Course contents

The course has been designed as a powerful transformational journey that provides you with the tools to examine and transform ways of being that you find unhelpful so that you can engage with your life in a positive and successful way.

It takes you deeply into the science of meditation, showing how to bring your awareness from the physical body, through to the deepest layers of your being. It’s a systematic approach to working with the five koshas, which are the different levels through which we express ourselves in the world.

• Looking at the physical level, you’ll experience the body as a gateway to the quiet mind.
• Working with the energetic layer, you’ll establish and deepen your awareness of energy flow within the body. You’ll also learn how to access the individual and universal life-force that enables you to maintain, generate and store internal energy.
• You’ll explore how to engage creatively with emotional energy.
• Moving on, you’ll examine the different levels of the mind and the nature of thought. As you reconnect with your original dynamic energy and passion for life you’ll discover that you have access to a constant flow of creative ideas and an understanding of your place in the world. 

Amongst other things, you’ll learn:

• Meditation essentials e.g. optimising your sitting posture and environment as well as overcoming resistances to your practice
• Dru prana kriyas, pranayama, mudra and visualisation techniques
• Meditations for each layer of awareness (kosha) – physical, energetic, emotional, intellectual and connectedness
• A deep understanding of subtle energy
• Contemplation techniques
• Chanting/singing and mantra meditation
• Meditation for healing the body and the earth
• Meditation in the workplace
• Structuring and planning meditation classes
• Managing group energetics in a meditation class

What if I’m new to Dru Meditation?

Previous knowledge of meditation is not necessary as there are several options to help you gain the necessary experience. Generally, as a precursor to the course, we suggest that you:

• attend a preparatory Dru Meditation retreat
• book a personal mentoring with a senior Dru Meditation tutor
• purchase a copy of the Dru Yoga book Stillness in Motion and join the Dru Yoga Online Studio, particularly learning the main Energy Block Release sequences
• have a basic knowledge of the chakras and subtle anatomy
• attend a Dru Yoga class regularly if possible
• subscribe to the Dru Meditation Online course

When do I qualify as a Dru Meditation teacher?

Once you’ve attended all the course days, completed the necessary assignments and passed the final teaching assessment.

Teaching skills

There will be on-going brief teaching practice assignments throughout the course. Your tutors and peers will assess your final teaching practice. For this you’ll be asked to teach at least three different aspects of meditation to your fellow students.

Assessments: projects and assignments

If you wish to graduate from this course with a Dru Meditation Teacher diploma there are a number of assessment processes built into the course. On this course the emphasis for your assignments is on your personal practice, and a meditation journal that we ask you to keep as a record of your personal practice. There will also be a written assignment, as well as revision exercises during the course days. These revision exercises will help you keep up to date with the course syllabus. They are organised in a stress-free, informal way.

Course manuals

We provide detailed course manuals to assist your home learning process, although much of what you learn will come directly from your tutors. The notes in the manuals are intended as aids to help you remember; they are a foundation to support your own experience. They can never substitute for live tuition.
