I actually do the rites quite fast, taking about 5 minutes to complete the entire 21 reps of each rite, but I've had two years to practice and perfect my form so you should go slower starting out. Once you get the hang of them you can go faster. As for the soreness in your lower back, I'm thinking you most likely didn't keep your back flat on the floor during rite #2, bent too far backwards on rite #3, thrust your hips too high on rite #4, or sunk too low (causing your lower back to bow too much) on rite #5. That really narrows it down, doesn't it? Just take it slow and watch your form and breath. As for results, once you perfect your form :rolleyes: , you should see a difference within two weeks. As you increase the reps of each rite, as well as the frequency, you'll really notice a change in your body. Just don't push it and hurt yourself. It will take time and patience, but you'll get there. |

I don't know if I want to do them any faster, to tell the truth. As it is, #4 actually still makes me a bit nauseous, and that's first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. But then again, I also like doing sun salutations slowly Alta, what does it take to get WWWendy to throw one of these threads in the "everything" pile? Can we just ask?

Re speed - it takes me about 5-7 minutes to do 15 reps of each, using my pushup bars for #4 & #5. Kundalini yoga pace. Does the video have both a slow demonstration section & a faster practice version? |

Once, you've done them for a bit you will realise the benefits as far as increased energy. I do.
