I'm not a ‘size 8 with skimpy shorts and a 6-pack’ kinda girl… In fact I’m a curvy lass of size 18. And, shocking as it may seem to popular social media, I do my yoga and I love it :-) But, I also struggle with maintaining a regular practice and I sure as heaven ain’t going to be standing on my head anytime soon!
Real yoga is about real people living real lives… We’re not gym bunnies, we love an occasional hot chocolate (with whipped cream). We work hard every day to save for package holidays and prefer a cosy night... more Wellbeing Hub area: Dru Yoga tips for life

Can you be a yogi and have money?
Over the years there seems to developed a stigma that money and yoga are mutually exclusive - you can’t have money and be happy… Indeed, that yoga is all about giving - rather than receiving… And yet, conversely, that there is also the Law of Attraction which states you can have anything you want - and be happy about it! For me, this dichotomy created an inner conflict, a doubt if you will; “Am I truly deserving of wealth and abundance?” The yogi side of me clearly says; “I don’t need money to be happy”. And yet money is what... more

Balance in times of change Part 2 - Moving into faith In my previous blog we touched on how attachment to our emotions, the fleeting senses and yearnings or desires can mislead and de-stabilise us. In this blog we’re exploring and touching upon something bigger than our ‘small’ lives - consciously choosing to expand our awareness and to learn to trust in something bigger and greater than ourselves…
The transient and the unchanging
The Bhagavad Gita is the written record of a dialogue between... more

Balance in times of changePart 1 - The path of equanimity Change can be really exciting - a time of new energy, new growth and anticipation, but it is also inherently unstable. That sense of “not knowing” can make us feel uncertain about what’s coming next in our lives. Although change is a natural phenomenon, for example we see the seasons constantly changing around us, the moon circling the earth, the water evaporating and returning as rain… There are, in fact, very few things in the manifest world that are in any way stable or... more

For most of us, a long day on our feet or concentrating on a computer screen can leave us feeling drained and exhausted.
Coming home tired night after night can lead to unhelpful habits as we attempt to nurture ourselves with the wrong things. Sure a glass of wine and your favourite TV programme is nourishing - but every night? This month, why not try a bit of movement to restore your energy and then use your time to do all those things you’ve always wanted to do!
DO have a shower - wash away the day and start your day again!
DO go for a walk round the block - walking activates the kidney meridian point called “the bubbling spring” - it’s literally the source of all your energy!
DON’T - munch on comfort food or take away - try a smoothie or a fresh veggie juice to keep you going... more

For many of us it’s been a challenging year. We’ve seen political turmoil, economic uncertainty and environmental instability and it's easy to feel depressed about the state of the world.
Yet what really happened? And where are we headed? As yogis we try to look at every situation with an open mind. And the facts are rather surprising – when we examine the actual data, many aspects of the world, from violence to poverty, health to energy production, are actually improving.
Knowing this might do more than make your heart feel lighter. It could help you feel more inspired to make a difference to the world.
It turns out that by historical standards our world is living through the most peaceful, healthy, safe and compassionate time in history. Not only that, neuroscience has shown that... more
