Dru Yoga as you've never experienced it before! Starting online, this special course delves into the wonderful world of koshas and chakras, giving us tools to revolutionise our lives and our teaching.

Dru Yoga as you've never experienced it before.

How is it that Dru is so very, very effective in transforming emotions, shaping your mind to acheive your goals, healing your body..., and well, the list is impressive, isn't it?

This course shows you how. In depth. And with such remarkable clarity that your students and friends will be wondering how your teaching has suddenly become so transformative.

You'll travel along a magical journey of healing and fulfillment, working systematically through each kosha: in your physical body, your pranic field, your emotions, your knowings/attitudes, and eventually in the core life goals that inspire your journey through life. Within each kosha, the course takes you sequentially through the chakras, showing you yoga's main techniques for transforming these vital parts of your consciousness. 

The Advanced Practitioner Diploma is the recommended next step for yoga graduates or senior students who want to be a more confident teacher, able to brilliantly share yoga's rich tradition of subtle energy and the holistic mind, based on the chakras and kosha system. It gives you two years' of CPD. 

You're probably already familiar with the idea that the chakras are the parts of your mind that control the ways you relate to your world - abundance, relationships, empowerment, giving, the awareness of dharma and your life goals. But these are just words. This course enables you to explore these as living experiences, giving you yoga's techniques to master them at every level. 

This course is open to Yoga teachers of all traditions and senior students of the Dru Yoga teacher training course. 

Read on for more details, and we are so looking forward to helping you lift your yoga and your life to magnificent new heights!

Master an inner world of vivid transformational potential

Session 1

An in-depth exploration of asana modification and the physical level

As you are aware each posture has an essence, an inner transformative power waiting to be discovered. During this session we will explore how to finely attune modifications to the needs of the individual,  in doing this, we will discover keys to help us embrace the essence of every posture. We will then go on to explore the physical level, working through the chakras from base to top. 

Sessions 2 - 3

Discovering your pranic body

We work through the chakras from base to top at the pranic layer.  You’ll learn how to work with specific postures and sequences to strengthen or balance each chakra.  We’ll explore how these postures and sequences affect your subtle energy, with remarkable exercises for expanding your capacity to master your subtle energy.

Sessions 4 - 5

Discovering the power of the motivational kosha

Working again through the chakras from base to top, we focus on the emotive layer, and how we can use the postures and sequences already previously explored at these more subtle levels. You'll learn how yoga techniques enable you to revolutionise your emotional landscape, and how to help your students (and friends and colleagues!) do the same. You'll also learn how each chakra is the part of our mind that controls crucial aspects of life (abundance/vitality, relating, achieving goals, building harmony, knowing the right thing to do, discerning your role in life, achieving unity).

Sessions 6 - 7

Harnessing the 'body of creation' - the vijnanamaya kosha

Exploring the chakras at an even more refined level, from base to top, we now reach the culmination of yoga's potential for designing every aspect of your life. This is the realm where you can effortlessly transform old habits and past conditioning, where you can reconfigure your heart and mind towards the success that is natively yours. 

Graduation and assessment

There will be some written reflective practices for you to record your experiences and discover the remarkable progress you are making.

The course has proven to be all the more effective with online exploration!

Being able to explore the techniques in your own time and space has been highly beneficial for our students so far. And then our interactive teaching style has helped everyone quickly discover each other's experiences, massively broadening our discovery of how differently we all benefit from yoga. 

This interactive style is one of the greatest methods by which the course builds a warm sense of support between everyone. We really get to feel each other's triumphs!

The small group tutorials will help you build friendships and a 'sangha' of support which may last for many, many years. Welcome to a whole new set of friends from around the country and perhaps the world!
