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 :).

Dru Yoga is enjoyable and fun - puts a smile on your face. After the workshop, I felt full of energy and emotionally in harmony. It was great to connect with so many lovely people.

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.

On the 5 day spirituality challenge leading up to this course, I realised I did not love myself. Since starting on the Spirituality of Yoga course and working with the practices, I have experienced a deep cellular healing, a shifting in my emotions, deepening into a sense of peace and quiet control/flow of life.
I have had so many realisations on this course; one in particular was a feeling of falling in love with my practice...and wondering if this could lead to an unconditional love commitment to myself to uphold a deeper consistent practice?....
Another insight was a deep self acceptance of where I am at now, giving myself permission to listen to my inner promptings and act on them; rather than see myself as failing when I don't meet my rigid expectations. A bit of freedom..
This course is a must for any spiritual seeker who is looking to deeply anchor and regularly maintain their spiritual practice. You will never look back as you create your own spiritual unfoldment and community to support and carry you forwards. I so look forward to our continuing journey. Thank you to all our Tutors for their sincere, joyful and ongoing commitment to helping us achieve spiritual greatness.

Thanks so much for such a wonderful weekend. I really enjoyed connecting with you all again.
I know a lot about the topics discussed but hearing them spoken about with such passion by a group of experts really helped to clarify a number of points I was not completely sure about. I found it very motivating and gave me a greater understanding of why I need to do certain practices. I do most of the practices already so I don't really need to add anything. I would like to know more about the herbs that might be useful for me specifically but I would need a personal consultation for that.
Thank you for such an information packed and motivating weekend. I am looking forward to looking all the materials in the course.

The Spirituality of Yoga course allowed me to connect back in with my self at a time when the external world had become very challenging and uncertain. Through the various tools and teachings from the course, It reminded me of the strength that lies within and the stillness that is there. This benefited me on a individual level but also my family and my colleagues and clients as I was able to share a sense of clarity and calmness back into the workplace.

The Algarve retreat touched me deeply, from the inspiring sessions, yoga, meditation, walks and the wonderful friends I made. I felt connected to a new beginning and a clear path opened up to follow through this year and beyond
Gaynor
Scientist, Coventry
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.

Thanks to all the Dru team for such a wonderful 3 weeks on the Spirituality of Yoga course. I thank you with so much gratitude for the knowledge and wisdom shared by all teachers. To feel the richness of the love and support was quite profound. Finding your inner peace and stillness is your natural state and this course gave you the tools through yoga, meditation, mantra and nature to help with your spiritual quest. It was also so beautiful to be part of a community from all over the world with people of like mind who want to make a difference on our amazing earth. Namaste.

Dru Yoga teacher, Dorset
Meeting up with fellow Dru Yoga teachers in the Southwest, I feel really inspired and confident about my teaching again. It is always good to meet up with other yogis to share yoga and chat.
Kath
Derby, Dru Yoga teacher
Dru Dance is a special gift for yourself to nourish and nurture your own practice as a teacher which is often overloaded or neglected when you teach others. I’m looking forward to sharing Dru Dance with students in masterclasses and workshops
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.

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.
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.

What I'll take from this postgrad yoga workshop today:- integration of movement and emotions and the affirmations. Also developing asana work at a different pace.

I enjoyed trying different sessions during the day. I feel relaxed and content, open and calm!! Thank you.
Carolyn Bennett
Dru Teacher, Bristol
Participating in the course has helped me to go deeper and experience things about myself that I have not experienced before. It brought up emotions and has enabled me to find tools that help me to deal with them. I am a lot more confident in everything I do; I feel comfortable with myself, my life and now find that I am able to deal with everything which comes my way. My language has developed and I now feel confident to use words to try and take my students into experiencing all kosha levels.

The Spirituality of Yoga Course
This was a coming home to the beauty of Dru. The energy, commit and pure love of the Dru team is such an inspiration. Not only a powerful heart opening course, grounded in sound solid practices but also surrounded by so much support with Facebook / Instagram posts from front line team and participant group and so much more web ‘lockdown” support. The Dru team both seen and unseen have worked so hard to but this life changing program into action in a very short time and with a no doubt very steep technical learning curve to climb. I wondered how it would feel at an energetic level to participate in an online course, but wow it was also as good as being at Snowdon Lodge (Well OK it a shame Jalaram couldn’t be downstairs to make us lovely lunches!). Dru you guys are AMAZING.... Thank you Thank you Thank you.

When I first saw the dance demo I didn’t believe I would be able to completely achieve it. My sense of achievement at having completed it has made me feel that I can now accomplish anything I set my mind to in my life. Break it down, repeat it and glue it together
