Welcome to the
Dru Professional Network

The professional body for Dru Yoga Teachers, Dru Meditation Teachers, Dru Yoga Therapists and Ayurveda Health Coaches.

ABOUT THE DPN
By joining the Dru Professional Network (DPN) you know that Dru is standing behind you and your qualification.

When we originally created Dru, the major passion we all shared was our love for yoga and meditation. It was through these practices that we initially wanted to help people find a healthier and more empowered way of living. Of course, we recognise these are only two of the many routes to achieving a more fulfilling existence.

Well recognised accredited Dru qualifications can now be pursued in the domains of Yoga Therapy, Ayurveda Health Coaching, as well as different applications of Yoga and Meditation.

Students, clients, and professional bodies can readily confirm the learning background and professional status of an individual they wish to engage by referring to the table opposite.

The Dru Office can be contacted to confirm the correct use of these appellations. They are world wide in their application and harmonise with standards used by other bodies internationally.

The Network assists its members to continue to learn and grow by being a source of communal advice and materials. It also functions as the authority for registering and confirming the bone fides of graduates that market themselves as professional Dru Practitioners.

CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT (CPD)

If you have been qualified for more than a year, you will need to have evidence of relevant CPD.

We've made recording CPD simpler for you

Simply book online at druyoga.com for a postgrad event (many other events), and your CPD points will be automatically added to your CPD record. If you book a Dru workshop online at druyoga.com, your personal development CPD points will be added.

However, as these are not the only way to achieve CPD points, you will still need to send in your CPD record each year if you use one of the other ways of accruing CPD points.
