What does Dru Mean?

Dru comes from the Sanskrit word dhruva, which refers to the stillness that can be experienced in Dru Yoga and Dru Meditation.
​
​In this stillness we are able to sit back from anything that may be happening around us and see and act from a point of clarity and inner calm.

What is Unique about
​Dru Yoga

What is Unique about
​Dru Meditation 
  • Joints are kept relaxed and soft during movement. This creates flexibility and a free flow of subtle energy, working with the body and mind at deeper levels.
  • Energy Block Release sequences are easy to practice. Flowing movements help to release tension physically, mentally and emotionally.
  • 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.
  • A deep understanding of core stability is a major focus.
  • Dru Yoga works to balance the chakras (energy centres of the body) and access the powerful energy of the heart.
  • Within the flow of movement, Dru Yoga creates powerful moments of stillness which we call ‘Dru points'.
With Dru Meditation we aim to create a perfect balance between alertness and relaxation. Dru Meditation classes always start with a Dru yoga practice; once the body is relaxed it can easily meet the mind and be anchored in stillness using breath awareness.

We need to sit in a comfortable position for our bodies. Whether that be on chairs, cross legged on the floor or use a meditation stool, ensuring the spine is in a neutral upright position.  We learn a wide range of techniques; we learn to sit in stillness and if we move, we do so within a space of quietness; being aware of our body, aware of our breath as it flows in and out. 

Meditation has a cumulative effect and can help with sleep, blood pressure, menopause, chronic pain, stress, anxiety, concentration, memory, relationships...to name but a few. ​
