What makes Dru different?

Dru is a really accessible form of yoga that is completely flexible. Grounded in classical yoga principles and postures, it is also influenced by other movement modalities such as Qi Gong and Tai Chi.

Dru classes typically include a set of warm up exercises called activations, followed by an Energy Block Release sequence (EBRS). EBRS are a key element of a Dru class and are designed to mobilise the spine and dislodge and discharge energy trapped within the body. Joints are kept soft so energy can flow. Classes also include traditional posture and sequence work before finishing with a guided relaxation.

All Dru teachers are masters of modification – it’s a key part of our training. So, if you’re uncomfortable with your head down or suffering from a sore back you’ll find lots of modifications throughout the class, that means you still get the benefits of the posture or sequence but none of the discomfort. This is why Dru is known for being an excellent tool for back care and/or reduced mobility.

When I first started attending a Dru class, I was amazed by its almost magical stress relieving powers: I would arrive at class feeling stressed out and exhausted after a long day at work, completely stuck in my head, uneasy in my body, and leave feeling strong, calm and centred. This is why I absolutely love practicing and teaching this form of yoga.
