Dru Yoga is registered with the Yoga Alliance (200 hr course) and the
Independent Yoga Network (UK) so you can be confident that your
training: What makes this course unique?Choosing
the right yoga school to train with is a big decision and will shape
your entire career as a yoga teacher. Since 1985 we have trained
thousands of Dru Yoga teachers worldwide, with many hundreds currently
in training. Half our students start to teach before graduation, helping
to recoup their costs. What if I want to do the course just for my own personal development?About
one third of our students do the course for their own personal growth,
knowing that Dru’s deep insights into the body-mind system will make a
huge contribution to their lives. Generally, these students find the
‘teacher-training’ aspects of the course very beneficial. Here are some
examples of what you
will learn: What homework is required?There are two practical assessments, two written assignments and one lesson planning excercise. Part of the assessment includes a reflective portfolio journal which gives you an invaluable reference guide for personal development. How is the course content arranged?During the first half of this experiential course you will be introduced to the foundations of Dru Yoga—essential principles, postures, sequences, pranayama, meditation, anatomy and physiology, communication and teaching skills. In the second half you will refine your understanding of Dru Yoga, and learn how to develop individualised therapeutic programmes. When can I start teaching? Will the course pay for itself?You may begin teaching classes approximately half way through the course when you pass your interim assessment. You will then have an opportunity to earn enough to cover your course fees. Do you allow payments to be extended beyond the end of the course?Yes, we always try to meet the needs of our students with a wide range of payment options. What happens if I miss some course days?We are an International School and our syllabus is standard throughout the world. If you miss sessions you can catch up in two ways: 1. You can do this locally in a one-to-one or group session (at tutor’s discretions – and there is an additional cost) 2. You can catch up by visiting another Dru Yoga course elsewhere (anywhere in the world!) when that part of the course is being taught. Anyone for a holiday overseas?
