They are practiced around the world and are said to prevent aging. In 1939, Peter Kelder published "The Original Five Tibetan Rites of Rejuvenation," which helped spread the rites in the western world. Show Less

“Discovering the Five Tibetans and contemplating the corresponding mantras helped me to acknowl- edge and release negative patterns of thought and behavior. This book is an enjoyable and practical guide to some very lofty ideals, and provides a guided path to personal growth and transformation.”
Catherine Dowd, 200 RYT - Writer, Yoga Instructor and Perpetual Student
“I was fortunate to find out about this program a few weeks after it began. This meant I had to be okay with being behind on the info and behind on the practice! I’ve done a lot of yoga in the past, yet this approach found me at a time in my life when I was ready for its simplicity and gentleness. I have been amazed that inside of these simple 5 postures I have discovered some new possibilities for myself. The postures alone don’t get the credit, however. It’s the simple focus on things such as 'vulnerability' and 'surrender'. For anyone who wishes to have a deep, yet simple experience of themselves, a cleansing one, without extra hoopla, I’d recommend getting this book right away. Perhaps the power of this is the author’s own vulnerability and surrender. I’m grateful to have been guided to it.”
Robin Holland, CEO Robin Holland International
“The Five Tibetans Yoga Workshop provided a daily practice of discipline and meditation. The self- focus time allowed me to sit with my own contemplations and ponderings about subjects that were part of the content of the workshop. The exercise of the actual Five Tibetans provided physical discipline, and the mantras of each pose helped me expand my awareness of the impact on my body, mind, and spirit. I found the work to be profoundly intimate, calming, soothing, and deeply satisfying. Anyone who has an opportunity to read this book and/or participate in the workshop would be treating them- selves to a hugely beneficial experience.”
Margo E. Bebinger, CPCC Leadership and Life Coach

The wisdom offered in The Five Tibetans Yoga Workshop is a treasure for all who long to explore the nature of our humanity and our spirituality.”
Rick Tamlyn, author of Play Your Bigger Game
“Susan Westbrook, in her well-written book on The Five Tibetans Yoga Workshop, recognizes the profound benefit of pairing these exercises with meditation, wherein lies the potential for deep change and growth. Sharing personal experiences of her path, she guides you on the way.”
Mary Horsley, author of Chakra Workout: Balancing the Chakras with Yoga
"For the uninitiated, The Five Tibetans are the legendary yoga-like poses reportedly part of the daily practice of monastic monks in Tibet who performed the five exercises to balance the energy of the chakras and to enhance vigour and vitality. Westbrook spends a little time explaining the history of the Five Tibetans and the lore surrounding them as the ‘Rites of Rejuvenation’ or the fountain of youth. But the core of this book encourages a daily practice of the Five Tibetans yoga and contemplation of the accompanying mantras and chakras. It is a unique approach to personal transformation, which Westbrook breaks into three parts. The first involves learning the exercises and becoming acquainted with what Westbrook calls ‘the stars of the show’ the grasping and healing behaviours. In the second part she ventures deeper into ‘grasping behaviours’ and identifies them as confusion, resentment, doubt, fear and miserliness and reflects on how they influence our lives and relationships. The final section offers the antidotes to ‘grasping’ as vulnerability, surrender, authenticity, awareness and connection and how a commitment to these healing behaviours impacts our lives."

"The Five Tibetans are the legendary yoga-like poses reportedly part of the daily practice of monastic monks in Tibet who performed the exercises to balance the energy of the chakras and to enhance vigour and vitality. In this excellent book, Westbrook explains the history of the Five Tibetans and the lore surrounding them, and encourages a daily practice and contemplation of the accompanying mantras and chakras. Along with the exercises, Westbrook identifies the 'grasping behaviours' and how they influence our lives and relationships, and provides the antidotes to this 'grasping' for a path of personal transformation."
