The Five Tibetans

An Ashtanga yoga practise typically takes about 90 minutes to get through the primary series. Since Ellie arrived into this world, a 90 minute chunk of time to myself is an impossibility. As such, it may be a long while yet before I can return to a full yoga practise. The absence of this practise that once grounded me has left my mind scurrying, my breath shallow and my joints stiff. While it's unrealistic for me to do 90 minutes of yoga every day, it's still possible for me to get on my yoga mat every day. That is my goal. This week, I have started doing the Five Tibetan Rites as part of my yoga practise. They don't take that long and so I figure at minimum, I can fit these in. If I do more, great. If not, I'm not going to fret. I'm curious to discover the benefits that I might experience from a daily practise of these five exercises.
