Dru Yoga as you've never experienced it before! 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. Learn in-depth what makes Dru Yoga so effective in transforming emotions, helping you to achieve your goals and heal your body.
You'll travel along a magical journey of healing and fulfilment, 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 more confident teachers. It will enable you 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 Dru Yoga teachers and senior students of the Dru Yoga teacher training course, as well as yoga teachers from any tradition.

Course Contents:
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).
Session 6: 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.

Assessment
To qualify for the Advanced Practitioner Diploma you will need to meet the criteria below. If you don't need the Diploma, you can simply attend the live sessions and tutorials and discover their rich depths without needing to meet the assessment criteria.
After each live session, you will be asked to choose 4-7 yoga techniques and explore them at the level of that session's kosha. You'll have more than 40 possibilities to choose from, and of course, you can do as many as you'd like.
As a result, you'll discover the awesome powers inherent in yoga postures and sequences, you'll learn how to deepen your teaching of them (if you are teaching), and learn how to re-design your physical, pranic, emotional and knowing layers.
Assessment will be conducted interactively during the Tutorial groups. This will be in two themes:
1. Practice sheets based on the techniques you explore
You'll be invited to share your experiences for these techniques, and we'll have a rich and enlivening conversation that will aim to help you deepen your understanding, as well as making the most of this in your classes (if you are teaching). Assessment will be based on your understanding of each kosha. We'd like to reassure you that you already have a lot of this knowledge and therefore will be deepening this during the tutorial groups. The tutors will support you through this process. Because we are all different, assessment will be based on your enthusiasm for investigating your own experience and how to communicate it, rather than the actual depths of your experience.
2. Class planning
You'll be invited to work in small groups within your tutorial to create a class plan based on your experiences. Assessment will be base on your enthusiasm and understanding of the principles taught on the course
Attendance
You will need to show you have attended or caught up with at least 5 of the main teaching weekends, and 4 of the tutorials.
