Gillian Beeson

Gillian Beeson is a Dru Meditation and Yoga teacher whose journey into yoga began at the age of 51. With a background in education, financial planning and management, premises operations, and health and safety, Gillian led a team of 16 staff before turning her focus to wellbeing and spiritual growth.

Initially not drawn to yoga, Gillian sought it out when her joints began to stiffen. Her first class with Mona Fairholme was a turning point—what began as a physical need blossomed into a profound journey of self-discovery and transformation. Since then, she has trained extensively in Dru Yoga and Meditation, drawing particular inspiration from the Bhagavad Gita, which she turns to for timeless wisdom and clarity.

Gillian now teaches her own yoga classes and contributes to yoga and meditation training in both Yorkshire and Wales. She also supports advanced practitioner development and has taught on specialised courses such as Unveiling Yogic Deities and the Gayatri Sadhana.

What she brings to others is her lived experience—a testament to the transformational power of starting yoga later in life. Through Dru, she has found sanctuary and strength in the face of life’s challenges, and she now helps others discover the same inner steadiness and joy.
