Dr’s Mehmet Oz and Deepak Chopra Endorse Classic Yoga Book, The Five Tibetans

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SEPTEMBER 1ST, 2011

LEVERETT, MA, September 1st, 2011—The new classic edition of the best-selling yoga book, The Five Tibetans has just been released.

In the latest edition of the classic yoga best-seller The Five Tibetans, Dr Mehmet Oz and Dr Deepak Chopra offer praise and recognition for this internationally-beloved guide. Author Christopher Kilham offers an updated introduction to the work, based on 35 years of daily practice of these methods.

Dr Oz says “Inspired and clear, The Five Tibetans makes a worthy contribution to body-mind wellness and longevity.”

Dr Chopra calls The Five Tibetans “A time-honored classic that belongs in every yoga library.”

Originating in the Himalayas, the five yogic exercises known as the Five Tibetans take approximately ten minutes daily to perform, yet dramatically increase physical strength, tone, energy, and suppleness as well as mental acuity. They are ideal for busy people who have little time and want real results. Regular practice of these methods relieves muscle tension and nervous stress, improves digestion, strengthens the cardiovascular system, tunes and energizes the chakras, and leads to deep relaxation and well-being. Since 1978, Christopher Kilham has taught these exercises to thousands of people seeking a healthier lifestyle.

The Five Tibetans, first published by Healing Arts Press in 1994, has been translated into twenty languages, and is published in twenty-two countries. The popularity of the book owes greatly to its simplicity, clarity and to the power of the exercises it describes.

The Five Tibetans has established itself as a classic among yoga practitioners and teachers alike. In this new edition the author shares his own positive experiences from more than 30 years’ devotion to the practice, even during his extensive worldwide travels, and explores the spiritual benefits of the Five Tibetans as well as the profound impact the practice has on health, longevity, and healthy aging.

“In all my travels, The Five Tibetans have been my companions. I have practiced these methods in Vanuatu South Pacific, in Siberia, in Morocco, in the Peruvian, Brazilian and Ecuadorian Amazon, high up in the Indian Himalaya, in the Syrian desert, along Xinjiang’s Naladi grasslands, on the Mexican coast, and in countless cities from Kathmandu to Shanghai to Marrakech to Moscow to London to Accra. I have practiced them in hotels, on beaches, on stone patios, in native shacks, on boat docks, in forests, on mountains, in airports.” – Chris Kilham, Author, The Five Tibetans

“I've been practicing the Five Tibetans ever since Chris taught them to me over 20 years ago. It is knowing their power that encouraged me to ask Chris to share his knowledge through what has become one of our best selling books, translated into dozens of languages.” - Ehud Sperling, Publisher, Inner Traditions International
