Thai people have practiced a set of physical breathing exercises, now known collectively as Ruesri Dat Ton.

Ruesri

A master of Thai Yoga,

called a Ruesri or rishi was traditionally the same as an ascetic, hermit, seer, etc., who practiced meditation and developed all of the powers on the path to spiritual realization such as herbology, astrology, numerology, geomancy, and mathematics. Ruesi was originally the term for a shaman or medicine man who lives apart from society and spends his time meditating or creating medicines. The culture of the Ruesi dates back to a time before Buddhism. Another translation for the word Ruesri would be “Seer.” Toward this goal, Nak Prot means a Ruesi who keeps his vows of renunciation and “Sila” with great perseverance, never allowing himself to slip in his promise to keep the vows of purity. So a Ruesri would ideally never not be in a mindful state whether the activity is doing work, washing their selves, cleaning the floor, etc.
