5 Tibetan Rites For Rejuvenation: Doing These 21 Times In A Day Promotes Health & Wellness

In a stressful life, we all need to rejuvenate our mind and body after some time to not let it affect our health. The first thing that comes to our mind when we hear the word ‘rejuvenation’ is yoga and meditation. These two bring balance to your brain and body.

5 Tibetan Rites is an ancient Yoga practice with 5 sets of exercises created by Tibetan lamas. One has to practice each exercise 21 times in a day to reap its physical and mental benefits. This Yoga works on the 7 energy points of the body to restore your vitality and strength. This is why this sequence is called ‘Fountain of Youth’.

Let’s begin with the five rites.

Rite 1 – The Spin (For muscle building and emotion control)
