“An opportunity to connect with the very essence of yoga and meditation in a subtle way. Much more than a retreat it has renewed my belief in myself. Thanks.”
Palvinder Kaur
Social worker, Bradford & Dewsbury
There is a greater understanding and a deeper awareness of the essence of Dru Yoga and how it deeply touches and embraces you to align yourself to the truth with you/the higher divine within you.
I think it has brought me to a place of acceptance of myself because I have gained a deeper understanding of myself. I think I’m on the path of aligning myself to the divine within.
Also, I think this course has developed me as a teacher tenfold. I now have more understanding of my students and I am able to give them the opportunity to explore themselves in their practice.

This course has been an amazing adventure. Teachers with wide spectrum of qualities, bringing you into guided meditations, breathing, asanas and EBRs. A 14-day journey to inner peace, letting go and allowing to transform. The most beautiful gift you can give to yourself. Thank you Dru!

The experience of Dru Dance takes your Dru practice to another level: It’s exhilarating to feel the energy flow throughout a beautifully composed dance. It’s also great to get some deeper theoretical background which enables you to experience the dance on the different Kosha levels

I have found a new inner strength that I thought I had lost forever, a renewed sense of confidence in myself, and a joy in life, in nature, in the ‘little’ things. I know when things get tough I will be fine. I can find a quiet and safe haven inside myself which is there always.

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

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.

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.

Ruth Matthew
Dru Yoga teacher, Aberdeen
I was really delighted to be the recipient of the most wonderful Ayurveda massage while staying at the Lodge. I had travelled for hours from the north-east of Scotland, so my body was tired and I felt very ungrounded. Sandra gave me the most nurturing massage, which allowed me to rest very deeply and to sleep soundly afterwards. It was a little bit of heaven given by a very caring and attentive therapist. The room and the towels were warm and cosy and the smell of the oils divine. I felt very balanced and peaceful the next day. Thank you.

Dru Yoga is so gentle and flowing with no forced movement; my body always feels so much better after practising.

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.
Nikki Martin
Nurse, Cornwall, UK
Lovely pace. Plenty of time to explore posture, discuss the philosophy and subtle energies and chat with other yoga teachers. Really enjoyed it.
Dr Melanie Jones PhD
Therapist / Yoga Teacher, Aberdeenshire
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.

I really enjoyed the {Dru Yoga & Ayurvedic Cookery} workshop. It had a nice balance of yoga movement, relaxation and meditation/concentration that was not too challenging for a novice like me. The cookery demonstration was great fun and the food was delicious. Also everyone was friendly and the venue was good too. Thanks for a lovely day.
Claire Phillipson
Dru Yoga Teacher, Derbyshire
The decision to join the Spirituality of Yoga course came to me unexpectedly and after some hesitation. I'm so thankful that I did!
The practices have affected me, some very deeply, in a way that feels more certain and deep than anything else I've done; awakening new awareness but also drawing me back to long held understandings that had slipped from my life. Most of all, at this time in my life, in the world, it has helped to experience deep stillness and steadiness, with a renewed compassion for my self as well as others.
On a practical level, the online course fits in easily with daily life, with a balance of learning, practice and space to absorb one thing before moving on. The videos are all there to go over as many times as needed - and also to return to the energy of the live sessions.
The support throughout is amazing, steady, generous and infused with love, joy and a lot of laughter! It's been wonderful to feel closer to our amazing tutors and the wider community on the course. I know this is another step in a lifelong process and I'm looking forward to the next stage of the journey....Thank you Dru!x

Through the Youth Course I realised that there is a different life than what we live, and that’s the life that I want to live. I’ll definitely be back next year.

“When you bring together a group of people who perhaps do not know each other very well and within a week they are able to dance together in joy… it must be worth a look.”

Having come to the end of the Spirituality of Yoga adventure I am looking forward to taking this further. It was a truly beautiful experience shared with and offered by such open souls. We attuned with nature, nourished ourselves with uplifting yoga and meditation and were offered wisdom to weave into our daily lives. We met as like minded friends to discuss our practice devoting ourselves to explore our spiritual path. Thank you Dru I am so glad to be part of this journey.

Learning that stillness isn’t a scary place to be. Learning to bring balance into your life makes a huge difference.
Fiona Thorne

I didn't know what to expect from this course but found that it fitted me perfectly. Although I love coming up to Wales, having the sessions in the comfort of my own home with the videos to watch again and again was a great substitute. Just a shame I can't get anyone to cook all the wonderful vegetarian food for me!
I loved the outside session with Annie and Radha and I particularly liked Andrew's meditations, I managed to ground myself deeper than I ever have before. The tutor groups were really good and I like being part of a sangha! I think it would be great if you offered some courses like this in future, when everything has sorted itself out, it was amazing that you had people from all over the world joining in
