THAI YOGA BENDIGO – REUSI DAT TON
Reusi Dat Ton (Thai Yoga) is suitable for everyone and easy to follow. Whether you are sedentary workers or high-level athletes, you can instantly enjoy its health benefits and feel energised.
Reusi Dat Ton is a relatively unknown form of exercise outside of Thailand, especially in Australasia. Reusi Dat Ton can be translated literally to Hermit-Sage/ Ascetic Self Stretching. In the Western world it is also known as Thai Yoga.
Reusi Dat Ton (Thai Yoga) is the key and foundation to Traditional Thai Medicine and forms the roots of Traditional Thai massage. Similar to Chinese medical and health qigong, Thai Yoga was developed specifically with one’s health as its primary focus. It allows us as the practitioner 1) to take control and be responsible for our body 2) to be able to relieve various physical discomforts and improve ailments and 3) to maintain our physical wellness such as alignment of the skeletal system, regulation of diaphragm function and lung capacity as well as weight management.
Like qigong and yoga traditions from other cultures, Thai Yoga has many different styles and lineages. The18 Thai Yoga poses we use at WELBY Holistic Healing are the exercise sequence with the approval of Wat Po Thai Traditional Medical and Massage School and the Ministry of Education of Thailand.
At WELBY Holistic Healing we conduct our Thai Yoga classes with a self-massage sequence followed by joint mobilisation exercises. This aims to improve our overall circulation, reduce muscular tension and lubricate our joints before moving into more dynamic exercises. At the end of each session there will be a sense of whole body invigoration and clarity of thoughts.
These exercises along with guided breathing technique can be performed standing, sitting or lying down and modified according to your capacity. Therefore Thai Yoga sequence can be done as a light discipline or an intense discipline according to your individual needs.
