The first Tibetan - turning

This is a movement that will improve your coordination, release your negative energies and help regulate your emotions.

Stand upright with arms outstretched.

Turn around clockwise just as children turn around during play. You may have come across claims that turning exercises like this are good for children, so why not be good for you as well. Breathe deeply, from your stomach and look straight ahead.

Second Tibetan - lifting his legs off the floor

This exercise stimulates the work of the pancreas, regenerates the third chakra and strengthens the abdominal muscles.

Pay attention to proper breathing. Exercise should not leave you breathless. Inhale when you raise your head and legs, Exhale when you lower them.

The third Tibetan - leaning back

The third Tibetan exercise also aims to open the third chakra or solar plexus, and it has a good effect on the fourth and fifth chakras. In other words, with a simple pose, you will improve the work of your heart, chest, thyroid gland, immune system and put yourself in a much better mood.

Kneel on the floor. The legs should be gathered next to each other. The body should stand upright, so do not sit on your knees. The arms are next to the body, resting on your thighs. Bend slightly backwards and lower your arms down the back of your thighs, and bend your head and neck backwards.

Stay in that position as long as you are comfortable and return to the initial kneeling position. Inhale when you bend, exhale when you return to an upright position.

The fourth Tibetan - the bridge

This exercise strengthens the lower part of the spine, thighs and buttocks and is great for shaping and strengthening these parts of the body as well as riding a bicycle. Incorporate both of these exercises into your daily life and you will not miss the results.

Sit on the floor and place your hands next to your body, with your palms lowered to the ground. Lift your buttocks and legs off the floor, as well as your upper body, and tilt your head back. Your torso should be parallel to the floor, knees bent and body weight on your hands.

Stay like that for a few seconds, then return to a sitting position. Inhale when you rise from the ground, and exhale when you return.

Fifth Tibetan - reverse "V"

This is an exercise that affects the whole body, perhaps because it is the most demanding from the aspect of performance.

Get down on the floor and lie on your stomach. Now lift your upper body, leaning on your arms. The elbows should be straightened, and the lower part of the body should still rest on the floor. Bend your back and neck back.

Spread your arms and legs shoulder-width apart. Lift yourself off the floor now by making a position similar to the inverted letter "V". Lean on the floor with your feet, raise your buttocks high and hold on to your arms that are still straightened at the elbows. Return to the starting position, bend backwards as at the beginning. Inhale as you ascend and exhale as you ascend.

When you decide to make five Tibetans friends in your daily life, it is best to get to know each other gradually.

Start the exercises with three repetitions of each pose, and the goal is to reach 21 repetitions (this is a sacred number for Tibetans). You should not do more than 21 reps. Some reach that level very quickly, some need more time. It depends on your physical condition.

 You always increase by 2 repetitions, no more than once a week. So do say 3, 5. 7, 9 .

Do the exercises slowly. These are not speed exercises.

Only when you perfect their performance can you speed up the pace

It is up to you to adjust the pace and intensity of the exercises to yourself.

You can do the exercises at any time. If you want to do the same thing that Tibetan monks did, do them at sunrise and sunset, because it is also the source of our energy.
