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. 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 worldwide in their application and harmonise with standards used by other bodies internationally.
The Dru Professional Network (DPN) helps sustain the connection and skilling of all those who have qualifications to teach, care for or coach others using Dru techniques or learning.
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 bona fides of graduates that market themselves as professional Dru practitioners.
