Steven Barnes demonstrates an advanced routine that builds on the Five Tibetans with movements from 20 years of study. He designed it for people who've mastered the traditional 21 repetitions, using a progression where six reps equal the canonical 21, and he's still refining the transitions.
Hi, my name is Stephen Barnes, and I want to welcome you to a little work in progress. Those of you who've practiced the five Tibetans know that you work from three up to 21, and after that you maintain. Well, I began to ask myself the question, what might go beyond that? So, just in terms of play, this is certainly not canonical. I've created something that combines five Tibetans with other movements that I've studied over the years, because I've been doing it for 20 years. And I figure that I can feel inside my body what works and what does not. So this is only for people who have gone all the way to 21 and are feeling a little restless and want to try something a little bit different. I'm still working out some of the transitions. Work in progress. So, with that caveat, let's give this a shot. So we're going to start with one repetition. And then we're going to do two repetitions. And then I want you to imagine then you will do three, and then four, and then five, and then six. Six. By the time you've done six repetitions, that will be 21, and you'll be fully complete. It. And then two repetitions, It's. Then you do three, and then four, and then five, and then six, working for the greatest amount of smoothness between the movements that is possible. So this is what I'm experimenting on. Just thought I'd share it with you.
