Really appreciate how careful you are to provide modifications along with the reminders of how important proper form is to avoid injury.

[@trishmacmillan4646]

Love your modifications for beginners. Thanks for offering a safer version to get people started. You are wonderful.

[@alansalmi]

A friend of mine just completed a book researching the origin of these exercises. It will be coming out in November. Here is the name: The Secret of the Five Rites: In Search of a Lost Western Tradition of Inner Alchemy by John Michael Greer

[@gasqueres2143]

HI ! What is great with you and your brother is that you always propose for the beginners two or three-way to progress until we can do the original movement. Great ! and different from what exists on other sites. Result even at 78, I already made significant progress . Very good Job ! Merci, Arigato .Yves the Japanese .

[@rdhette944]

This is the best video on the rites. Thank you for the modifications! I needed that. Now I can do this! I also put a pillow under my knees.

[@churchofinfiniteknowledge1608]

Thank you for this knowledge! Very valuable.

[@sugardreams4622]

Love the 5 Tibetan Have done them on and off for 20 years! Thanks for the great video!

[@lakotasue]

I’ve been doing this for the last few months since I first downloaded. Thank you so much for I believe this has most definitely helped me.

[@katherincordero9787]

MUCHAS gracias

[@Ascendeus]

Never been so early before but amazing video as always TappBrothers! Been following your guy's KZbin journey for ~5-6 years now! From parkour to amazing stretches! :)

[@TappBrothers]

Appreciate the support over the years Ascendeus! 🙏 Stay strong!

[@zar187]

i first learned these rites way before youtube was in it's prime back in 2005. Now many people have helping me refine and create the routine which is most ergonomically benefical for beginners and intermediates, i agree very much with your example of how to perform the arch and table top, the shifting of the hand positions causes external rotation of the shoulders which is the ideal position for anything the involves strengthening and opening up the chest shoulders etc. very well explained and modified for beginners, please any beginner listen follow along, and watch at least a few times a week the first few months to remind yourself of good form.

[@finnmacky7106]

Thanks!

[@kingcounty6332]

This is good stuff i naturally come todo these type of excerises to deal with alot of issues i find while working out daily

[@youaregreat6589]

Thank you. I've already known the 5 Tibetan Rites but didn't do them for quite a while now: so thanks for bringing them to my mind again :-)

[@Guineverre82]

Same here!

[@colourinmyrainbow]

and here!

[@TomTom-df9ph]

I am the same ...I had to leave them after to major operations. I’m now 77 and I’m going to give it a good try again.

[@paul1969g]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge great video, I've used your other 5 daily exercises for a long time and find it a great start to the day as I'm 50 and getting a little stiffer I'm the joints in mornings, I like the way you explain the movements which makes it easier for beginners and less able people 👌👍👍

[@OO-xc7zg]

Thanks! 👍👍

[@richardfischel9565]

In the traditional practice, you do each movement in increments of 7 up to 21.

[@vittoriocessari3203]

Exactly 👍🏽

[@adopodrinje1499]

I am now at 12times each movement. started training 2 weeks ago. cant wait to feel that wonderfull bliss as I felt in 2013 when I started. check out my comment from above.

[@TomTom-df9ph]

Oh yes I know that. But will be a while before I get to the 21.

[@benjaminpujols1914]

I would like to see more videos like this I'm a little sore so I couldn't do it as good but I did the best I could it felt good on my sore abs

[@leehunter5632]

Cool exercise

[@NedBoukharine]

In exercise two, the inhale is on the backward extension. Same remark for the last one.

[@adityadev2825]

Awesomeee 🔥

[@jkmenegay]

Those were pretty good exercises. At 61, had to be a little careful with my shoulders (so, go slowly) but got through them all. Felt really good at the finish. Going to 10 each tomorrow!!

[@user-a9600]

Have you kept up these exercises? Any updates to share? Thanks

[@christinegivens141]

I bought the book from the 90s and it instructed people to start at 3 reps of each rite and then each week add 2 more until you reach 21 after 10 weeks of daily practice. It's an energy accumulation and accommodation process that gives the body time to adjust, not a race to get to 21 reps.

