What People say
"The regular live sessions make the movement and meditation easy to schedule in. It's as if they have opened up a space for me! If I'm left to my own devices I forget or think I'm too busy. I am already feeling the benefits."
"They are really beneficial. I haven’t made it every morning, due to my work rota, but have practised with the recordings that have been sent."
"What a wonderful teacher. I adored this course and will surely return to it and seek out more from this lovely mentor'. Wendy New York
The Five Tibetan Rites The Fountain of Youth
The Five Tibetan Rites also known as The Fountain of Youth are five movements developed by Tibetan Monks in a remote monastery in Tibet, and discovered by Sir Wilfrid Malleson, a British army officer in the 1930s. Sir Wilfrid was surprised at how well and young looking the monks were, and they told him it was because they practised these five rites every day.
The five Tibetan Rites are not exercises, they are ceremonies or rituals which signify a new phase of life. They take only about 15 minutes to complete so easily fit into a daily routine. They can also be adapted to suit your body's ability. Once you join a separate video will be sent to help you with adaptations.
As the body ages the bone structure and posture can change dramatically. The back tends to curve forward leading to an an increasingly stooped posture.
Performing the Rites directly works against this tendency, keeping the body posture open, flexible and upright.
With aging we tend to begin to lose our balance. The rites include a movement which greatly improves the ability to keep our balance as we age.
The Fountain of Youth (The five rites) activates what are known as the Chakras, seven energy points in the body. The Five Rites speed up the spinning of the chakras, coordinate their spin so they are in harmony, distribute energy to the endocrine system, and in turn to all organs and processes in the body. This is one of the major requirements for vibrant health, rejuvenation and youthfulness.

The Five Tibetans - Fountain Of Youth - Illustrated by Gaynor and Suryacitta
All movements can be modified to suit the ability and flexibility of your body.
1, Spinning Clockwise following the rotation of the universe. This helps with balance. As we age our balance tends to become more and more unsteady. Spinning involves rotation of the body, which can help stimulate the base of the spine and activate the root chakra. This is helpful for grounding and connecting with the physical body.
The root chakra is associated with survival and stability.
2, The Root Pushes Through The Ground: Raising and lowering the head and legs.
Rite number two benefits our core and strengthens the tummy and lower back muscles. This rite is associated with the sacral chakra.
This chakra is known for enhancing creativity, emotional balance, and sexual energy.
3, A Stalk is both thin and strong yet it sways and remains standing in the wind.
As the body ages it tends to close in on itself. This rite stretches the front of the body, opening up the chest and abdomen. This movement is said to stimulate the solar plexus chakra, located in the upper abdomen.
This chakra is associated with personal power, confidence, and self-esteem.
4, A River Flows Following The Contours Of The Land. Tipping the head back moving the torso upwards. The fourth Rite brings strength to shoulders and writs and flexibility to the torso. It also stops the development of rounded shoulders. This rite opens up the chest and heart area, which corresponds to the heart chakra. By opening and activating this chakra, the rite may help in cultivating love, compassion, and connection with others.
5, The Waterfall Spills a Powerful Current Into The Waiting Pool.
The upward dog stretch pose. This rite stretches the spine, and opens up the throat area, which is associated with the throat chakra. This chakra is associated with improving communication, self-expression, and authenticity.
In our meditation practice we engage with the energy of the third eye. It is in the centre of the head parallel to the middle of your eyebrows.
This chakra is associated with intuition, insight, and inner wisdom.
Finally, the Crown chakra, at the top of the head, this chakra relates to spirituality, consciousness, and enlightenment!
What people say:
"I love being in a shared space. The routine greatly helps, it sets me up for the day. My day does flow afterwards."
"I am finding this very invigorating. I seem to have (even more) energy than usual. A spring in my step. Slightly toned and a few grams lighter. A very good way to start the day."
"I love the consistency of the sessions. I have found the spinning move the most challenging but that has improved as we have progressed through the days.
"I was finding the moves a little quick but after slowing them down, they were a lot more mindful, flowing and hard!."
"Various things have come up like resistance, different emotions, peace, and acceptance. I have enjoyed observing them and knowing they are familiar."
