I love the 5 tibetan rites! Doing them for 13 years already. Body is half my age :).

I have been doing these Rites since 1990 every morning. Like you I have added what I call the 5 Tibetan Plus, natural moves for me that fit with the 5. My routine takes about 30minutes and I am stronger today then I was 30 years ago. I am in my late 60's :-)

I'm 76 and have incorporated this routine into my daily yoga practice. I do these every morning. I'm up to 19. I started out with 3 and increased 1 each week. I believe that proper breathing, strength, and flexibility are the keys to a healthy body (as well as what you put into your body). As far as the spinning, I am surprised that as you progress, you get less and less dizzy. It has to be good for balance.

5 Tibetans for me are totally precious gem. I do it every day ( 3 rounds 7reps each exercise) as a morning routine, about 4 years. In 4 years I got a very nice toned body with amazing mobility and flexibility. Great stuff. I recommend them for everyone

First of all thanks for the demostration. This is one of the good videos I've seen and the view is wonderful.
I have been doing these exercises since 2000 or so on and off. In the last three months I began to do at least 5 times a week.
The whole 21 set takes about 5-6 minutes and very easy to do once you began doing each day.
And it definetly gives energy and makes you feel real good.
One trick may be doing it like in the evening when you feel most low (if you are to stay awake till 12-1 especially)
Believe me doing these plus a nice 4-5km walk each day is all you need.

I am 77 and do the full 21. Great demonstration.

I believe it is really important to highlight the breathing more, it really makes a difference in this exercise.

The idea is not really to exercise, but to move the spine. It is the movement of the spine combined with the movement of the body that is displacing stagnant energy. Master Chunyi Lin does a fine job of explaining how the Chi moves through the body with some other simpler exercises.

👃 I'm here after reading Breathe by James Nestor, anyone else? 🙋‍♀️

[albertabamonte]

tried these about forty years ago and wasn't convinced—harder now, of course, but somehow they make sense; thank you for nice video and clear instructions!

[SimplySunrider]

My husband and I swear by these exercises!! I got rid of painful sciatica suffered 3 days...husband said...do my exercises...Bam...even just 1 set of doing half assed...when I got up from floor...TOTALLY GONE! Then year later had out of this world head ache (blessed at 72 to never get headaches) but this was a doozy! Again, husband said...do my exercises...did 1 set..again half assed...got up praying all the way back to couch...I sat on couch Just hour ago...husband that had been suffering for 4 days with shoulder pain and no chiros were available on Thursdays! So after using all the oils and zapper and different things to help...to no avail...guess what I said...go do your exercises! He did and hallelujah!!!! He walked back into kitchen standing straight up and no sharp pain...just a tiny something that was nothing compared to last 4 days! These guys do a great, quick easy job of explaining how simple it is. EVERYONE should do these exercises EVERYDAY! We sure are now...kind of forgot about them...but never again!!!

Best execution of the 5 rites I've found so far. Used to practice 'religiously' up until about seven years ago. Fell out of the habit and into the inverse of wellness. Only up to 12 reps but feeling the benefits already - inside and out. 😊

[yasicayasica]

Beautiful! Thanks! Been doing them since college:) In the second rite, the head and legs should be raised simultaneously at least that's the way I was taught and been doing them. Cheers:)

[marialochinietrocio]

absolutely agree. being fit and well is the ultimate goal of regular workout

[margaretek]

Loved this thank you a perfect introduction for a beginner! 🙏💜🪷

[kthecat]

Just learned this last night and glad to have found the appealing outdoor version from you guys.

[johnguthrie]

Thanks for this wonderful demonstration. My wife and I in New Zealand have been doing the Tibetan Rites for many years on and off as part of our daily practice. This is encouraging us to start again and we have sent the link to our grandsons in the UK.

[dannymeske]

Excellent! ....I learned these moves from his Holiness himself!

[Nicholas.Tsagkos]

What an amazing experience must have been to practice Tibetan rites in this terrain.
Excellent performed btw, one of the very few vids that are spot on.
