Have you already tried Dru Yoga? Is meditation your next step? Then learn the calming, energizing effects of Dru Meditation on this in-depth course, and at the same time, make a living doing what you love.

This advanced course will take you through the process of meditation, from its most physical techniques to the most subtle awareness of your own energy. You will explore different styles of meditation and will find real inner peace through your own practice. You will also learn the science of teaching meditation to others, and guiding them through that same process. 

Amongst other things, you will learn:

•    Structuring and planning meditation classes
•    Dru prana kriyas, pranayama, mudra and visualisation techniques
•    Meditations for each kosha
•    Meditation in the workplace
•    A deep understanding of subtle energy
•    Meditative prayer and contemplation techniques
•    Chanting/singing  and mantra meditation
•    Meditation for healing the body and the earth

How do I prepare to come?
In order for us to be able to move the whole group ahead at the same pace, we expect you to have attended two Dru Meditation retreats before the teacher training course, and to be familiar with the basic Dru Yoga and Meditation techniques found on those retreats.
•    Knowledge on the chakras and subtle energy systems
•    Working knowledge of Energy Block Release sequences 1, 2 & 3 and other Dru Yoga sequences
•    Experience of the Prana Kriya techniques
•    Good knowledge of the Vertical Alignment, Blue Mist and other techniques taught on the preparatory retreats
•    An established daily meditation practice

Alternatively, you need to attend at least a term of Dru meditation classes with a qualified Dru meditation teacher, in place of one of the retreats.

What’s the course structure?
The teacher training course structure differs depending on location. In Scotland and London the course consists of 16 weekends over two years. In Snowdonia it consists of three, five-day modules per year, for two years.  In Northern Ireland it's four day modules. You will develop a regular meditation practice and will be given detailed guidelines for optimising your personal experience of meditation. Home study will consist of refining your practice.

You need to attend two qualifying Dru meditation events in order to apply for this course.  Alternatively, you need to attend at least a term of Dru meditation classes with a qualified Dru meditation teacher, in place of one of the retreats. Mentoring with our senior meditation teachers may be arranged if you can’t attend the required events.

What does it cost?
A registration/course admin set-up fee secures your place on the course, which you pay once your application has been accepted. The course fees vary slightly depending on location.
