Your experiences

nurse, Truro, Cornwall, UK
The workshop had a lovely atmosphere. I liked that we are encouraged to work within our personal limits and not over-push ourselves. Kind and gentle vibes. I particularly liked Padma's pear tree as so new and different. The workshop was well organised. A lovely focus on relaxation and breaking down postures into little bite size pieces. All the teachers had their own stye that worked positively to create a positive whole experience.

When I signed up for the Spirituality of Yoga Online course, I had no idea how much my life would change in little under a month. And what's more, I know, without a shadow of a doubt, that this change, this growth, is sustainable. There can be no going back, only forwards, as I work to anchor the knowledge and wisdom so lovingly provided in these teachings, feeling deeply supported and held by the community created during these weeks. I feel for the first time in my life I really know, on a very deep level, the power of a shared commitment to Spirituality.

What I'll take from the postgrad workshop today:- I loved the way this flowed from information and reflection to practical yoga practice (and back again). it was a very satisfying day on every level, physical, mental and emotional. Thank you so much.

Amazing weekend of yoga, walking and meditation. Such a beautiful place full of amazing people. Staff are very helpful and supportive and the food is superb. Would highly recommend a visit.

I have benefitted totally from taking part in the Spirituality of Yoga Course, particularly online, so that more people can take part, no travel, and connection wherever we are in the world. I love having the videos so that I can recreate the experience myself. I'm excited to be part of a sangha and look forward to continuing over the next year. I'd really love little 20 minute live reminders of the practices through facebook so we can continue most mornings or whenever we can, together all over the World, like we did in the 5 day challenge, then I can have bite sized reminders to use daily. Thank you all the team, so much, for making this accessible to me.

It's a course for life; for living. It's not work, but it requires the highest personal effort, but the gift is beyond your wildest imaginings. You can be your best self and the support you will find around you will enable this. Laughter, truth, honesty, love and balance. Just do it, it's a beautiful experience.
Susan Hardwick
Dru Teacher, Nottingham
The course has helped me to understand the ‘nuts and bolts’ of how Dru yoga works. I feel that it has been great for self-development and identification. It has help me progress in future learning and further development. I also feel the course has inspired my teaching by bringing in more koshic awareness.

The Dru Youth courses have completely changed my life over the years I’ve come. They’ve given me the tools I need to stay positive, grounded, and handle life in ways I would never have been able to without it.

An expanding experience of the body and mind. A really special & beautiful place to be a part of. Meeting lots of new people, though from very different backgrounds but all wanting to explore further/increase their knowledge of Dru yoga & its various elements and also those who make Dru principles their lives and want to help others enhance their lives.

A relaxing and friendly atmosphere, nothings too much trouble. The experience allows you to develop but also give something back. The retreat gives you tasters of all different things: Yoga, Meditation, relaxation, chanting, good food, new skills. Loved the location and the friendship

The Spirituality of Yoga helped me to focus what is important to me in my life right now. My heart knows the path I wish to follow. With the practices I felt my distractions melt away and I felt myself expanding consciously. Exactly what I was looking for.

Lovely pace. Plenty of time to explore posture, discuss the philosophy and subtle energies and chat with other yoga teachers. Really enjoyed it.

You make friends with all the different types of people who will last a lifetime, and have experiences and memories which you will remember forever. It was honestly the best time I could have had with me being so open

Dru yoga teacher. Otley, Leeds, UK
I loved the Spirituality of Yoga course. It’s packed with information, advice and practices. I have enough material to practice for so very long time. It was delivered by top class tutors, in a very kind, caring way. It was very obvious that they had the students interest in mind, and the depth of their knowledge and wisdom is invaluable. I love the fact that people’s differences are acknowledged and respected, and they kindly guide you to practice that which will be beneficial for you at one moment in time. The group discussions are filled with compassion and respect for everyone’s experiences. I have been experiencing the benefits of the different practices in all areas of my life. I feel I have already gained inner strength, confidence and clarity and, most importantly for me, the effects seem to have rippled to the people around me. My relationship with my family feels more harmonious (quite a win considering we are in lockdown). I look forward to continuing exploring and practicing, and participate in the Sangha. Thank you very much Dru for being such a real, no nonsense team!

Having recently had open heart surgery I was hesitant to as to what yoga I could do. Dru has just proved to me that it is accessible to all. Thank you

Nice sociable, friendly day. Great mix of activity and relaxation - positive atmosphere. I enjoyed all aspects. Hope I can remember some things to add to my yoga practice. The workshop was well organised and planned - all running very smoothly. All teachers very enthusiastic, confident and reassuring.

There was lots of variation, some easy, some more challenging. Lots of explanation about how to move and the theory behind the moves. I love to know stuff :).

Pilates and Dru Yoga teacher, Isle of Wight
This Spirituality of Yoga has been an amazing experience for me, it has brought me back to my authentic self, helped me to realise that I need connection with nature (even when it's raining!) I have found such a sense of calmness and groundness, with the meditation practice, discovered that I need to value and trust myself. I know this is just the beginning of my journey and still have a lot to learn, but so looking forward to the ongoing journey with the support and encouragement of the wonderful Dru team!

Thank you all so much for this! What a precious gift this has been.
Connecting in with teachers and fellow Dru yogis around the world is always a great joy.
Following the videos and working on the meditations has been everything I have needed this week.
I am opening my classes again here in Norway after having been closed since 12th March.
So a very special time indeed.
I feel so blessed - belonging to this community, doing this work, bringing positive change to the world.

The Algarve retreat touched me deeply, from the inspiring sessions, yoga, meditation, walks and the wonderful friends I made. I felt connected to a new beginning and a clear path opened up to follow through this year and beyond

I thoroughly enjoyed the 3 sessions of the Spirituality of Yoga course, reconnecting with Dru after a very long break away. Every session flowed seamlessly and offered something for everyone, wherever they are on their journey. There was so much to take in, I’ve downloaded all the sessions and am starting again. I notice subtleties that I missed on the live sessions. I would recommend this course to anyone who seeks to deepen their understanding of spirituality in a gentle and encouraging way. Many thanks to the wonderful Dru team.

Excellent masterclass at a lovely venue. I've wanted to learn EBR8 for a long time. It was well worth it and I've enjoyed catching up with friends and colleagues.
