I have benefitted enormously from it.
I did the course during the covid pandemic lockdown. A time of anxiety and fear. The knowledge that I gained helped me to recognise and acknowledge my feelings and gave me tools to deal with them.
The yoga postures , sequences and breathing techniques that are already familiar can be used to change our emotional energy.
In the same way that we have learnt to scan our physical body for aches and pains and stiffness or injury and use yoga postures and stretches to ease ourselves , I have learnt to scan my emotional and energetic body and recognise negative thoughts and patterns and how to correct them. By doing this regularly I feel more self-confident and happy .
I remember a very powerful moment when we were doing the Eagle posture and imagining that we were looking down at ourselves and what we perceived. I thought ‘ I am cool ‘ ! That thought has stayed with me.

I have been left with a personal practice that gives me a deeper sense of connection to the world around me, that helps me to feel more accepting of myself, that gives me more resilience for when things are hard, that is helping me to learn to trust myself - and that is helping me to go out into the world and put that love and knowledge into action, to make a difference.
Julia Law
Taking this course has helped me to find balance and harmony in my life. No longer buffeted by the opinions and behaviour of others, I have been able to find my true self and be guided by achieving my true self in my actions, feelings, words and thoughts. This has brought me resilience. I like myself (me) far more. This light is shining and I know it is affecting others in a positive way. Don't look externally for what you desire, the answer lies by looking within. This course will give you that.

You make friends with all the different types of people who will last a lifetime, and have experiences and memories which you will remember forever. It was honestly the best time I could have had with me being so open
Gina McGarry
Well prepared. Well thought out. The sharing of tasks between Imogen and Anne went well. Lovely people.
Joanne Bell
A lovely day, relaxing, informative, fun, happy. Thank you
Catherine Evans-Jones
It has helped me to explore all aspects of myself. The course has taught me to slow down, observe and witness as I move, breathe and live. It has brought awareness to my true nature, feelings, thoughts and intentions.
It taught me to be kind to myself. The prana work brought attention to health concerns in a startling way. It then led the way in my healing, knowing that all is truly well – thank you!
As a teacher, I have become more aware on many levels of a person’s struggles, difficulties and of course their wellness and awesomeness!
Sue
It has inspired me to be more disciplined with my practice and in addition, to think more deeply about its effect on me at all levels; I’ve learnt so much! The course has also enabled me to continue the process of unwinding, freeing up and reaching out to life!
I have gained more knowledge – I feel more confident. It’s given me a much wider vocabulary to take students into other koshas, to vary my teaching and experiment more.
Jo Bell
Dru Yoga is so gentle and flowing with no forced movement; my body always feels so much better after practising.
Mary, Tavistock, Devon
Thank you again. Being part of our Dru community means even more than ever before and I am deeply grateful.
Anne
Taking part in the course has added Kosha awareness and improved my language to explain and explore yoga. It has deepened my spiritual awareness and provided me with tools to develop my skills with healing.
Gina McGarry
Dru Yoga will inspire you in ways you had never imagined. What you learn will transfer easily to your daily life.

Michelle
After completing the first module, I have been given the most amazing insight of how unique Dru Yoga is. I feel excited, inspired and cannot wait to learn more, the way the course is put together and paced is very well thought out, the course materials and the staff are amazing and supportive.
Alison Hayward
Thank you so much to you and Bob and Imogen and of course Keith {Dru Yoga & Ayurveda Cookery workshop}. I am looking forward to trying some of his recipes from his book.
I thought it was a great course. A lovely combination, especially as Keith related the doshas to different personality and behavioural traits, and that these were linked with the relevant balancing yoga sequence in the afternoon.

The Dru Ayurveda and Yoga workshop. Great simple demonstration of how to use spices in ayurvedic cooking - delicious results and an inspiring, mouth-watering day.
Sue Grierson
I liked the warm-up - the twist, my era! It was a good venue; comfortable and nice choice of refreshments. The workshop was lovely, gentle and supportive. Reaffirms why I love yoga.
Christine Burtt
What I'll take from the postgrad workshop today:- I loved the way this flowed from information and reflection to practical yoga practice (and back again). it was a very satisfying day on every level, physical, mental and emotional. Thank you so much.
Diane Girdwood
Meeting up with fellow Dru Yoga teachers in the Southwest, I feel really inspired and confident about my teaching again. It is always good to meet up with other yogis to share yoga and chat.
Carole Wyatt
I enjoyed the sequences and the meditation before lunch. I enjoyed the afternoon sequence, tree flow and meditation.
Anne
I can feel myself changing as a person. I feel more confident and more loving. I have taken on a position of increased responsibility at work and have found the postures have increased my confidence. My patients tell me I am nicer.
