Dr Ned Harfiel describes some of the research which demonstrates the power of Dru yoga techniques for improving wellbeing - physically and mentally.
A pilot study at Bangor University indicated that a yoga-based stretching and strengthening programme significantly reduced back pain and stress. Here's just some of the numbers from university research into the effectiveness of Dru Yoga:
| Area of wellbeing | Increase |
| More composed - less anxious | 120% |
| More clear-minded - less confused | 500% |
| More elated - less depressed | 240% |
| More energised - less tired | 270% |
| More agreeable - less hostile | 100% |
| More confident - less unsure | 210% |
| Life purpose and satisfaction | 330% |
| Self confidence during stress | 650% |
