Hello I’m Sue. I am the New Zealand Regional Manager and I work with an amazing local team who support the vision of expanding Dru throughout Aotearoa.
Since studying Dru Yoga and Meditation in Australia I've now been teaching and sharing Dru for 15 years. I first came across Dru in 2000. It was the quiet strength, authenticity and integrity of the teachers that attracted me to Dru, along with the profound peace that Dru Yoga has brought to my life.
My vision was to bring these wonderful Dru techniques to New Zealand and in 2014 we started the first Dru Yoga Teacher Training course in Motueka, Nelson. The Dru Australasia team is looking forward to our next amazing course starting in April 2020!

The first Dru Yoga Teacher Training (DYTT) in New Zealand started in Motueka, Nelson in October 2014 and completed in July 2017. With over 30 students from all over the country attending the course this means many more people now have access to Dru Yoga. As interest grows and people discover how Dru works so effectively on body, mind and spirit we are already planning Aotearoa's second Dru Yoga Teacher Training. The next training will start in April 2020 with lead-up workshops held around New Zealand. So why not register your interest for the workshops and give yourself the opportunity to delve into Dru.

What I am noticing is that the practice not only strengthens me to " bear up " when I need to ....be more discerning....see the big picture....love wholeheartedly ....but also to - more gracefully, willingly and truthfully accept the light within and the increasing desire to shine and share.

How is Dru different?
Dru is a graceful and flowing form of yoga with directed breathing and visualisation. It is soft, yet deeply potent. It is deeply relaxing yet rejuvenating and it can take you to any level of fitness you’d like. But what many people appreciate about Dru is that anyone can do it, regardless of age, body shape or ability
What does Dru mean?
Dru comes from the Sanskrit word dhruva, which refers to the stillness that can be experienced in Dru Yoga and Dru Meditation. In the stillness we are able to sit back from everything happening around us, and see and act from a point of clarity and inner calm.
Dru - the perfect antidote to stress.
Whatever your day has brought you, a Dru Yoga or Meditation class is just what you need! A Dru Yoga or Meditation class is the perfect way to unwind after a stressful day. Our Dru teachers will help you to strengthen your body and calm your mind resulting in a happier, healthier you. Using classical yoga postures, Energy Block Release sequences, Dru Yoga postures and sequences, breathing and meditation techniques and soothing relaxations we help you keep mind, body and soul healthy and in balance.
Dru is for YOU
So whatever your age and ability or shape and size, Dru Yoga and Meditation will suit you. Whether it is in a class situation or a private 1 to 1 session where you will have a session tailored to your own individual needs, you will benefit. Maybe you want to become a yoga teacher or perhaps you just want something for yourself. Sue and the team in New Zealand are looking forward to meeting you. Still not sure? Just come along to a session and leave refreshed, relaxed and rejuvenated.
