Following discussions with the British Council of Yoga Therapists (BCYT) we are delighted to report that we can bring you a wonderful opportunity to upgrade your Dru Teacher Diploma to qualify as a Dru yoga therapist, recognised by the above board.

How does it fit together?

We have submitted two Post Graduate level therapy courses which we have been running for four/five years to the BCYT to find out how you, our qualified Dru teachers could get listed on the register of yoga therapists.

Our undergraduate teacher training course provides a good foundation and therefore we only needed to add more specialised training as post graduate add on modules in order to satisfy the requirements of the above council.

Additional training requirements:
3 x 12 hour weekends on teaching Dru prenatal yoga and
3 x 12 hour weekends on Dru back care for yoga teachers.    
Total of 72 hours

You can build it in units as you wish.

As yet I do not have full enough details of the back care course and do not wish to mislead you. I will forward the information as soon as I have discussed the back care component with the tutors.

 In the meantime I can elaborate on the nature of the Dru prenatal course.

•     Weekend 1 will continue to be offered also as a “stand alone course” for anyone wishing to start teaching prenatal classes in their neighbourhood.  See attached info for the programme content. Cost £195 DYPR members or £225 others

There are two of these stage 1 courses lined up in the next few months:

Manchester 19th/20th June

Cumbernauld 2nd/3rd Oct.

•    Weekend 2 of the course is designed for those who have completed weekend 1 as we will be deepening and developing what was learned in stage 1. We also hope you will have started teaching your own classes by then and will have at least a little experience. Between weekends 2 and 3 there will be a written homework assignment involving  practical case studies with pregnant students.
The first of these is a residential weekend August 20-22nd at Snowdonia Mountain Lodge. Cost DYPR members £295 (including accommodation and meals) or £325
•    Weekend 3  - Sat. /sun non residential course early next year, Feb. or March – likely in Manchester, cost DYPR members £195.00 or £225  others

Then you will be ready for the back care course which again will take a similar form of 3 weekends.

Due to the nature of these courses you do have to study the units in sequence, weekend 1 is the basis upon which we build weekend 2 and the weekend 2 provides the foundation for weekend 3.

If you have to miss a weekend we will repeat the courses annually so you can still go on to gain experience in teaching the specialist subject anyway while waiting for your weekend to come around again.

Please phone me on 07789 781783 or 0207 388 2410 should you wish clarification on any of the above and if you wish to receive a course outline.
