The musculoskeletal systems of our bodies thrive on being on the floor. As a Manual Therapist, I am continually recommending clients that integrate a simple Yoga practice into their health routines, especially poses that require one or both arms to contact the floor.  I recently encountered the “5 Tibetan Rites”, a simple variant of ancient Yoga practice that is easy to incorporate into one’s daily routines, and embody this concept of arm contact with the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rites were first written about in 1939 by Peter Kelder in his book “The Eye of Revelation: The Ancient Tibetan Rites of Rejuvenation”<\/a>1<\/sup>. This is a great little book, which is historically significant for its role in introducing holistic concepts of health to the West. The five rites look easy but can be surprisingly challenging. I recommend that you do each position only up to just before<\/em> the point at which you experience strain or muscle shaking2<\/sup>. You will find that with repeated practice, your range will soon increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
