The Five Tibetan Rites are a sequence of five exercises performed each morning — a complete practice in under 15 minutes. Brought to the West in the 1930s by a retired British army colonel who discovered them in a remote Tibetan monastery, they have since been practised by millions worldwide.

— THE FIVE RITES —

① The Whirling — Spin clockwise with arms extended to activate your energy centres and improve balance.

② The Rising — Lying flat, raise your legs and head simultaneously to strengthen the core and stimulate circulation.

③ The Kneeling Backbend — From a kneeling position, arch back to open the chest, throat and spine.

④ The Tabletop — Seated, press up into a bridge, engaging the entire posterior chain.

⑤ The Balance — Flow between downward dog and upward dog to energise the whole body from hands to feet.

— GUIDED MODE (NEW IN 2.0) — Let the app lead you through every rep. Choose your pace — Slow, Medium, or Fast — and the app counts each repetition automatically, cuing you when to inhale and exhale in sync with the movement. A pulsing breath ring around the animated figure keeps the rhythm visual. Switch to Manual any time for the classic tap-to-count experience.

— SMART PROGRESSION — The traditional approach starts with 3 repetitions per rite and increases by 2 each week until you reach 21 — the number the monks practised daily. The app guides this for you automatically, week by week. Override at any time if you want to move faster or slower.

— ANIMATED GUIDANCE — Each rite is shown as a smooth animated figure so you always know what the movement looks like — no videos, no ads, no distractions.

— STREAK & PROGRESS — Track your daily practice with a streak calendar, session history, and progression chart. See at a glance how your rep count has climbed toward 21.

— DAILY REMINDER — Set a once-daily reminder at whatever time suits your routine. The app asks after your first session — no nag screens before you've even started.

— NOTHING IN THE WAY — No subscription. No account. No ads. All data stays on your device. Open the app, do your rites, close it.
