Dru Yoga is an inclusive and accessible form of yoga. It is often referred to as ‘yoga of the heart’ and allows an opportunity for profound healing. Dru Yoga merges ancient wisdom with modern insights. Postures and sequences are rooted in ancient practice, yet they are crafted with the most up-to-date practices from health, physiotherapy and neuroscience. Dru Yoga is based on a foundation of safety, effectiveness and accessibility.

The word ‘Dru’ comes from the Sanskrit word “dhruva” which refers to the North Star, a fixed point in the sky. The North Star is traditionally used for navigation purposes because it remains fixed in the sky while other stars appear to move around it. Using the North Star as a metaphor, the fixed point symbolises the inner stillness that Dru Yoga can help people to access within themselves, a place of inner calm, even during flowing movements, despite the inevitable ups and downs of everyday life.

In a Dru Yoga class you will find traditional yoga poses, breath work and wonderfully revitalising relaxations. You will also find that classes show you how to prepare your body and warm up for poses as well as shift your mindset to enhance both mental and emotional wellbeing. Each class includes a gentle ‘energy block release’ which is a sequence of carefully designed movements that work systematically through the body to release tension and clear energy blockages.
