Dru Yoga is so gentle and flowing with no forced movement; my body always feels so much better after practising.

Dru Yoga is suitable for all. It has lovely flowing movements that make you feel you are truly in tune with your body and mind. It leaves you feeling relaxed but vital, and fully aware of yourself.

The Spirituality of Yoga course has been particularly helpful to me in anchoring my morning wellbeing practice. I had already started doing a short morning walk in nature, but this now involves me walking barefoot on the grass for part of my walk, and being able to do some yoga outdoors in what has become my sacred space. This has lifted my mood and I find that I am in a more contented state than previously. Even if there are just little things that I might do some days, such as lighting the candle before I do my practice, selecting a vision card and pausing at odd moments through the day, these small actions are very beneficial and enable me to be not so hard on myself. I am steadily reviewing the videos but not rushing this process as it takes time for these practices to be understood and appreciated. Having the ability to watch the sessions repeatedly is tremendously helpful in embedding the learning. I am enjoying the process of this learning, knowing that I can approach this in a relaxed way and pick out a different session each week or so to review and practice. I have appreciated the structure of this course being over 3 weeks, where we were able to practice the learning from each session in-between. It has avoided feelings of being overwhelmed with the amount of content and therefore not really taking anything in because I don't know where to start. There is much more for me to do with the practice that we have been introduced to and this will take some time and it will require some courage and exploration outside my comfort zone, but that is ok. I know that I can seek help with this as and when I need to.

My experience of The Spirituality of Yoga Course was amazing. The tutors were so warm and friendly and made the content really accessible. The course was extremely well-planned and built up step by step. As it was quite intensive, I think if you were new to yoga and meditation you might have needed a longer time between sessions for absorbing and practising. However, as we were able to download the sessions (a wonderful gift), there is plenty of time for replaying and reinforcing the learning. I enjoyed every minute of the course and am very grateful that I had the opportunity to take part.

The Spirituality of Yoga course came at the perfect time, a precious gift from a beautiful soul and dear friend. I loved the connection, in 4 zoom sessions I fell in love with Jane and all the women in my group.
I loved how safe it felt to speak openly, honestly and from the heart about our experiences as we worked through these potent practises together. Not together but it felt very connected, supported and a togetherness. I didn't want it to end. I love that we can keep the downloaded practises and revisit them often. loads of light and love filled moments

Thanks to all the Dru team for such a wonderful 3 weeks on the Spirituality of Yoga course. I thank you with so much gratitude for the knowledge and wisdom shared by all teachers. To feel the richness of the love and support was quite profound. Finding your inner peace and stillness is your natural state and this course gave you the tools through yoga, meditation, mantra and nature to help with your spiritual quest. It was also so beautiful to be part of a community from all over the world with people of like mind who want to make a difference on our amazing earth. Namaste.

This course has made me feel calmer, more in my body and more at peace with myself. I’ve discovered more about how my body works in these two weeks than in my four years of dance training!

I enjoyed the whole experience of the Karma Yoga retreat. Great programme for volunteers. I felt appreciated for work done. Felt that everyone worked as a team. Teachers on yoga retreat were great teachers.
The venue is stunning. I felt refreshed and inspired to come again to Karma Yoga retreat in near future. I am considering going on Foundation course and possibly teacher training course

Maggie Sanderson
Dru Yoga & Meditation teacher, The Netherlands
The Spirituality of Yoga helped me to focus what is important to me in my life right now. My heart knows the path I wish to follow. With the practices I felt my distractions melt away and I felt myself expanding consciously. Exactly what I was looking for.
Michelle Marcuzzo
Administrative Assistant & Dru Yoga Teacher, Australia
My experience of the Spirituality of Yoga course was that it was truly amazing! Teachers of Dru and students alike, can really gain from the support and wisdom of this beautiful course. It reminds us gently and realistically, of all of that we can aspire to and how to achieve it within our daily 'sadhana' setting, so that we can be 'true to ourselves', whilst offering more to others. The extra support and guidance offered, before, during and after the course, if required, makes it even more remarkable. I found it to be a wonderful course to do, particularly during these most challenging times. I would recommend it to everyone.

“An opportunity to connect with the very essence of yoga and meditation in a subtle way. Much more than a retreat it has renewed my belief in myself. Thanks.”
