"It takes vision, courage and the dedication of a true seeker to travel thousands of miles to take a course she could have taken in her hometown, so I knew Susan was special from the first time we spoke. What I didn't know was that my willing student was to become my wise teacher. I am so grateful to Susan for shining her unique light on the Five Tibetan teachings in a way that will inspire people worldwide to try these fabulous techniques and find their lives changed in positive, meaningful and significant ways. This work is important and Susan has made it accessible to everyone in this inspiring, authentic and compelling tapestry of personal stories, clear instruction and insightful wisdom that I am eager to use in all my Five Tibetan classes from now on." -- Elizabeth Harley, Five Tibetans Yoga Teacher, Master Teacher of the Diana Cooper School "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

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The Five Tibetans helps the reader to facilitate their inner work with the powerful combination of the body-strengthening daily practice of the legendary yoga-like poses known as the “5 Tibetans”, along with spirit-nourishing stories and metaphors born of seas, rainbows, and mountain vistas. As you move through the pages and activities of the book, you will discover for yourself the positive effects of performing the rites that have been touted as the “ancient secret of the fountain of youth.”

You will feel the sand beneath your feet, follow a mountain river on its course, and watch a rainbow dance on the horizon. Susan Westbrook gently encourages you to look inward at what she refers to as the “grasping behaviours” that are not serving you. The book will help you find the healing behaviours that can facilitate your healing and growth.

Regardless of age or circumstances, The 5 Tibetans is a book for you, for your body, for your spirit, and for your heart. The Five Tibetan Rites is a yoga routine based on a ritual of exercises discovered in the early 1900s by a British army colonel, Colonel Bradford, who was living in a Himalayan monastery. They are practised 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.
