Most of exercises in the above video are described in detail in "Healing with, Form, Energy and Light," by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche

Wow....I have never seen anything like this before, but I have had several of the movements happen to me spontaneously while doing my yoga practices. Thanks for sharing AlwaysOn!
Love.

| At 3:19, notice how he stimulates his legs. I think this is THE most important thing in yoga. |

Before anyone tries these exercises on their own, get the book I cited, because it has instructions about breath retention and how to focus the energy at specific chakras while doing these exercises. It also describes inner chakra piercing visualizations.
The one where he shakes his shoulders is called "the sheep" (it's not in the book) and you can get it just by looking at the vid, exhale while shaking your shoulders (you can also do it on all fours). Bouncing on your tailbone (also not in the book) is just done with or without breath retention to pierce the muladhara. In addition to these there's also "the tiger" where you scratch the floor and growl like a tiger on your knees. Then there's "the fish" which is like the shoulder stand in AYP's asanas, except you kick up your legs hard so that you bounce on your shoulders and upper spine(very risky). One can also grind the teeth in lotus pose to excite energy from the root.
The book has the best description of the "Six Lamps" that I've found anywhere.

You know this is taught by Yogani in the AYP book it's the first asana in the list. It's not the most important thing. It's all important. The most important is kumbhaka.

its funny how the video is labeled "tibetan" yoga on youtube.
The tibetans would be the first ones to say it is Indian yoga. Even the tibetan artwork interspliced with the live action is from a well known set of murals depicting INDIANS doing yoga. Thats why they are brown skinned and have long hair. |

| Thats how Tibetans stereotypically draw Indian yogis. They are definitely Indian, I read it in a book. |
