The exercises consist of Yoga-like stretches, self-massage, chanting, meditation, breathing exercises, and a variety of positions, poses, and movement sequences which are done standing, sitting, or lying down.

In Thailand, and increasingly also in other countries, Reusi Datton gradually reemerges in the spotlight becoming more popular and sought-after. It’s a set of bodywork activities not only beneficial for the practitioner’s health and overall well-being, but also a very graceful art form combining the flow, dynamics and techniques of Traditional Thai Dance, Thai Massage, Indian and Tibetan Yoga.
