The Five Tibetan Rites

The Five Tibetan Rites Yoga Sequence

Believed to be over 2,500 years old, Tibetan Rites yoga is a great way to start the day.

Often times we find ourselves rushing in the morning. Hitting the snooze button 3 or 4 times and then trying to make up time by rushing to get dressed, brush our teeth, and jump in the car and GO!

Not exactly lucid practice….

Waking up twenty minutes earlier and incorporating a practice into your morning can lead to much calmer beginnings.

This is an outstanding way to get the blood flowing and incorporate presence in the beginning of your day.
