In order to see what is really going on within us, we need to examine our mind and experiences from a place of stillness.
In this stillness, we can observe our thoughts, emotions, and sensations without judgment or attachment. Through the practice of yoga, we cultivate this stillness and develop a deeper self-awareness. Yoga encourages us to listen to our bodies and honour our limitations, fostering a sense of self-compassion and acceptance.
It teaches us to find balance in our lives, both on and off the mat. As we continue our yoga journey, we may experience physical benefits such as improved flexibility, strength, and posture. We may also notice an increase in energy levels and a decrease in physical discomfort. The mental benefits of yoga are equally important, including reduced anxiety, enhanced focus, and improved sleep quality.
If an inexhaustible treasure were buried in the ground beneath a poor mans house, the man would not know of it, and the treasure would not speak and tell him, “I am here!” Maitreya
Buddha once shared this metaphor to illustrate that true happiness and enlightenment are within us, but we often fail to recognise them. Similarly, yoga teaches us to uncover the treasures within ourselves by exploring our inner world through physical movement, breathwork, meditation, and self-reflection.
As we continue our yoga practice, we may encounter challenges and obstacles. However, these difficulties serve as opportunities for growth and transformation. With dedication and perseverance, we can cultivate resilience and tap into our inner strength. Yoga reminds us that we are capable of overcoming challenges and finding peace amidst chaos.
Yoga is not just an individual practice; it is also a way to connect with others and build a supportive community.
Dru yoga is a heart centred, flowing form of yoga that originates from Hatha Yoga. It's unique energy block release sequences are designed to free the body from top to toe, physically and energetically, releasing tensions, increasing strength & vitality. Dru lends itself to almost everyone by teaching yoga in simple stages that enable beginners to achieve postures that otherwise could prove to be unreachable. We use visualisation as well as affirmations to enhance the positive effects the physical movements achieve. Our relaxation takes you through 4 stages that allows you to relax & rejuvenate deeply.
Unique Benefits
Joints are kept relaxed and soft during movement (as in tai chi). Thiscreates flexibility and a free flow of subtle energy.

In Dru Yoga all movements originate from the spine because a flexible, healthy spine supports your entire yoga practice.
The spinal wave and spinal twist are core features of Dru, enhancing spinal health and vitality.

Within the flow of movement, Dru Yoga creates powerful moments of stillness which we call ‘Dru points’.
