Dru Yoga is a graceful and potent form of yoga, based on soft flowing movements, directed breathing and visualisation. Dru yoga is designed to be practised by people of all abilities, all fitness levels and all age groups. It improves the whole body and mind by increasing strength, flexibility and core stability. Students leave rejuvenated with a heightened feeling of positivity after experiencing deep states of relaxation.

The word ‘Dru’ can be translated from Sanskrit as 'north star' and represents our 'inner still-point’. We can find this still point within ourselves through practical tools that are accessed during a Dru class. We all experience stress on many levels. Physical stress can present as tension headaches or sore muscles and joints. Emotional stress can present as feeling depressed, anxious or overwhelmed. Mental stress can present itself as a lack of concentration or feeling confused. Dru yoga helps to alleviate stress, complete the stress cycle, release tension and tiredness by working on all these levels. There are four main energetic principles in a Dru yoga class. We focus on a flowing and healthy spine, postures as sequences, flexible and soft joints and the use of Energy Block Release sequences or EBR’s.

This helps us to identify and experience mindfulness, rejuvenation, strength, relaxation and see the world through a kind hearted lens. Keep in mind that energy flows where awareness goes. We usually start each Dru class with an activation. This helps us to shake the worries of the day away and ground ourselves in our bodies while enhancing circulation, energy flow and of course while having fun. The four main principles really come into their own during Energy Block Release sequences. These movements do so much more than release tension in the physical body, we also experience energetic (sensorial), emotional and mental release during EBR as we unblock energy and unwind the mind. Inner wisdom and inner stillness can be found during the deep relaxation component of a Dru class.

As we tense and release each part of the body, focus on our breathing, affirm and visualise then come to stillness our whole selves rejuvenate, reenergise and release our inner power. In order to be balanced physically, energetically, emotionally and mentally we ask that you lightly engage your core, keep your joints unlocked, breathe and meet your body where it is with no strain and no pain. Respect and be kind to everyone in the class, including yourself.
