The easy-going and cheerful attitude of the Thais is known beyond the kingdom. This is also reflected in the studios and yoga classes that you can visit on your trip through Thailand. Yoga is not practiced in Thailand, but "played", at least that's the Thai expression "len yoka".

In pretty much every destination you like to visit as a tourist, you will find one or more yoga shalas and retreats. While many studios in Bangkok focus on the physical aspects of yoga and the teaching of asanas, in the north of Thailand and on the islands you can have a truly transformative experience.

I've rolled out my mat in many of Thailand's yoga studios, and here I recommend my absolute favourites.
