What this is
This beginner-friendly workshop introduces participants to the fundamentals of Thai yoga, a practice rooted in ancient Thai healing traditions that blends assisted stretching, acupressure, and mindful movement. Unlike conventional yoga styles, Thai yoga — sometimes called Thai massage yoga or Reusi Dat Ton — is performed fully clothed and often involves partner-based or self-directed stretching sequences. The workshop is designed for those with no prior experience, making it an accessible entry point into a lesser-known but deeply restorative wellness tradition. Held in Tokyo in June 2026, it offers a rare opportunity to explore this Southeast Asian bodywork practice in a structured, guided setting.
Who should go
This workshop is ideal for wellness enthusiasts, yoga beginners, and anyone curious about alternative movement or healing practices from Southeast Asia. It suits those who find conventional yoga intimidating or who are looking for something gentler and more therapeutic than a typical fitness class. Expats and tourists interested in mind-body wellness will find it a low-commitment, affordable way to try something new. Arrive a few minutes early to settle in, wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows free movement.
Good to know
At ¥1,100 this is an exceptionally affordable wellness workshop — payment method will depend on the organiser, so bring cash as a backup since smaller wellness studios in Tokyo often do not accept foreign credit cards. Wear loose, comfortable clothing such as joggers or leggings, as Thai yoga involves stretching and floor-based movement. The workshop is beginner-friendly so no mat or equipment is likely required, but confirm with the organiser in advance. Arrive 5–10 minutes early to complete any registration and get settled before the session begins.
