Abi and I have been looking for yoga classes in Mae Sai ever since we arrived. With no luck on google or asking locals, we have been doing our own yoga on the rooftop. It has been a beautiful setting especially at sunrise and sunset, but when we heard about a Thai yoga studio opening up here in Mae Sai we were excited to try it out! A Burmese man who spoke really good Thai and English taught our first lesson. He found out our names before class and made sure to include us in the jokes he made throughout class. The class was beginner but is going to progress over the month, and most people sign up for a month and come every day. We decided to sign up for a month as well, which was 2000 thai baht, its rather pricey ($80) but after our days at school its great to do something relaxing like this and in the Shavasana (lying down) pose at the end of class we have drifted off to sleep more than once. The studio is well equipped with complimentary mats and bricks, filtered water and nice toilets. The poses are shown to us by a teacher and her assistant, then the assistant walks around the class and helps us move if we are doing anything wrong. Its also helping with our thai as we have learned the words for inhale and exhale, and feet together. I have decided to try yoga with my class in PE this week so I will make a post about how this goes after the lesson. Fingers crossed!
