Dr Melanie Jones PhD
Therapist / Yoga Teacher, Aberdeenshire
This course came as a support at a difficult time, spiritually, for me. The Spirituality of Yoga Course provided focus, a structure to move forward, and showed me some of the jewels of spiritual practice that will stand me in good stead for years to come. Thank you.

The course has taught me to find the power in gentleness. Previously I was used to fast-paced, high energy yoga, but deep down I knew I wanted a more holistic experience of yoga. The course has certainly delivered on this, deepening my knowledge in all sorts of areas and now I know and appreciate that postures/sequences don't have to be physically demanding to be truly powerful. Also, the whole journey has made me realise that I am enough and that you don't have to be perfect to be fabulous! The support from tutors, helpers, Dru Star Lounge is awesome.

This course really helps you look clearly at yourself, in a very gentle and supportive way. It teaches you to accept and love yourself as you are.
Sam
Health Coach, Prague
This course teaches yoga which everyone can do at all levels and stages so it’s really accessible. The teachers are real pros and have amazing experience to back up the knowledge. My personal practice has improved a lot, so has my memory, concentration, calmness and alertness. I also made very strong friendships with like-minded people.

I thoroughly enjoyed the 3 sessions of the Spirituality of Yoga course, reconnecting with Dru after a very long break away. Every session flowed seamlessly and offered something for everyone, wherever they are on their journey. There was so much to take in, I’ve downloaded all the sessions and am starting again. I notice subtleties that I missed on the live sessions. I would recommend this course to anyone who seeks to deepen their understanding of spirituality in a gentle and encouraging way. Many thanks to the wonderful Dru team.

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.

Positive, loving people, learning things deeper, connecting with the earth and loving what’s already here on earth and appreciating it.
Kirsty Elliot
Yoga teacher, Wiltshire
As a yoga teacher, this course has taken my practice to a level I didn't even know existed!! It has shown me my true path in life and shone a light on it. The course has helped me incredibly in every way by taking classes to a different level and has given me the pathway to connect to people's souls.

If you want to press stop, feel more gratitude, give more and open your heart to a bright and happy existence, the DYTT is a place to make a start. Be inspired, work hard and make it happen
Michelle Marcuzzo
Administrative Assistant & Dru Yoga Teacher, Australia
My experience of the Spirituality of Yoga course was that it was truly amazing! Teachers of Dru and students alike, can really gain from the support and wisdom of this beautiful course. It reminds us gently and realistically, of all of that we can aspire to and how to achieve it within our daily 'sadhana' setting, so that we can be 'true to ourselves', whilst offering more to others. The extra support and guidance offered, before, during and after the course, if required, makes it even more remarkable. I found it to be a wonderful course to do, particularly during these most challenging times. I would recommend it to everyone.

What I'll take from today's yoga postgrad workshop:- My favourite part was the Salutation to the 4 Directions. I love doing and teaching this already, but really enjoyed using colour and affirmations within the sequence.
Pam Flanagan

My experience of The Spirituality of Yoga Course was amazing. The tutors were so warm and friendly and made the content really accessible. The course was extremely well-planned and built up step by step. As it was quite intensive, I think if you were new to yoga and meditation you might have needed a longer time between sessions for absorbing and practising. However, as we were able to download the sessions (a wonderful gift), there is plenty of time for replaying and reinforcing the learning. I enjoyed every minute of the course and am very grateful that I had the opportunity to take part.

Having come to the end of the Spirituality of Yoga adventure I am looking forward to taking this further. It was a truly beautiful experience shared with and offered by such open souls. We attuned with nature, nourished ourselves with uplifting yoga and meditation and were offered wisdom to weave into our daily lives. We met as like minded friends to discuss our practice devoting ourselves to explore our spiritual path. Thank you Dru I am so glad to be part of this journey.

“Incredible what a difference a week on a Dru Yoga retreat can do. Just experience it. Words cannot describe it.”

Amazing weekend of yoga, walking and meditation. Such a beautiful place full of amazing people. Staff are very helpful and supportive and the food is superb. Would highly recommend a visit.

The Spirituality of Yoga course was an inspiring programme that helped to reinvigorate my yoga and meditation practice. I loved feeling connected with the senior tutors and spiritual seekers worldwide. As I live in Australia, going to Wales for a spiritual retreat is a wonderful idea and not always practical ... so an online spiritual retreat is the next best thing! It was an awesome experience and I look forward to connecting with the Sangha over the coming year.
Kim Kinsella
Therapist and Dru Yoga teacher, Richmond, UK
This course has taken EBR 1 to a completely different level of understanding alignment of the energy centres. The deep relaxation techniques and sitting techniques will be beneficial to my students in preparation for meditation. The stories are really inspiring.
I took the Dru Meditation online course for my personal development and have found it easier to include meditation into my daily yoga practice now. I have so enjoyed it that I would like to take the Meditation teacher training course.
Maggie Sanderson
Dru Yoga & Meditation teacher, The Netherlands
The Spirituality of Yoga helped me to focus what is important to me in my life right now. My heart knows the path I wish to follow. With the practices I felt my distractions melt away and I felt myself expanding consciously. Exactly what I was looking for.

Great to re-connect with yoga through flowing sequences; energising at same time as being relaxing and nurturing.
Donna Meyer
DRU student - Victoria Australia
I have just completed session 1 of the Swadharma Dru Dance Course and I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the dance. I already feel that I have started to develop some muscle memory and connection with the spirit of the dance. So well done, great teaching. Also great design of a very relevant and creative practice utilising ancient wisdom and symbology to open awareness of Swadharma. Perfectly right for me at this time.
Thank you and I am looking forward to the next sessions enthusiastically.
Margaret Wootton
Therapist, Wolverhampton
If you are thinking of doing the teacher training course, I would say just do it. You get more flexibility and knowledge of yoga, find peace in yourself with the ability to pass it on to others. Each one you meet knows there is something about you with a readience of peace and confidence around you. 'Find your inner light of peace'.

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.
