The 5 Tibetans come from the monasteries in the Himalayas. Kept secret until in the 1930s, they were revealed to the Western world by Peter Kelder


They increase the vital energy and regulate the level on all chakras (energy centres of the body). They also help to keep the body strong and flexible. They say this series of exercises practices longevity. This is indeed a yoga ritual to follow without further delay to maintain youth and vitality! Every day, take a few minutes to repeat these 5 Tibetans. To find a good energy, the yoga exercises can be done in the morning or evening (or both). Also, it is best to do these rituals three times each the first week, then five times during the second and so on during the following weeks, up to twenty times a day, with the exception of the first rite which will be performed an unspecified number of times until you feel dizzy. We recommend you exercise barefoot on a yoga mat.


To achieve this energetic exercise, stay watchful: in the morning the muscles are cold, so perform each movement without forcing. If you feel any pain, stop. Pause between each exercise for a better awareness. Finally, limit the amplitudes of each movement and go gradually, without haste.


 1. First Tibetan

tibetan secret exercises

Objective: revive energy and strengthen your personal magnetic field.



Performing the exercise
: standing, fold your arms on your chest. Palms turned toward the ground. Then turn on yourself, in an anti-clockwise direction. To facilitate the spin, rotate on the right foot that remains on the ground and push off with the left foot. At the end of the turns, return both feet shoulder-width apart, flat on the floor. Join hands, as if in prayer, close your eyes to see your magnetic field in full swing. Wait a few moments for your head to stop spinning.



Breathing: breathe naturally.


Safety instructions: stop turning in the event of giddiness.


Repetitions: start by making a few turns, 6 to start. When your body is accustomed, increase up to 12 turns.
