The course has been so inspiring to me as an individual who was simply interested in yoga at the beginning. I have learned so much from the tutors and my peers and hope to share my learnings with lots of other people in my classes. The depth of the experience has been immense and has developed my passion for yoga philosophy and has made me want to learn so much more - consequently have signed up for my next course already.

Karina
Family Nurse, Bolton
Since starting Dru I feel I have developed a stronger sense of ‘Self’. In everything I try to do to develop myself I am slowly seeing changes also in those I have close contact with. I feel I am calmer and focus on self care- family and work colleagues are beginning to join me
Marion Gerritsen
Yoga Teacher, Netherlands
My experience of the Spirituality of Yoga course is that it reminds me of who I am. By remembering. By the examples of the teachers. In a way profound and simple at the same time. Also joyful and deep. It helped me to ease and to be more conscious during the day. About my thoughts, feelings, good etc. A kind of reset and go on again. I am grateful for that and it helps me to trust my inner life/voice more and more.
Yvonne
Staff Nurse, Port Talbot
I love the way the tutors introduce us to the energy body and the chakras when teaching the asanas. I feel as I have used the EBRs, asanas and relaxation over the last few months that I have changed as a person. I feel more confident and more in touch with my true self. It is a lovely journey.

I have just completed session 1 of the Swadharma Dru Dance Course and I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the dance. I already feel that I have started to develop some muscle memory and connection with the spirit of the dance. So well done, great teaching. Also great design of a very relevant and creative practice utilising ancient wisdom and symbology to open awareness of Swadharma. Perfectly right for me at this time.
Thank you and I am looking forward to the next sessions enthusiastically.
Jordan Scotney
Dru Yoga teacher and musician
Dru Yoga has positively changed my life in all areas. I used to have some sort of block, a kind of disconnect with life. Now everything just flows and I can connect with life on a deeper level.

It is the best BWY event I have been on.
Sonia

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.

Dru Ayurveda & Yoga workshop:- A magical mixture! Treat yourself - heal yourself naturally.
GW
Retired, Ivybridge, Devon, UK
The workshop was warm, friendly, very interesting and mind altering. It was all inclusive, encouraging and well put together.
Kaye Wensor
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!

Having attended classes for over a year it was really good to have a taster of a longer session and different poses, breathing techniques. Felt very centred.
Cheryl Wright
Dru Yoga teacher. Renfrewshire UK
As a recently trained dru yoga teacher I had built up my own daily practice at home greatly influenced by what I had learned on the course and what I felt worked for me. During the DYTT course I was particularly affected by the philosophy assignment based on the spiritual texts which really made me think about how I was living my life and what lessons I could learn from the ancient wisdom. I also felt as if my spiritual self had been lying dormant and was reawakened. This has had a positive impact on my life though I know I have more work to do. It had been so good to be part of a group from all different walks of life and age groups who came together because of their experience of Dru. The spirituality of yoga course has given me a similar feeling of connection and an opportunity to fine tune my learning and to focus afresh on the benefits of relaxation and meditation. Having already established my sacred space, I have expanded on that and taken it into my garden as well. I have rediscovered the pleasure of doing my practice in the garden and simply lying on my mat and contemplating the sky above me. In lockdown I have the time to journal, to think, to question, to do. Working as part of a group through the zoom sessions allows us to share our experiences, to reflect, to ask questions and to benefit from the insight of questions other people ask. It is a blessing to feel the empathy of others and feel secure within a group of like minded people, all seekers on a path to finding our best selves. Having a shared purpose helps us to keep practising and exploring the possibilities. I'm very happy to have this opportunity to continue on my spiritual journey.
Dawn Marsh
Dru yoga and Meditation teacher. South Australia
Spirituality of Yoga Course
I’m on zoom calls and meetings all day long so at first I was quite hesitant to attend another online experience, but I’m so glad I joined. This isn’t your normal technology driven experience, this is a well thought out, professionally presented course that leaves you feeling like you were right there in front of the team. It’s engaging, thought provoking and fun... definitely not anything like a work meeting. It was absolutely worth attending.
Kate Jones
Teacher, Cornwall
The main aspect of the course that I have learnt from the tutors is that 'I can do it!' Dru Yoga is for everyone, including me! There are a wide variety of teachers and Dru can find the teacher in everyone. It has also taught me self-love. This is something that I will carry forwards and always hold onto.
Debra Mann
yoga teacher, Hampshire
What I'll take away from today's postgrad workshop:- sharing with other yoga teachers from other yoga schools of yoga. Great explanation of the koshas and I'll add Salutation to the 4 Directions to my lessons.
Ada Giaquinto
New South Wales, Australia
The Spirituality of Yoga course was an inspiring programme that helped to reinvigorate my yoga and meditation practice. I loved feeling connected with the senior tutors and spiritual seekers worldwide. As I live in Australia, going to Wales for a spiritual retreat is a wonderful idea and not always practical ... so an online spiritual retreat is the next best thing! It was an awesome experience and I look forward to connecting with the Sangha over the coming year.

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.
Lucy Cleary
Yoga Teacher and Yoga Therapist, Bolton
I found this Spirituality of Yoga course so helpful. It was a real treat during this strange time in our world to be able to take my focus deeper inwards. Each aspect of the course was very well thought-out and taught. The knowledge and personal experience of each of the tutors shone through, and for me this is what made the course so special.
I have been left with a personal practice that gives me a deeper sense of connection to the world around me, that helps me to feel more accepting of myself, that gives me more resilience for when things are hard, that is helping me to learn to trust myself - and that is helping me to go out into the world and put that love and knowledge into action, to make a difference.
