What will I learn?

These deeply nurturing 2 days aim to give you that marvellous feeling of inner stability. The feeling of 'ahh... now I feel like I've come home.'

It will be live-streamed to you, hosted by Chandra Goswami, Christiane Saar and team.

You'll explore our instant awakeners which call 'activations' - as well as unique Energy Block Release sequences. With these you'll learn to quickly clear tiredness and stress, freeing your physical joints and muscles while also reclaiming a free-flow of energy throughout your body.

Our uniquely taught Dru movement sequences will help you craft your body and mind into exactly the state you'd like it - enabling you to heal old hurts and awaken new strengths.

We'll touch depths of stillness and empowerment with nourishing meditations, which are easy for even the most turbulent minds after our profound yoga experiences.

We'll also guide you through everyone's favourite: remarkably deep relaxations..

The aim of the weekend is to help you feel back in control of your health, alive in your emotions and wise in your mind.

It's a rare opportunity to have such a nourishing weekend. You deserve it!

Programme

Instant Awakeners

Activate your vital life force (or prana) and wake up all your lymphatic, circulatory and respiratory systems. Start to oxygenate your cells and decompress your organs.

Tip: stand squarely on your feet and bounce gently on your heels for 1 minute. Masai warriors do this to release fear from the kidneys.

Building Strength & Confidence

Connect with your power and stand in your strength. If you’ve ever given your power away to someone or a situation, this will pull it bring back to you.

Tip: Stand with your feet in a comfortable wide stance, with your arms outstretched above you. Feel victorious and confident. Hold this posture for 1-2 minutes and notice the difference in how you feel.

Discovering Breath & Balance

We all have 3 brains – surprise! Awaken your gut, heart and head. Once synchronised with movement and breath in a systematic way will enable you to focus, be open and make the right decisions for yourself.

Tip: Breathe in and cross your wrists in front of your body. Then stretch your arms up and out. Breathe out as your arms come down either side of you. Relax and repeat a few times.

Easing into Peace

Did you know that the first two hours of sleep are just your body trying to relax? So- if you learn how to activate your parasympathetic nervous system (vagal toning) it can help improve digestion, reduces inflammation, balances blood pressure and improves sleep! A natural antidote to stress.

Tip: Lie down and bring your body into a fully relaxed state. Breathe deeply expanding the abdomen. You can place your hands on the navel region and observe the expansion and relaxation of the abdomen.

FREE TRIAL

Here is a perfect example of how Dru works.

Let go of habits that are holding you back and replace them with new, dynamic and empowering ones.

Join Andrew, as he takes you through a series of movements, combined with mental and emotional focus that will enable you to let go of any unwanted habits that may be tripping you up as you walk the road of life.
  
Emotions, negative thoughts and habits are often held in the physical body. To dissolve long term habits we must withdraw our energy and focus from that habit. One powerful technique is to combine movement and intention to transform and free energy blockages, and replace the old thought patterns with new and invigorated, fresh ways of thinking!

My experience of Dru and yoga had been limited to one wonderful walking and yoga retreat at the Nation Centre in Snowdonia the previous year. My isolation during lockdown led me, for exercise reasons, to the Dru online studio recommended by a friend and my life was transformed when I immersed myself in the many workshops, talks and classes they were providing live over the period. I came to "know" the wonderful teachers. When the spirituality of yoga course was offered, I jumped at the chance. It was the most beautiful, uplifting and sustaining experience I have ever had. My only regret was that it only lasted 21 days which did not give me the chance to really get to know any of the 200 other participants from all over the world. My heart leapt when a chance to be part of the community as a Sangha over the next 11 months was offered. Thank you Dru team. You are very special wonderful people.

The spirituality of yoga course and the sangha that followed have really helped me establish a daily meditation practice and have helped me grow in self-confidence and feel more connected with myself.

You will learn more than you could imagine - about yoga postures, philosophy, anatomy & physiology, yourself and the relationship you have with yourself, the world and others - and so much more. The course is really well structured and balanced across different areas of teaching. The whole of the teaching team are totally amazing - supportive, full of wisdom and knowledge and I feel really grateful for the last couple of years. The course will go quicker than you think - make the most of this opportunity. Thank you!
