Who is up for Five Tibetan Rites?

Who is up for a quick 7 day challenge: the Five Tibetan Rites? A quick yoga-like, 5-pose challenge where we can increase repetitions every day until on the 5th day, at which point we will do each pose/ movement 7 times.

Here is a quick explainer and demonstrator video:

And if we are up for a 7- day challenge, I have some follow-along videos ready to go. We would start with only one rep on the first day, focussing on quality movement and understanding the benefits of each movement.

After 7 days we would end up with a 6 - 10 min practice, repeating each pose 7 times.

I have videos and suggestion how to adapt to beginners and chair based movements. So for those who are at the moment on the IC due to ankle or foot issues, some of these poses should still be doable.

And of course the champion S&Fers of us are free to continue to up to 21 repetitions, but I think 7 is just fine for me.

So how about it? Is anyone up for this?

Let me know!

And if yes, we’ll start in the week after next or so?

Oh it looks interesting. I've really been struggling to get any consistency with S&F which I know has had a knock on effect to running.

I'm actually on holiday at the moment so it could be an extra challenge to find a space to do them.

I'll definitely give it a go. 👍

that’s brilliant! Fab!

And the great thing about our challenges, they can but do not have to be completed in real time!

I like it but definitely interested in the adjustments on nearly all of them... The spin is the only one that looks doable.... When do we start

I’ll have to think of a nice day to start, maybe Sunday?

Here is a sneak peak of modifications, but the video is rather long and she misses out on demonstrating one in the chair. When we start the challenge, I will link to the right sections in this video, but here is a sneak peak info this video:
