Dru Yoga benefits you emotionally, mentally and spiritually

Your Dru Yoga is highly likely to improve your relationships, give you a sense of purpose and a feeling of being connected to what’s important in your life.

Research into the benefits of Dru Yoga was conducted at the University of Bangor (UK). 48 employees were randomised into a yoga group and a wait-list control group.

The yoga group were given Dru Yoga for six weeks, given three 60 minute classes per week.  The wait-list control group received no intervention during the six week study but were offered free classes after the trial.  Before and after measurements were obtained with the Profile of Mood States - Bipolar, and the Inventory of Positive Psychological Attitudes.

How Dru works

Dru is remarkably effective for healing your body and comes into its own when transforming emotions into positive and redesigning your mind. How does it all work?

The emphasis is on your awareness

Rather than competing to attain end-range movements and perfection of alignment, Dru's interest is in the quality of your awareness. Dru practitioners aim to create an inner alignment, when body, heart, mind and spirit all flow evenly and you feel like you're held in a magnificent moment of stillness and connectedness, touching your inner power.

Redesigning all layers of awareness

The ancient yoga system describes five layers of our experience: body, prana, emotions, intellect and spirituality. Dru practitioners particularly enjoy calling upon the healing potential of each of these layers in a dynamic flow throughout their practice.

You might start by moving your body with clear attention on the ripple of muscles and shape of spine and structure. Simultaneously you might be aware of the state of your consciousness in and around your body - that's your pranic layer. And then to add power to your transformation you'd place your attention within your emotional body; calling healing emotions into your life. Deep inner knowings and affirmations bring your techniques to life... and finally you're likely to enter a deep abiding stillness - and that's where the magic starts!

Core stability

One of the reasons Dru is so remarkable for healing back problems is it's expertise in helping you develop your core stability. Gentle movements and awareful strengthening - with these it's remarkable how quickly you can improve your back, your posture, your breathing and your feeling of being supported in this beautiful world.

Energy Block Release sequences

Just as a house needs electricity to power all its appliances, so the body requires a constant supply of prana, or energy, to enable the organs to function well. Energy flows freely through the body when our lives are harmonious and we express ourselves easily.

dru’s foundation sequence

Energy Block Release 1

EBR 1: Not only will this sequence provide a full body warm-up but will also help balance mind and emotions. This Foundation Sequence is a great way to get energy flowing more freely through the body and bring you to a place of deep inner stillness.

What happens to blocked energy?

Energy Block Release sequences are powerful, effective and graceful

Kids and Teens course

Blocked energy lodges itself first in our joints. If it isn’t released, it goes deeper and settles in the muscles and from there into the internal organs. Unless discharged it will eventually create an environment in which disease can develop.

What happens to blocked energy?

Releasing trapped energy

Dru Yoga EBR sequences are carefully designed movement programmes that work systematically through the body to release tension and clear energy blockages.

The freed energy is then available to be used to heal the body and empower the mind.

What happens to blocked energy?

Harness the energy of emotions

Dru practitioners consider e-motions to be Energy in Motion. Transforming painful emotions into positive is hallmark of Dru, with techniques tried and tested in war zones.

All experiences in your psyche are simply energy - neither positive nor negative - just waiting to be channelled towards your higher nature. Yoga postures and meditation techniques then enable you to focus your awareness with laser-like precision to create the transformations you'd like to achieve.

Relaxation & Renewal

Dru Yoga combines activation, energy block release sequences, asanas, and deep guided relaxation to create a profound sense of well-being. You'll feel blissfully relaxed and renewed after each session.

Increase Your Energy

Experience a surge of vitality with Dru Yoga. By releasing blocked energy through traditional hatha yoga postures, Dru Yoga revitalizes your body from the inside out, helping you feel energized and vibrant quickly.

Yoga for Every Body

Dru Yoga is accessible to all, regardless of age, shape, or size. There's no need to strive for the "perfect posture." We emphasize personalized practice, encouraging multiple ways to perform poses based on your unique abilities.

Redesign your awareness

Western society has not quite yet discovered an incredible truth: you can reshape your awareness by using your movements and breath as a lens. This is an incredibly far-reaching statement to any yogi who has explored how postures can create their own signature shapes within your consciousness: and to give you a few of examples...
