Testimonials about Dru Yoga and Meditation
Your experiences
Chris Murray

I have benefitted totally from taking part in the Spirituality of Yoga Course, particularly online, so that more people can take part, no travel, and connection wherever we are in the world. I love having the videos so that I can recreate the experience myself. I'm excited to be part of a sangha and look forward to continuing over the next year. I'd really love little 20 minute live reminders of the practices through facebook so we can continue most mornings or whenever we can, together all over the World, like we did in the 5 day challenge, then I can have bite sized reminders to use daily. Thank you all the team, so much, for making this accessible to me.

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.

There is a new spark to my day which makes me smile. I feel I have been gifted a set of truly beautifully practices to enrich my heart and in turn those around me. The Spirituality of Yoga course was lovingly crafted and delivered brilliantly online. I highly recommend joining the next course and opening up your heart to a uniquely nourishing and uplifting experience.

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!

Dru Yoga is enjoyable and fun - puts a smile on your face. After the workshop, I felt full of energy and emotionally in harmony. It was great to connect with so many lovely people.
Karina
Family Nurse, Bolton
Since starting Dru I feel I have developed a stronger sense of ‘Self’. In everything I try to do to develop myself I am slowly seeing changes also in those I have close contact with. I feel I am calmer and focus on self care- family and work colleagues are beginning to join me
Lynda
Dru teacher, Abergavenny
It has taught me to listen to my own body and the voice inside me that knows exactly what I should say and do. By taking the course, I know that my life will be full of abundance - I have it all inside. I feel I can connect to my pupils on a different level and I am able to help them on their life journey.

Dru Yoga is so gentle and flowing with no forced movement; my body always feels so much better after practising.
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.

Mickey
Santorini Wellness, Greece
When I first saw the dance demo I didn’t believe I would be able to completely achieve it. My sense of achievement at having completed it has made me feel that I can now accomplish anything I set my mind to in my life. Break it down, repeat it and glue it together
Veronica Hall

Nice sociable, friendly day. Great mix of activity and relaxation - positive atmosphere. I enjoyed all aspects. Hope I can remember some things to add to my yoga practice. The workshop was well organised and planned - all running very smoothly. All teachers very enthusiastic, confident and reassuring.

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
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.

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

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.

Linda Griffiths
Dru Yoga and Meditation Teacher, Porthcawl
My name is Linda I did the Meditation teacher training in 2010, after teaching Dru Yoga for 6 yrs.
Knowing the benefits that Dru Yoga had for me, I then went on to teach both Dru Yoga and Meditation, I found that Dru Meditation took my practice to another level, I became a much calmer person, slept better, my outlook on life changed, my love for nature increased, what I found astounding was when I began teaching meditation, was watching, over the course of time the wonderful changes in people, it was almost like they were blossoming !
So many of my students told they felt so much better since beginning to meditate.
I would recommend the Dru Meditation Course to anyone, it really is a life changer.

I am just working on the spine assignment. Apart from really enjoying all the research and information, I had to smile, because whilst writing about the spine and common back problems I have discomfort in my back (chronic) and sitting in one position, not as relaxed as I would like, is aggravating it. I have been taking frequent breaks, doing the Dru stretches, tri spinal release, marjariasana, bringing my knees up and rocking my spine which I love, standing forward bend and squats and when I finish studying each day I do a long relaxation. I have been drinking lots of water as well. I love the fact I have the tools from the Dru to help myself and have the chance to put it all into practice. It's all made such a difference to my back, neck and rest of my body. From a happy yoga student!

These Dru Youth yoga retreats are so beneficial and have given me so much confidence to be my true self in everything I do and my everyday choices.
When I feel stressed or going through a rough time it is so amazing to remember that I have such a close support network from Dru who all share their support, love and care with everyone whenever it is needed. This love, care and support is always reciprocated.
Dru Yoga courses are such an amazing experience to have. I think everyone would benefit from having an experience like that. They teach you so many stress-relieving techniques that everyone can benefit from.
The friends and memories you make at Dru stay with you for life.
I look forward to the Dru Youth course all year round

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.
