Fourth day of our 7-day, 5 Tibetan Rites Challenge! By now we know what we’re doing, right? Yes, I thought so! If not, the infographic picture will help.
I have started to do already 5 reps of each of the rites, yesterday. With a few amendments, I felt I could press on with increasing my repetitions.
Just for info, my amendments are:
Rite 1 I have started to do in two versions. The swinging arms one with body staying put (Knocking on heavens door) allows my upper back to relax after a good row. But when doing the rites first in the morning, the spinning one gives me a great balancing practice, I feel.
Rite 2: it sort of depends how I feel if i slightly amend. Today for instance I did do 5 normal ones, but then also tried out and felt my way through bent legs and single leg lifts. Last year I wasn’t able to do the straight legs at all!!!
Rite 3 I’m fine as is.
Rite 4 I have hands faced slightly outwards.
Rite 5 I do with hands on edge of our guest bed, so hands are a bit higher than feet.
I can tell I can do them much easier than last year at the same time. I also want to try and see if I can continue on this journey to up to 21 reps. It will be interesting if I manage that!
So here some new videos to follow along to. Officially it’s
4 repetitions today! But if you feel strong, why not add one or two?
★★★ WARM-UP ★★★
Just in case you need a warm up, here’s a new warmup, 3-4 min long. Not specifically for yoga, but good to have in your pocket for future warmups.

👀👀👀 CHAIR BASED VERSION:
Tene' Dismuke (9:30 min, 3 reps) 5 Tibetan Rites (Modified)
A gentle, low key video of someone who chats you through 3 reps of each rite. Add a fourth one and your done with today! She does have some alterations that require standing up, but still use the help of a chair.

👀👀👀 ABLED-BODIED VERSION: Northern Vertical (4 min, 4 reps) Day 4: 21-Day 5 Tibetan Rites Challenge
Northern Vertical’s 21-day challenge was what hit me the idea of doing a daily challenge last year. There are 21 follow-along videos, of which this is the fourth one. But if you want to get up to 21 reps and need a bit of company, keep this one saved and you’ll always have some company as you work your way up to 21 reps!