[@princelacatango5959]

Awesome Video! Btw, can you make a resistance band workout routine? I'll highly appreciate it

[@MyNigellus]

1:35 The Spin (video starts)

[@kalpeter1064]

All great exercises which are part of yoga.

[@annanewcastle9392]

Just came across your video and loved all the modifications. I have been doing the 5 Tibetans for 3 months now and still struggle a bit with #4. I have arthritis in the base of my thumbs so it hurts a great deal to press that hard....I have been making a fist and pushing off my fist to raise my body. Is that ok to do as a modification. Thanks for your guidance.

[@veronicaguzmanrivasgarcia648]

I like and enjoy your routines, they are powerful, the table top was difficult for me but you are helping me to do ir better😅👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽💪🏼

[@TappBrothers]

Glad you are enjoying the routines! Keep with it, you got this 🔥🙌

[@colourinmyrainbow]

Thank you for the modifications! In my sixties now and started to find number 5 to be challenging. This morning I did it with your 'child pose' modification. Thank you!

[@zinnzackluyen1261]

Tell me back flip skill and other flying roling move please 🙏

[@abayanleo1011]

Hey there tapp the awesome brothers 😘😉. Love your videos 😍. Very much appreciate it. I just wanna let you know that all of the exercises and more that you do are done in the Indian martial art called kalaripayattu. Pls do check it if you have the time. I suggest you this cuz you guys look like you wanna learn new things. I train in this traditional martial art and it helps your body to improve physically and spiritually. Pls do check it🙏. And as always,keep up the good work👍. Lots of love from India ❤️

[@yogeshrana7852]

Nice bro

[@jellyfishinaz]

👍 lol yay "pasty gingerness" 😂

[@mpagrawal4781]

May I do other weight lifting exercises along with the 5 Tibetan rites, please advice

[@saintrexus2531]

Yes you can I do the same. 5 Tibetan rights in the morning, Weight Training in the evening. Has improved my recovery and strength. I am also calmer and have greater clarity of thought.

[@betinabinah1825]

I've been doing the Tibetan rites inconsistently for a couple of years. I'm always open to seeing other people's interpretation. But I notice before I watch the whole video that you have not given a heart or reply to any of the people who commented. I'm starting to get into the habit of not subscribing to people who don't honor comments. On a side-note I feel like at the beginning of the instruction was excellent

[@TappBrothers]

Hope you enjoy the video and if you gives these Tibetan Rites a try, comment down below your favorite Rite! Mine is personally the table top. 🤘 This routine has a deep history and there is some debate on the actual origin of these moves but either way this is a great routine that can be enjoyed by beginners and advanced practitioners alike. It’s a simple routine that can increase your energy, flexibility, strength, while alleviating stress. The Tibetan Rites have had a big impact on my life. You will see two Rites that influenced our Primal Movement training… the table top and two dogs. Also if you would like to know more about the history or info on the Tibetan Rites there are two resources for you: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Tibetan_Rites (general info on Wikipedia) www.mindbodygreen.com/0-17551/fountain-of-youth-5-tibetan-exercises-you-should-be-doing-every-day.html (article from Cardiologist, Joel Kahn M.D. on the benefits of the Tibetan Rites) Also shout out to the primal body team and the recent flexibility challenge! You guys rocked it and it was a blast getting flexibility gains with you all!

[@stevenpaulescu3645]

Awesome vid, but I wonder if you guys would be interested in reacting to some of your parkour (achievements/fails)

[@seemakhanna2534]

This is clearly yoga, and no matter how much you guys debate, it originated in India.

[@asbhhid]

I’ve done these every morning for three years, I’m soon 74. I love them ❤

[@LorenzoKiki]

wtf, what a "discovery"... after 2000 years.... 😁

[@forrestfey]

Unforseen dificulty with the tabletop: sitting in the start position, the palm of my hands do not touch the floor. Had to scoot forward a little.

