From Distraction to Stability

Using powerful movement, breathing and concentration techniques, you will learn to access a deep inner peace, no matter what challenges you may be facing.
WHAT WE GIVE
Fall In Love With Dru Meditation
We've been teaching mindful awareness since the early 1980s where we taught Vipassana retreats to help people start their journey into meditation. Over many years and through training thousands of teachers in yoga and meditation, we've now refined our style into three main stages.
Comprehensive training manuals and access to an international community and peer learning opportunities
STEPS TOWARDS PEACE
The Three Stages of Dru Meditation
The perfect balance between alertness and relaxation - it doesn’t matter if you practise in a chair or sitting cross legged on the floor, it’s all about quietening the mind and stilling the body.
Mindful awareness & acceptance
Dru Meditation, in common with many other types of meditation, starts with comfortable sitting and gentle awareness of the body and breath.
This mindful awareness reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, chronic pain and insomnia.
Conscious engagement of this stage of Dru Meditation will help you to become fully adept at mindfulness in your everyday life.
Yogic Models of Consciousness
The next stage of Dru Meditation takes us from just observing our mind to understanding the vast landscape of our consciousness, described in the yogic tradition through models such as chakras and koshas.
This more refined level of practice helps you understand how the body, energy, emotions and thought are linked.
Master Your Mind & Design Your Life
In the third stage of Dru Meditation you will learn to transform your consciousness by learning to become the master of your emotions and mind.
You’ll learn advanced breathing techniques, mantras and kriyas which will empower your strengths and help you to deeply know yourself.

Annamaya Kosha
Physical Body
Using mindful awareness, you will learn to sit comfortably and relax at will, balancing the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems so you remain alert yet relaxed.
Pranamaya kosha
ENERGY BODY
Whether you're a yoga or meditation teacher, Ayurvedic practitioner, or someone looking to add breathwork to your teaching toolkit, this course is perfect for you.
Manomaya kosha

Anandamaya kosha

Meditation for Inner Balance
You can use this short, 20-minute meditation to find a place of deep stillness and inner balance. It is particularly effective if you are busy or stressed, or if you need to create a bit more space around you. Dru Meditation is about finding a still inner point from which you can look at the world in a different way and discover a new perspective on your life.
Overcoming fear with Dru Meditation
Giving ourselves that quiet time for self-reflection helps us to dissociate a little - especially from emotions like fear and anxiety.
This process of creating distance means that we can learn to become masters of our mind. Dru Meditation helps us overcome our fears by filling our heart and mind with the positive counterparts such as courage and self-empowerment.
