Subject: Twirl & Hip Soreness


I do the 5 Tibetans as part of my morning practice. Apparently as a child I never learned how to twirl. Initially I planted my right foot and pivoted on it but my partner pointed out she had never seen a twirl style quite like that. I have been trying to twirl by moving both feet sequentially in the right direction but find I must be putting torque on my right hip. I've developed a soreness on the right hip. I've tried different techniques like leading with my chest , adjusting speed etc but nothing works. I really don't want to abandon this but the soreness is affecting too many other things to ignore.

While it reduces the efficacy of the Tibetan Rites a bit it is not all that uncommon to oscilate like a fan blade back and forth instead of spinning. The Tibetans spin the chakras thus activating them. This should give you the most effect with no strain on your hips. I do them this way because I still get nausea from the full spinning.

purnayoga- Thank you for your suggestion. I am happy to report that your suggestion is working and the soreness is gone. Your fan visual was easily understood, but my spouse thought I looked more like a 400 day clock.

Russellk, I have been doing the Rites daily now for four months. Because I am away from home my routine has been to do them at the halfway point of an early morning bike ride, on a grassy knoll overlooking a lake. Partly because I am on an uneven surface and partly because I am wearing my cleated bike shoes, I have slightly altered my 21 spins. Key to it for me is that it is not a twirl but a spin and I take more steps--at a slighter angle--than when I am barefoot and on a smooth surface. I paid particular attention to my spins this morning and I truly felt no sensation in my hips. If you choose to try spinning again, I hope this helps. Rick
