Alison Hayward
Dru yoga teacher. Devon
The Spirituality of Yoga course has been particularly helpful to me in anchoring my morning wellbeing practice. I had already started doing a short morning walk in nature, but this now involves me walking barefoot on the grass for part of my walk, and being able to do some yoga outdoors in what has become my sacred space. This has lifted my mood and I find that I am in a more contented state than previously. Even if there are just little things that I might do some days, such as lighting the candle before I do my practice, selecting a vision card and pausing at odd moments through the day, these small actions are very beneficial and enable me to be not so hard on myself. I am steadily reviewing the videos but not rushing this process as it takes time for these practices to be understood and appreciated. Having the ability to watch the sessions repeatedly is tremendously helpful in embedding the learning. I am enjoying the process of this learning, knowing that I can approach this in a relaxed way and pick out a different session each week or so to review and practice. I have appreciated the structure of this course being over 3 weeks, where we were able to practice the learning from each session in-between. It has avoided feelings of being overwhelmed with the amount of content and therefore not really taking anything in because I don't know where to start. There is much more for me to do with the practice that we have been introduced to and this will take some time and it will require some courage and exploration outside my comfort zone, but that is ok. I know that I can seek help with this as and when I need to.

Health Coach, Prague
This course teaches yoga which everyone can do at all levels and stages so it’s really accessible. The teachers are real pros and have amazing experience to back up the knowledge. My personal practice has improved a lot, so has my memory, concentration, calmness and alertness. I also made very strong friendships with like-minded people.
Marianne Wootton
Marine biologist, Torpoint, Cornwall, UK
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 :).
Anne
Health food shop manager, Somerset
Taking part in the course has added Kosha awareness and improved my language to explain and explore yoga. It has deepened my spiritual awareness and provided me with tools to develop my skills with healing.
Alison Hayward
Local Government, Devon
A wonderful way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Taking time out from busy schedules and just pausing to take care of myself and be in the moment. I feel very calm and centred.
Sonia
York
The teaching/learning has been fantastic, however there have been many other benefits on a more personal level that I hadn’t expected. Being immersed in yoga, with wonderful people in a beautiful setting has allowed me to ground myself, reflect and focus. Thank you and I can’t wait for module 2.

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
Natasha Selby
Dru Yoga teacher & complimentary therapist
What I'll take from today's yoga postgrad workshop:- My favourite part was the Salutation to the 4 Directions. I love doing and teaching this already, but really enjoyed using colour and affirmations within the sequence.
Maureen

I enjoyed the whole experience of the Karma Yoga retreat. Great programme for volunteers. I felt appreciated for work done. Felt that everyone worked as a team. Teachers on yoga retreat were great teachers.The venue is stunning. I felt refreshed and inspired to come again to Karma Yoga retreat in near future. I am considering going on Foundation course and possibly teacher training course
Sue
IT manager, Wolverhampton
It has inspired me to be more disciplined with my practice and in addition, to think more deeply about its effect on me at all levels; I’ve learnt so much! The course has also enabled me to continue the process of unwinding, freeing up and reaching out to life!
I have gained more knowledge – I feel more confident. It’s given me a much wider vocabulary to take students into other koshas, to vary my teaching and experiment more.
Sally Hesling
Truro, Cornwall
Lovely teachers and lovely practices.
Kate Jones
Teacher, Cornwall
We had a really great day yesterday. The mixture of yoga, relaxation, cooking demonstrations and eating was just right. It has left me wanting to know more about doshas and how yoga and food can balance someone. We also loved the partner poses, beautiful and fun.
Fliss
HR Manager, Holloway
Learning that stillness isn’t a scary place to be. Learning to bring balance into your life makes a huge difference.
Charlotte Jackson

This Spirituality of Yoga course brought me back to my deeper self, and allowed me to feel entirely connected. Not only to those in this Sangha, but also to nature, consciousness, all people and living things. The sequences brought through some profound wisdom and old patterns that I needed to change. I loved the format and the frequency of attendance. Such a gorgeous blessing to have come out of an isolated lockdown situation. I’m looking forward to the next chapter, it has relit my fire for sacred texts and other aspects I have allowed to slip. I feel I am now deeply back on the path I have always meant to be on, and as a result my life feels much richer.

If you’re thinking of doing the teacher training course, just go for it! It’s brilliant for yourself and a great way to help others
Sarah Brown
Yoga teacher, Gloucester
You will learn more than you could imagine - about yoga postures, philosophy, anatomy & physiology, yourself and the relationship you have with yourself, the world and others - and so much more. The course is really well structured and balanced across different areas of teaching. The whole of the teaching team are totally amazing - supportive, full of wisdom and knowledge and I feel really grateful for the last couple of years. The course will go quicker than you think - make the most of this opportunity. Thank you!

I liked the warm-up - the twist, my era! It was a good venue; comfortable and nice choice of refreshments. The workshop was lovely, gentle and supportive. Reaffirms why I love yoga.

Leisa Edwards
Yoga teacher, actress/performer and author, North Wales
My experience of the Spirituality of Yoga Course was immensely positive - it couldn't have come at a more perfect time. The live sessions/teachings were so uplifting and authentic. The depth of the tutor's knowledge and experience steered and navigated us with immense skill and care over the 3 weeks and I truly felt 'held' and supported each step of the way. The sense of community and connection created made me feel that I belong and that I'm not alone. This course is fuelled with years, decades of personal experience and knowledge/wisdom and I felt privileged to be a part of this sharing and this coming together. For anyone that feels 'lost' out there, I would urge you to reach out and welcome this amazing experience with open arms.
Chris Murray

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.

Dru Yoga will inspire you in ways you had never imagined. What you learn will transfer easily to your daily life.
Pam Cotgreave
Teacher, Truro, Cornwall
However long you have been practicing yoga, this was different and very thoughtful - although previous experience helped. The dance session had a beautiful flow - it almost breathed.
Linda Griffiths

I wasn't sure what to expect from the Spirituality of Yoga course, but so far it has surpassed anything I could have imagined, I've always been in touch with nature but this course has given it an added dimension, I'm beginning to feel more at peace with myself and I'm looking forward to the rest of the journey
Janet
IT Consultant, High Wycomb
The training is about so much more than the asanas, it is very holistic. The pace is at the right level, every asana is refreshed so you get the opporunity to learn how to do it correctly.
Michelle

After completing the first module, I have been given the most amazing insight of how unique Dru Yoga is. I feel excited, inspired and cannot wait to learn more, the way the course is put together and paced is very well thought out, the course materials and the staff are amazing and supportive.
