted to open posture, relaxed shoulders. And we are not attracted to forward head posture. Your body will look better. And this happens after every routine.
30 Day GOAL
After 30 days - your ALIGN blueprint.
After 30 days, you'll have learned all of the 60+ most important exercises in this program. More importantly, you'll have experience them, and given us feedback on which produce the most immediate change.
FROM THERE, our ALIGN feedback system will take over. We'll help determine based on your responses, which exercises are most important for you to do and continue doing, to produce the most amount of change.
Then after the initial 30 day journey, here's how you'll continue through experiencing these amazing, addictive changes from the exercise routines:
Phase 3: FOCUS
The most effective exercises FOR YOU
You'll keep doing the routines where you feel the biggest change in your tongue after you do them.
The idea here - is you do the routines where you feel every time you do them, that your tongue posture and position levels up, and your face and jaw are looking and feeling better, JUST from a set of exercises.
From there, your goal is to continue doing the routines every day that are the most important for you.
Inside the APP, after 30 days you'll have access to the entire ALIGN Program for a full year, to maximize the results that you can achieve, and stick to the process.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How is this different from Mewing?
The problem with Mewing, is it's asking you to exert conscious control over somehting that our bodies ALREADY control subconsciously. Our tongue's have a certain resting position and function. When you go to sleep every night, yuor tongue goes to this position. To try and force it, generally only causes tension, anxiety, and increased sympathetic tone. This program is completely different because we are using exercises to level up the resting position of your tongue. So without you trying, you are "Mewing" differently, and better. And that is the goal. Nobody with ideal tongue position and facial structure ever had to "do Mewing" to get there. The tongue knows what to do, if we release the restrictions to it doing so, and functioning how it knows how to. That is the goal of this program, daily, small, levelling up, incremental improvements to your tongue posture that you can feel immediately after you finish doing the routines.
What changes can I expect from this program?
There is obviously no "guaranteed" results, because everyone is different, and it's important to do the right exercises for you, and your body. With that being said, the goal of these exercises is to feel immediate improvements. And I mean IMMEDIATE improvements. As in, right after you finish the exercises for that day, you feel a change. As you do each exercise, you feel more and more of an improvement. What improvements you ask? Here are the most notable, and most important:
1. A change in your "resting tongue posture". This is the biggest one I noticed when I started doing them. RIGHT AFTER you finish the exercises, you feel your tongue is "different". It's more easily, and fully suctioning up to your palate. This happens because as your posture improves, it makes it easier for your tongue to work correctly. Your tongue knows what to do. You just need to remove the restrictions to it doing so. In this program, we do this with the daily exercises. So you'll likely feel:
- Your swallowing pattern is slightly different, and more improved. Your tongue is suctioning up to your palate more fully. Your under chin area may look tighter, and your jaw may look more defined.
- Your posture will likely improve very quickly. Your neck and trap area may feel more relaxed, and look more attractive as well.
What about expansion and bone growth?
If you improve your tongue position on your palate, so that it's pressing against your maxilla more fully, especially the inside of your pre-maxilla behind the first 6 teeth, then your maxilla is likely to expand, and you'll see this change visually in the mirror. This is the second order consequence. Meaning, the first and most important change, is your resting tongue position, and posture. If that tongue position improves, and stays in an improved position, your jaws will expand over time. How long? It really depends. However if you feel the change in tongue, you will see the change in your jaws, and in our experience, this happens very rapidly if a true change is achieved.
What about for fixing asymmetry?
This program is designed to help fix asymmetry. Because facial asymmetry is almost always connected to a full body alignment issue. When the jaws are uneven, it is almost always caused by the tongue being uneven, and pushing unevenly on your upper palate. As you improve your tongue balance through the posture exercises, you can feel your tongue pressing more on the weaker side of your jaw, and face, and therefore expand it, and bring it out and forward in 3-dimensions. Fixing asymmetry is one of the main use cases for this program. Although again, not guaranteed, and varies depending on your case.
What if it doesn't work?
If you feel 0 changes or improvements to your posture or tongue position, you can get a fully refund within the 14 day period.
Also, if you choose to stay Ryan can help you figure out exactly what may be limiting your results, or potential other exercises you can do, or treatments/appliances you can try.
What Happens Next?
After you enrol in the program - you will be sent to a page with a personal video message from Ryan and the course creators.
Then we will send you a survey to determine your baseline, or starting point. This is so we can help you get the best results possible out of the program.
You will be able to login to the app and watch introductory videos - the exercise program will start the day after you register. Look forward to having you in the program.
