It offers a wonderful toolbox to dip into, helping you to:

  • expand your teaching repertoire, bringing joy and creativity to teaching children and adults alike

  • open the way for new business opportunities so you make a living from your Dru Yoga teacher training

  • learn tips on how to deliver yoga online

  • add another string to your bow making a real difference in the world

Khalil Gibran

Feedback from a recent Dru Online course:

  • Teachings felt like one to one, great ease in connecting with everyone, and on a personal note, the chance for my family to connect with everyone, making it a very special experience for me and them to share together. Ness Curry
  • It was much better than I expected. I was less distracted and could focus on the sessions better. Taking notes was also easier. Gerry Thorsby
  • We got to see everyone’s faces..... all the time, not just backs of heads in a classroom! Lol. The Smaller groups were good. Felt like we could interact intimately. Nicole Sullivan
  • Once the technology was sorted it was wonderful - it was just being together in Canberra. The sound was fantastic, only thing I missed were the hugs. Shirley Schubach
  • Because it was online I could make my own food for the day and keep it warm soft and suitable for my system. Jane Bennett
  • ….Also no time wasted like in face to face modules when we have to get organised to group up and go to another area. Margot Smith
