Your experiences
Imogen Groves
Dru Yoga teacher & gardener, Honiton, Devon
A perfect day. I felt a bit tired in the afternoon and a little resistent to working in a group - it turned out to be the best bit!! Full of joy!
Flora Palou
Dru yoga teacher. Otley, Leeds, UK
I loved the Spirituality of Yoga course. It’s packed with information, advice and practices. I have enough material to practice for so very long time. It was delivered by top class tutors, in a very kind, caring way. It was very obvious that they had the students interest in mind, and the depth of their knowledge and wisdom is invaluable. I love the fact that people’s differences are acknowledged and respected, and they kindly guide you to practice that which will be beneficial for you at one moment in time. The group discussions are filled with compassion and respect for everyone’s experiences. I have been experiencing the benefits of the different practices in all areas of my life. I feel I have already gained inner strength, confidence and clarity and, most importantly for me, the effects seem to have rippled to the people around me. My relationship with my family feels more harmonious (quite a win considering we are in lockdown). I look forward to continuing exploring and practicing, and participate in the Sangha. Thank you very much Dru for being such a real, no nonsense team!

Excellent masterclass at a lovely venue. I've wanted to learn EBR8 for a long time. It was well worth it and I've enjoyed catching up with friends and colleagues.
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.

Dru invites you to work at a much deeper level, it is an inside out journey. When you arrive at that place where you realise the commitment required, jump in, embrace it, live it and breathe it.

Well prepared. Well thought out. The sharing of tasks between Imogen and Anne went well. Lovely people.
Judith
Remedial therapist, Abergavenny
I find Dru meditation really helps to bring balance in myself in this hurly burly world. It is a wonderful tool to take out and share with others.

This week was incredibly fantastic. I did not only reload my body energy and unwind my mind about any worries, but I totally felt like I had an uploaded bubble-bath!
With this experience Dru makes it much easier for me to bring the techniques into my daily life. Thank you for the amazing way you take care!

When I came along to a Youth course at Dru I didn’t really know what to expect as I had no prior experience with any yoga. But it was a really enjoyable experience and I’m glad I made the decision to go.
The people on the course were all really nice, and I’m friends with everyone I’ve met through the retreats.
Also, the food is really incredible, you will love it.
I’ve always had really tense back and shoulder muscles, resulting in poor posture and poor shoulder flexibility. Even though at first difficult if you stick with it you will eventually see results, as I have.
If you’re considering coming to a Dru Youth retreat I would recommend it, and I found it to be really worhwhile

It is really good to experience different teachers. There is always something new to learn.
Sarah Brown
Yoga teacher, Gloucester
You will learn more than you could imagine - about yoga postures, philosophy, anatomy & physiology, yourself and the relationship you have with yourself, the world and others - and so much more. The course is really well structured and balanced across different areas of teaching. The whole of the teaching team are totally amazing - supportive, full of wisdom and knowledge and I feel really grateful for the last couple of years. The course will go quicker than you think - make the most of this opportunity. Thank you!

The Spirituality of Yoga course has inspired me to continue to develop my Sadahana practice particularly with relevance to meditation and sacred texts.
Steve

A relaxing and friendly atmosphere, nothings too much trouble. The experience allows you to develop but also give something back. The retreat gives you tasters of all different things: Yoga, Meditation, relaxation, chanting, good food, new skills. Loved the location and the friendship
Maureen

I enjoyed the whole experience of the Karma Yoga retreat. Great programme for volunteers. I felt appreciated for work done. Felt that everyone worked as a team. Teachers on yoga retreat were great teachers.
The venue is stunning. I felt refreshed and inspired to come again to Karma Yoga retreat in near future. I am considering going on Foundation course and possibly teacher training course

If you’re thinking of doing the teacher training course, just go for it! It’s brilliant for yourself and a great way to help others
Nikki Martin

I enjoyed the waves of peace relaxation; lovely! Loved the kosha talk and flowing tree and pear tree. Loved the kosha talk and flowing tree and pear tree! The opportunity simply to 'be' in a class, rather than analysing and reflecting on teaching style, alignment points etc. The workshop was enjoyable, relaxed and designed to nurture us!
Julie
Retired Special Needs Teacher, Mirfield
Starting my journey on the Dru Yoga Teacher Training Course was like all my dreams coming true and I cannot wait for the next module. Being amongst supportive, like-minded students and tutors was inspiring and confirmed to me that I can do this!!

What I'll take from this postgrad yoga workshop today:- integration of movement and emotions and the affirmations. Also developing asana work at a different pace.

Mairi MacNaughton
Clinical Manager /Person centred therapist, Glasgow
The Spirituality of Yoga course allowed me to connect back in with my self at a time when the external world had become very challenging and uncertain. Through the various tools and teachings from the course, It reminded me of the strength that lies within and the stillness that is there. This benefited me on a individual level but also my family and my colleagues and clients as I was able to share a sense of clarity and calmness back into the workplace.

After coming here and being with so many brilliant and bright people, it’s more like coming home, than a holiday or break.
Steph Mayo

The Spirituality of Yoga course has been a beautiful sacred experience, a sanctuary and a deeply nourishing space to take my journey into spirituality onwards and upwards. I have loved it all and have reached depths and heights in terms of understanding, insights and wisdom. Thanks from a grateful heart to all the team - the variety of teaching input has added considerable breadth to my knowledge and given practical tools to build and develop my Self. Loving appreciation to Lalita for hosting our supportive, inspiring zoom group. Thank you, thank you, thank you one and all of you beautiful people.

I enjoyed all of this workshop, but particularly EBR3 and the flowing tree. My overall impression was that this workshop was great; very peaceful and as a complete beginner, easy for me to do.
Debra Mann
yoga teacher, Hampshire
What I'll take away from today's postgrad workshop:- sharing with other yoga teachers from other yoga schools of yoga. Great explanation of the koshas and I'll add Salutation to the 4 Directions to my lessons.

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.
Mary Honeyman

The Spirituality of Yoga Course was beautifully balanced and life affirming. I now feel a strong connection with the earth and grounded for the first time in my 60 something years! A good starting place for the onward journey. Thank you all.
Christine Burtt
Fitness & yoga teacher
What I'll take from the postgrad workshop today:- I loved the way this flowed from information and reflection to practical yoga practice (and back again). it was a very satisfying day on every level, physical, mental and emotional. Thank you so much.
Sue
IT manager, Wolverhampton
It has inspired me to be more disciplined with my practice and in addition, to think more deeply about its effect on me at all levels; I’ve learnt so much! The course has also enabled me to continue the process of unwinding, freeing up and reaching out to life!
I have gained more knowledge – I feel more confident. It’s given me a much wider vocabulary to take students into other koshas, to vary my teaching and experiment more.
