Ruseri Dat Ton is a traditional Thai practice that has been dubbed as Thai yoga, in part due to its similarities to Hatha yoga.

Ruseri Dat Ton literally translated means “Hermit’s self stretching exercise”. It was named this as hermits and ascetics have used it for many hundreds of years. It’s an ancient practice that consists of breathing exercises, self-massage, exercises, poses, mantras, visualisations and meditation. These practices are why it’s been dubbed as Thai yoga as these are all elements in Traditional Hatha yoga practices also. Its similarities with the two techniques are striking. There are over 200 different techniques in RDT that are similar to Indian Hatha yoga. It also shares similarities with Tibetan Yoga Traditions.

Ruseri Dat Ton (RDT) is also the foundation of Traditional Thai Massage often named Thai yoga massage, as it is a form of stretching massage performed by the therapist on the client.

As there are so many similarities between Hatha yoga and RDT it’s not sure which came first and which was the first modality. Suffice to say that each is available in two different countries with two varying objectives.

The words Ruesri Tat Don come from the Sanskrit Rsi, which means an Ascetic Yogi or hermit. Dat means to stretch or train and Ton refers to oneself, leading to the translation to Hermit’s self stretching exercise.

The Reusis (known aslo as Lersi) were practitioners of various ancient arts and sciences such as: ta**ra, yoga, natural medicine, alchemy, music, mathematics, astrology, palmistry, etc. There are correspondent people in many ancient cultures.

Traditionally the practice would begin with some breathing exercises and self massage. This is akin to the pranayama breath work in yoga and abhayanga massage in Ayurveda, the sister philosophy of Traditional Hatha Yoga.

This would be followed by dynamic exercises and poses similar to asanas in yoga, finishing off with visualisation, mantras and meditation again similar to yoga. The postures vary in complexity from simple to more advanced much the same as yoga.

Thai massage psoas stretch.

the is a deep muscle responsible of hip flexion.

Sitting long time will shorten this muscle. A tight psoas can affect the posture and can potentially create back pain.

Regular stretch of the psoas is very beneficial especially if you spend many hours sitting.
