How is Dru different from other types of yoga?

Dru Yoga works to balance the chakras (energy centres of the body) and to access the powerful energy of the heart.

Key principles

Energy Block Release sequences are easy-to-practise, flowing movements that help to release tension physically, mentally and emotionally.

The spinal wave and spinal twist are core features of Dru, enhancing spinal health and vitality.

Joints are kept relaxed and soft during movement (as in tai chi). This creates flexibility and a free flow of subtle energy.

A deep undertanding of core stability.

In Dru Yoga all movements originate from the spine because a flexible, healthy spine supports your entire yoga practice. Within the flow of movement, Dru Yoga creates powerful moments of stillness which we call ‘Dru points’.Dru Yoga works to balance the chakras (energy centres of the body) and to access the powerful energy of the heart.

Dru Yoga research

At Dru, our on-going research programmes enable our yoga teachers to work more closely with large employers such as county councils and the NHS.  A study published in September 2012 in the Journal of Occupational Medicine, showed that Dru Yoga significantly reduced both stress and back pain at work—two of the key factors leading to sickness absence at work (costing the British employers more than £5 billion per year).

In this study, Dru Yoga teacher trainer Ned Hartfiel and other researchers at Bangor University recruited more than 70 employees from Conwy County Council and randomized them into a Dru Yoga group (who received one 50 minute Dru Yoga session each week for 8 weeks, along with a 20 min DVD for home practice) and a control group (who received no intervention).

After the eight week programme, the Dru Yoga Group scores (when compared with the control group) were significantly lower for perceived stress, back pain, sadness and hostility, and much higher for feeling self-assured, attentive and serene.
