Jaw Yoga combines scientifically based methods from orofacial myofunctional therapy, effective techniques from mind and consciousness training, and wisdom from traditional yoga and chakra teachings. This holistic approach naturally and sustainably relaxes the jaw, balances the throat chakra, and promotes long-term jaw health.

Developed through years of collaboration with dentists, Jaw Yoga has been validated for its positive impacts on health and well-being!

The vision behind Jaw Yoga is to guide people from a state of tension and the constant feeling of "gritting their teeth" to a state of enthusiasm and joy, feeling truly JAWSOME! Jaw-stress keeps people in protective mode, disrupting communication and connection with others. We believe that a relaxed jaw not only brings inner peace and contentment but also fosters authentic relationships and deeper connections.

At Jaw Yoga, we envision a world where people are free from tension, stress, and pain, yet feel jawsome with a balanced jaw and throat chakra. Inner smiles emerge as we courageously and authentically live our passions and lead self-determined lives. Imagine a world where everyone listens to their inner voice, fostering genuine, empathetic communication that transcends cultural and language barriers. We believe Jaw Yoga plays a pivotal role in realizing this transformation!

Our mission is to empower individuals worldwide to achieve jaw balance through holistic practices and self-awareness. By providing comprehensive Jaw Yoga programs, we aim to equip people with the tools to resolve jaw-related issues and cultivate sustainable well-being. We are dedicated to fostering a community where every individual feels jawsome – joyful, empowered, and aligned with their inner voice – contributing to a world of harmonious and authentic connections.

Because with a balanced jaw system, individuals return to a growth mode, living self-determined lives and engaging communicatively with others. Jaw-Yoga is the key to a deep connection with ourselves and our fellow human beings.

Jaw meditations facilitate profound relaxation of the jaw, bring awareness to your jaw-related issues, and effectively reduce jaw stress.

The mind-full-ness training for a healthy jaw.

Our specialized mind and awareness training addresses harmful habits, patterns, and conflicts underlying jaw issues. This approach simplifies the resolution of jaw stress causes at a mental-emotional level. Balancing the throat chakra also enhances self-determination, self-expression, and communication.

The story of Jaw Yoga began in 2013 with the development of a Mental Muscle Function Training aimed at supporting speech therapy in learning the correct tongue rest position.

Julia Reindl specialized in the therapy of jaw function disorders and spent 9 years in clinical therapy and research. She discovered the pivotal role of the tongue in the jaw system, leading to the development of "Jaw Yoga BODY" – a scientifically based exercise program for jaw relaxation, available since 2016 in the 'Kieferfreund App'.

Julia Reindl was additionally afflicted with dental and jaw misalignments, pain, and jaw mobility restrictions since childhood. Conventional medicine did not offer sustainable relief, prompting her to take personal responsibility in seeking alternative methods.

Reinhard Burits (+2022) was a passionate mind and consciousness trainer with extensive experience in body and personality work. His work revealed the proverbial 'clenching' in the jaw caused by stress and pressure, and its detrimental effects on individuals.

Together, they expanded the method to include "Jaw Yoga MIND" to address the causes of jaw-stress at the cellular level and "Jaw Yoga BRAIN" to enhance stress resiliance and neuroplasticity.

Felix Neubauer is a co-developer of the Kieferfreund App and an experienced mindfulness coach from England. In 2021, he developed his unique jaw meditation techniques, providing rapid relaxation for our clients worldwide.

6. Balancing the throat chakra supports a strong voice and clear speech expression.

7. Opening the throat chakra gives you access to your intuition and helps you stand up for and express your needs.

8. Jaw Yoga is a fountain of youth: relaxed facial features and an inner smile elevate your attractiveness to a new level!

9. Jaw Yoga brings enthusiasm into your life! Feel JAWSOME!

Introduction: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of relearning the physiological tongue resting position as part of Jaw Yoga training on pain reduction in the jaw area using the Kieferfreund App.

Materials and Methods: A total of 15 participants with temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) were clinically examined, followed by completion of a questionnaire by the subjects.

Results: The results indicate that participants experienced significant reductions in jaw pain both at rest and during chewing (mean difference [95% CI]). Symptoms such as jaw joint sounds (93%), bruxism (80%), and frequent head/earaches (67%) also showed improvement or remained unchanged.

These findings correlate with the range of motion measurements of the mandible conducted by the study leader.