[@Cniaaa-ep5cy]

I did this and after My hands where shaking 😭 but that good right?

[@skmass2808]

നന്ദി

[@ryanmagiera4402]

DON'T CALL THEM WEIRD. THATS OFENSIVE AND NOT MINDFUL OF YOUR WESTERN PERSPECTIVE. don't spread ignorance.

[@z.static887]

Question: How should you breath during parkour?

[@andrewvasey1070]

However you want. Don’t overthink this. Breathing should come naturally, I hope

[@harjutapa]

exhale on impacts, that much I can tell you from wrestling and football. You don't want to hold your breath or inhale when landing/absorbing impact.

[@one4320]

Thru the nose.

[@joyvdw]

@@harjutapa actually the breathing should be reversed here, it has its purpose. Maybe read the original book from peter kelder…

[@joyvdw]

Rite 2: inhale when raising the legs. Rite 3: inhale when you go backwards. Rite 4: inhale when rising Rite 5: inhale in downward dog. , it has its purpose. Maybe read the original book from peter kelder…

[@hylo1563]

Pls stop Bombarding me with your ads, I saw 1 Ad and after all i get is "i saw you checked out my video..." NO, no i didnt you gave me an ad, Great punchline btw lol

[@jessicalt4121]

Can you please do a routine for 60ish year old sedentary people.

[@one4320]

This is it.

[@colourinmyrainbow]

I'm 67 and re-starting this after a long break... maybe try 3 for starters and slowly build up. The modifications presented here are great esp. for the two dogs.

[@ewawalker]

Why don’t you offer paypal payments?

[@christopherellis2663]

Before Tibet was even thought of...

[@lindsayball7299]

If you do these barefoot you will get more ankle and foot mobility.

[@henrikjensen8726]

Sorry mate.you got the breathing wrong in #3.inhaling when you arch back really opens up the chest.I have had the book by nr. kilham for a long time and practicing every day for about 6 years have helped me a lot.

[@sutters7251]

I agree, also on the arch the breath is held for a second or two at the maximum extension. Also the toes should be flexed so that the toes dig in to the ground on the arch back not the instep of the foot. Small detail but important

[@michelzwart4988]

What are the benefits of the spin? I don’t see the point in it

[@stanleyezepk]

Could it be the point is behind you and you have to *spin* around to see it? 😄

[@munishdevmohan7655]

It aligns the seven chakras and restores their vibrations....its yogic practice....sadly the breathing shown here is just the opposite.... suggest you watch more videos on five Tibetan rites..

[@sutters7251]

For westerners the benefit is not esoteric like chakras 😂 the benefit is as we get older we stop moving in many directions we move in ever decreasing patterns. As children we spin roll tumble. The spin activates our balance proprioception senses. Studies have shown that incorporating these type of playful movements back into our lives as adults prevents ankle sprains in sports and also prevents falling in old age. Where loss of balance is often the cause of falling rather than any physical impairment.

[@forrestfey]

That was my thought to, but I guess it could be an anti dizzy exercise.

[@Ariellebell]

Hmm, I was thought not to raise your shoulders off the ground for the second rite....?

[@dannykizy472]

I just started yoga so I’m trying my best it’s hard.

[@alisasydenham8239]

Not weird... psshhaahh

[@DTTaTa]

These are no tibetan practices. Doesnt mean that they arent helpful but they simply are not

[@seemakhanna2534]

Well it's not Tibetan it's clearly yoga.

[@finnmacky7106]

Just to let you know that even though I "liked" your video, it didn't change the metric. Nothing changed. It's not just you but it seems to happen to a lot of people I follow.

[@one4320]

Maybe you need to refresh the page.

[@IorgaArtStudio]

please stop those annoying adds already!

[@judyrossross740]

Waaaaaay too much talking with little information!!!

[@clairelouisenixon6712]

Pregant women isn't for them
