Tibetan Rite #1

Spins - In a clockwise direction, spin without focusing. Allow yourself to get dizzy, and try to regain focus as soon as you've finished your required number of reps.

Tibetan Rite #2

Head to Leg Crunch - Lay flat on the ground, hands flat beside your hips. Point feet towards the sky, ankles together. While bringing the legs straight up, bending at the hips, press the small of your back towards the ground, and touch your chin to your chest.

Breathe in: Raising Legs

Breathe out: Flat on back

Tibetan Rite #3

Back Arches - On your knees about a foot apart, place your hands below your buttocks. Flex your feet so that your toes help with your balance. Touch your chin to your chest, and then bring your head back as you arch your back while using your arms for added support.

Tibetan Rite #4

Table - Sit on the ground with legs outstretched. Your ankles should be in line with your hip joints, and your hands should be flat on the ground beside you. Touch your chin to your chest, then bring your head back while you swing your pelvis out, positioning your knees above your ankles. You should be looking towards the wall behind you as you do this. Return to the sitting posture.

Tibetan Rite #5

Cobra - Get into a pushup position with your hands next to either side of your chest and in line with your shoulders. Keep your feet about a foot apart, in line with your hip joints. Push yourself up till your arms are in locked position, and then drop your waist while arching your back. Tilt your head back, and try to look towards the back wall as this will help your head positioning and posture. Next, reverse the movement by forming an inverted V with your body, butt in the air, legs and arms straight.

The Rights list from wikipedia

In the original "The Eye of Revelation" booklet, Kelder never mentions the practice of any type of breathing exercise while performing the first Five Rites. [2][4] However, subsequent publications pertaining to the Rites contain edits by others which recommend and detail specific instructions for breathing while performing the exercises.[5] Some practitioners also recommend taking caution prior to performing the Rites due to the possibility of aggravating certain health conditions.[9] Kelder cautions that when performing the First Rite, spinning must always be performed in a clockwise direction. He also states that Bradford clearly recalled that the Maulawiyah, otherwise known as "Whirling Dervishes", always spun from left to right, in a clockwise direction.[2][4][5] No mention is made of the positioning of the palms, although the original illustration of the Rite in the 1939 addition of "The Eye of Revelation" clearly depicts both palms as facing downwards towards the ground.[4] Therein arises a point of contention as it is known that Whirling Dervishes spin in a counterclockwise direction with the left palm facing downwards towards the earth and the right palm facing upwards towards heaven.[10] However, this discrepancy may find partial resolution in the fact that Tibetan Yoga regards clockwise rotation to be favorable whereas counter-clockwise rotation is considered to be unfavorable.[8] First Rite - Clockwise Whirling Inhale and exhale deeply as you spin. Second Rite - Head and Leg Raises Inhale deeply while lifting the head and legs, exhale while lowering the head and legs. Third Rite - Camel Inhale as the spine arches back, exhale as the spine returns to an erect position. Fourth Rite - Tabletop Inhale while rising up, hold the breath while in the top position and tense the muscles, then exhale while returning to the starting position. Fifth Rite - Up and Down Dog Inhale while raising the body, exhale while lowering the body. Sixth Rite - (Uddiyana Bandha Abdominal Breathing Exercise)
