What will I learn?

These deeply nurturing 2 days aim to give you that marvellous feeling of inner stability. The feeling of 'ahh... now I feel like I've come home.'

It will be live-streamed to you, hosted by Chandra Goswami, Christiane Saar and team.

You'll explore our instant awakeners which call 'activations' - as well as unique Energy Block Release sequences. With these you'll learn to quickly clear tiredness and stress, freeing your physical joints and muscles while also reclaiming a free-flow of energy throughout your body.

Our uniquely taught Dru movement sequences will help you craft your body and mind into exactly the state you'd like it - enabling you to heal old hurts and awaken new strengths.

We'll touch depths of stillness and empowerment with nourishing meditations, which are easy for even the most turbulent minds after our profound yoga experiences.

We'll also guide you through everyone's favourite: remarkably deep relaxations..

The aim of the weekend is to help you feel back in control of your health, alive in your emotions and wise in your mind.

It's a rare opportunity to have such a nourishing weekend. You deserve it!

Programme

Instant Awakeners

Activate your vital life force (or prana) and wake up all your lymphatic, circulatory and respiratory systems. Start to oxygenate your cells and decompress your organs.

Tip: stand squarely on your feet and bounce gently on your heels for 1 minute. Masai warriors do this to release fear from the kidneys.

Building Strength & Confidence

Connect with your power and stand in your strength. If you’ve ever given your power away to someone or a situation, this will pull it bring back to you.

Tip: Stand with your feet in a comfortable wide stance, with your arms outstretched above you. Feel victorious and confident. Hold this posture for 1-2 minutes and notice the difference in how you feel.

Discovering Breath & Balance

We all have 3 brains – surprise! Awaken your gut, heart and head. Once synchronised with movement and breath in a systematic way will enable you to focus, be open and make the right decisions for yourself.

Tip: Breathe in and cross your wrists in front of your body. Then stretch your arms up and out. Breathe out as your arms come down either side of you. Relax and repeat a few times.

Easing into Peace

Did you know that the first two hours of sleep are just your body trying to relax? So- if you learn how to activate your parasympathetic nervous system (vagal toning) it can help improve digestion, reduces inflammation, balances blood pressure and improves sleep! A natural antidote to stress.

Tip: Lie down and bring your body into a fully relaxed state. Breathe deeply expanding the abdomen. You can place your hands on the navel region and observe the expansion and relaxation of the abdomen.

FREE TRIAL

Here is a perfect example of how Dru works.

Let go of habits that are holding you back and replace them with new, dynamic and empowering ones.

Join Andrew, as he takes you through a series of movements, combined with mental and emotional focus that will enable you to let go of any unwanted habits that may be tripping you up as you walk the road of life.
  
Emotions, negative thoughts and habits are often held in the physical body. To dissolve long term habits we must withdraw our energy and focus from that habit. One powerful technique is to combine movement and intention to transform and free energy blockages, and replace the old thought patterns with new and invigorated, fresh ways of thinking!

The spirituality of yoga course and the sangha that followed have really helped me establish a daily meditation practice and have helped me grow in self-confidence and feel more connected with myself.

Dru Ayurveda & Yoga workshop:- A thoroughly enjoyable day, enlightening me to how I can work on my health and happiness with minimal effort - great for a kapha type!

My experience of The Spirituality of Yoga Course was amazing. The tutors were so warm and friendly and made the content really accessible. The course was extremely well-planned and built up step by step. As it was quite intensive, I think if you were new to yoga and meditation you might have needed a longer time between sessions for absorbing and practising. However, as we were able to download the sessions (a wonderful gift), there is plenty of time for replaying and reinforcing the learning. I enjoyed every minute of the course and am very grateful that I had the opportunity to take part.
