1. Your back will feel better
In a survey of 450 Dru Yoga students, 72% found Dru Yoga reduced their back pain. Dru is designed to be very safe and works to balance your back muscles to help clear discomfort and avoid injury.
‘Dru Yoga fixed my chronic back pain which I suffered with for 11 years. I was told I would be in a wheel chair & that I needed an operation. Now I have a healthy, supple, strong back & I can more than touch my toes. Love you Dru xx’ - Lyndsey Pearson, Liverpool.
2. You’ll feel blissfully relaxed and renewed
Dru Yoga is a unique combination of activation, energy block release sequences, asanas, and a long deep guided relaxation, which create a great feeling of well-being.
‘After doing Dru Yoga, I feel relaxed, calm and more centered. It certainly is a wonderful tool for your mind, body and soul.’ - Christina Alward
3. It’s proven to reduce stress
A 2011 study published in the Scandinavian Journal of Work Environment and Health showed that Dru Yoga significantly improved wellbeing and resilience to stress in the workplace, compared to a control group. More research is being done on the benefits of Dru Yoga for back pain and other health challenges.
‘It amazes me at how it can transform my whole personality to become a calmer, kinder and energised person. I love the moves, the people, the philosophy and the environment of Dru. About to start the teacher training course - I can't wait. - Paula Sutton, Administrator, Plymouth.

5. You’ll gain higher energy levels
If you’ve always wanted more vitality and a zest for life, then Dru Yoga will release blocked energy and put a spring in your step! The Dru approach to traditional hatha yoga postures enables the flow of energy to revitalize the body from inside out – helping you feel great, very quickly!
'Dru Yoga keeps me healthy, bright and shiny!' - Peter van Duren, Netherlands
6. Dru is for everyone!
No matter what age, shape or size you are, you’ll be able to do Dru Yoga. You won’t need to compare yourself with anyone, and we never talk about the ‘perfect posture’. Instead we always encourage many ways to do a yoga pose depending on your unique ability. The emphasis is on you. Full stop.
7. You’ll learn how to sort your emotions
Many people find that they can transform difficult emotions like anger, lack of confidence or grief through Dru’s yoga sequences, giving you access to your inner strengths.
‘What does Dru do for me? It keeps me sane! It gives me space to be me. It takes me out of my thoughts and in to the present moment. And the house is tidier, and I'm more patient, and I laugh more.’ - Lucy Cleary
8. It touches body, mind and spirit
You won’t just be touching your toes with Dru. It’s based on ancient yogic wisdom and involves meditation, mudras (hand gestures) and pranayama (directed breathing) which bring a deep sense of inner peace, no matter how busy you are! And if you fancy taking things further, we have a strong post-graduate programme with many personal development courses too.
‘In my Dru Yoga classes I’ve noticed my students experience a sense of emotional positivity and deep-rooted change.’ - Paul Krystall
