Your experiences
Saphia
Age 15, London
Through the Youth Course I realised that there is a different life than what we live, and that’s the life that I want to live. I’ll definitely be back next year.
Saamie

You’ll make friends who will last the rest of your life and become really self aware in what you want to do in your life and how to reach your goals.
Annie
University Lecturer, Sheffield
I have been inspired by all the tutors. The course has been transformative for me. I have made changes - it has made these possible.
Dave Peter
Mining engineer, Aberdeenshire
I wasn’t at all sure I wanted to teach yoga, but I knew I needed something to deepen my yoga. Yet I was completely unaware how much of a difference it has gone on to make.
The scope for self development was absolutely massive.
I knew it would be good for me, I knew it would benefit me, but I had absolutely no idea how just much it actually would benefit my life. It was incredible.

Taxonomist, Valley
You feel nurtured and supported all the way. Each module is a solid foundation from which to launch into the next.
Janet
IT Consultant, High Wycomb
The training is about so much more than the asanas, it is very holistic. The pace is at the right level, every asana is refreshed so you get the opporunity to learn how to do it correctly.
Christine Row
Retired, South Australia
Christine, l am retired and live in rural South Australia. The timing of this course, The Spirituality of Yoga, was nothing short of amazing, as i was feeling the winter blues, and I'm excited about the continuing journey.
Jo Bell

I feel uplifted and less burdened.
Paula Sutton
Estate agent, Plymouth, Devon, UK
I really enjoyed being amongst like-minded yogis. I enjoyed the moving posture work as it's not often I do postures I tend to do EBR[s or sequence work. I enjoyed the sequence this afternoon. I absolutely love all of these workshops and they keep me connected, both with new yogis and in my own body and mind. There was. very good mix of exercises, things to think bout and contributing verbally.
KL
Yoga teacher, Galmton, Devon, UK
The workshop was very friendly and welcoming. Good combination of gentle flows and more challenging movements. I really enjoyed it - learnt some new movements and enjoyed the sequences.
Carolyn Bennett
Dru Teacher, Bristol
Participating in the course has helped me to go deeper and experience things about myself that I have not experienced before. It brought up emotions and has enabled me to find tools that help me to deal with them. I am a lot more confident in everything I do; I feel comfortable with myself, my life and now find that I am able to deal with everything which comes my way. My language has developed and I now feel confident to use words to try and take my students into experiencing all kosha levels.
Gina McGarry

Well prepared. Well thought out. The sharing of tasks between Imogen and Anne went well. Lovely people.
Fiona Wells

Discovering the love inside is amazing, discovering how to help others to discover that love inside themselves is stunning.
CB

Great to re-connect with yoga through flowing sequences; energising at same time as being relaxing and nurturing.
Jane Clark
Yoga teacher, Crewkerne
What I'll take from today's yoga postgrad workshop:- A found it a very holistic day. Sharing the teaching of postures with the others was very useful and I loved the Salutation to the 4 Directions. As usual, great resources and excellent teaching from Anne & Padma. Thank you.
Alison Hayward
Surveyor, Honiton, Devon, UK
I enjoyed the challenging yoga moves with Padma before and after lunch. It was a beautiful day for me - an opportunity to take care of my wellbeing and remind myself of good practice that I can do at home, with kindness to myself.

Yvonne
Staff Nurse, Port Talbot
I love the way the tutors introduce us to the energy body and the chakras when teaching the asanas. I feel as I have used the EBRs, asanas and relaxation over the last few months that I have changed as a person. I feel more confident and more in touch with my true self. It is a lovely journey.
Sue Grierson
retired, Churchdown, Glos, UK
I liked the warm-up - the twist, my era! It was a good venue; comfortable and nice choice of refreshments. The workshop was lovely, gentle and supportive. Reaffirms why I love yoga.

I wasn't sure what to expect from the Spirituality of Yoga course, but so far it has surpassed anything I could have imagined, I've always been in touch with nature but this course has given it an added dimension, I'm beginning to feel more at peace with myself and I'm looking forward to the rest of the journey

The people are very special, they are gifted with the possibility of doing what they love & help others on the way.
Hlary Symmans
Pilates and Dru Yoga teacher, Isle of Wight
This Spirituality of Yoga has been an amazing experience for me, it has brought me back to my authentic self, helped me to realise that I need connection with nature (even when it's raining!) I have found such a sense of calmness and groundness, with the meditation practice, discovered that I need to value and trust myself. I know this is just the beginning of my journey and still have a lot to learn, but so looking forward to the ongoing journey with the support and encouragement of the wonderful Dru team!
Nicola
Hampshire
An expanding experience of the body and mind. A really special & beautiful place to be a part of. Meeting lots of new people, though from very different backgrounds but all wanting to explore further/increase their knowledge of Dru yoga & its various elements and also those who make Dru principles their lives and want to help others enhance their lives.
Portia Pretzel
Dru Yoga student
Dru Yoga is accessible to everyone; you don’t have to be able to do the lotus posture to start to practise. Just Dru it!
The Dru Yoga Teacher Training course turned my life around.
Adrienne Fouracre

Dru Yoga really is the Yoga of the Heart. It brings awareness to the heart space and heart - our spiritual heart. Inspiring tutors.
Julie Carnie
Aberdeenshire
I have just completed the Spirituality of Yoga course and I am so very grateful to you all for these beautiful teachings and I do the meditation daily and my spiritual sacred space. I’m actually going to watch the course again as I think there are a lot of things I may have missed, a bit like revisiting your books, you always see something you never noticed before. I have definitely felt a shift in my life spiritually and am so very thankful to you all for this.

Learning how to be calm and connect with the earth is a precious lesson.
LD
Dru Yoga teacher, West Yorkshire
As a qualified Dru Yoga teacher, I thought I had a good understanding of asana and the koshas - which of course I did, but the APD course has taken that level of understanding and more importantly my personal experience of my yoga practice to a different level.
The course took me on a journey through the koshas in a way that not only increased my awareness of how I experience asana but also how to use asana to reshape my experience. With the support and guidance of the tutors, I was able to revisit the asana I previously avoided which has contributed to my body being stronger and more flexible than at any time since my twenties - and I now love to practise those asanas.
Emotionally, it has helped me process difficult emotions such as grief and shown the way to change self-limiting beliefs. For me, the real gift of the course was the tutorials which became the foundation for building a supportive sangha of wonderful yogis which continues to exist. It was during these sessions of deep personal sharing that our fantastic tutors were able to share further their incredible wisdom and answer the many questions that inevitably spring forth in any process of swadhyaya - I highly recommend this course!
