After coming here and being with so many brilliant and bright people, it’s more like coming home, than a holiday or break.

Spirituality of Yoga Course
With the technology available to us to be able to be watch live and then be able to review it all at your leisure followed up by the tutorials was a very nurturing way to learn. Many thanks to all involved for such a wonderful experience

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.

This course came as a support at a difficult time, spiritually, for me. The Spirituality of Yoga Course provided focus, a structure to move forward, and showed me some of the jewels of spiritual practice that will stand me in good stead for years to come. Thank you.

If I could tell myself one thing when I started the course, it would be to Believe. To believe in me, in the training, in the higher goal. The course has given me confidence in myself and shown me that I know more than I think, and am more capable than I ever thought. Inspiring individual both tutors and students have given such support to me and it has been truly a life changing experience.

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.

The Spirituality of Yoga Course was beautifully balanced and life affirming. I now feel a strong connection with the earth and grounded for the first time in my 60 something years! A good starting place for the onward journey. Thank you all.
Kim Kinsella
Therapist and Dru Yoga teacher, Richmond, UK
This course has taken EBR 1 to a completely different level of understanding alignment of the energy centres. The deep relaxation techniques and sitting techniques will be beneficial to my students in preparation for meditation. The stories are really inspiring.
I took the Dru Meditation online course for my personal development and have found it easier to include meditation into my daily yoga practice now. I have so enjoyed it that I would like to take the Meditation teacher training course.
Chris Murray
Staffordshire
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.

Burwood East, Australia, Reiki Master
Joining the Online Dru Yoga community has been an excellent decision on my part, & I cannot wait to try so many of the routines & meditations that I receive. I am well into the ones I have already, & can feel the benefits while I am actually doing them - even for the first time.
I have an amazing teacher in Emmeline Fooks, with whom I have lessons twice per week. We continued with our program even through the very long lockdown we had in Melbourne & my times with her were the highlights of my week. They still are as I await my next lesson today.
Thank you again for your wonderful Dru Yoga in all its forms - it fits me like a glove!
Ingveld
Norway
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.

Great to re-connect with yoga through flowing sequences; energising at same time as being relaxing and nurturing.
Jane
Dru Teacher, Stone
It has deepened my practice and has also given me ideas about the way I practice; the notes of freedom. Ever since taking the course, I have really begun to understand some elements of myself that I knew I needed to work on – I suppose I have become more aware.
In many ways, the course encouraged me to develop and think about key words to use in class and to incorporate more than just the ‘physical experience of yoga’.
Paula Sutton
Estate agent, Plymouth, Devon, UK
I really enjoyed being amongst like-minded yogis. I enjoyed the moving posture work as it's not often I do postures I tend to do EBR[s or sequence work. I enjoyed the sequence this afternoon. I absolutely love all of these workshops and they keep me connected, both with new yogis and in my own body and mind. There was. very good mix of exercises, things to think bout and contributing verbally.
Rachael Baker-Searle
Dru Yoga teacher, Oxford
I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop. I felt reconnected and restored. It was an amazing Dru experience.
Charlotte May
The course has developed my knowledge of the koshas and has given me a practical step by step method for incorporating this into my practice (which has changed phenomenally)!
Ainsley Harriom
Chef and Yogi
The Dru Course offers a complete package— regular retreats, personal development, structure for your practice at home, skills to teach and practical ways to give back to the world.
WD
Dru Yoga teacher , Totnes, Devon, UK
What I enjoyed about this workshop was the dynamic relaxation - so relaxing I fell asleep! I liked the vitality sequence and useful explanations of the koshas. The workshop planning and presentation was of a high standard. Excellent balance of sessions. Thanks to all involved.

Dru is truly holistic yoga for everybody. You have everything to gain and nothing to lose by doing Dru. Dru people are just the best!
Michelle Marcuzzo
Administrative Assistant & Dru Yoga Teacher, Australia
My experience of the Spirituality of Yoga course was that it was truly amazing! Teachers of Dru and students alike, can really gain from the support and wisdom of this beautiful course. It reminds us gently and realistically, of all of that we can aspire to and how to achieve it within our daily 'sadhana' setting, so that we can be 'true to ourselves', whilst offering more to others. The extra support and guidance offered, before, during and after the course, if required, makes it even more remarkable. I found it to be a wonderful course to do, particularly during these most challenging times. I would recommend it to everyone.

Kirsty Elliot
Yoga teacher, Wiltshire
As a yoga teacher, this course has taken my practice to a level I didn't even know existed!! It has shown me my true path in life and shone a light on it. The course has helped me incredibly in every way by taking classes to a different level and has given me the pathway to connect to people's souls.

I really enjoyed my first experience of Dru Yoga, the asanas, pranayama and relaxation experienced. Thank you Imogen and Anne.
