The Five Tibetans are a yogic system of simple yet highly energizing exercises that originated in the Himalayas. Also known as the Five Rites of Rejuvenation, they were brought to the West early in this century by a retired British army officer who learned them in a Tibetan lamasery. Since 1978 Christopher S. Kilham has taught these exercise to thousands of people seeking a healthier lifestyle.

The Five Tibetans take a minimum of daily time and effort by can dramatically increase physical strength and supplensess as well as mental acuity. Even newcomers to yoga will experience the Five Tibetans' liberating effect on the innate energetic power of the human body and mind. Regular practice of these exercises relieves muscular tension and nervous stress, improves respiration and digestion, benefits the cardiovascular system, and leads to deep relaxation and well-being. The Five Tibetans can be a powerful vehicle not only for enlivening the senses but also for generating and harnessing vital energy for self-transformation.

Christopher S. Kilhan has taught yoga, meditation, and natural health for more than twenty years, lecturing and appearing on radio and television progams thoughout the United states. He is the author of many magazines articles and books, including In Search of the New Age, Take Charge of Your Health, Inner Power, and The Bread and Circus Whole Food Bible.
