‘Having experienced many different forms of yoga over the last twelve years, I find the holistic philosophy of Dru Yoga very appealing and most effective!’ _{Jill, Dru Yoga undergraduate, UK}

I hardly recognise myself as the person I was six years ago. The bouts of depression, anxiety and low self-esteem I used to suffer on a regular basis have gone, to be replaced by increasing self confidence and a joyfulness in life that I’d forgotten was possible.’
Catherine, Dru Yoga teacher, UK

‘The Dru Course offers a complete package—regular retreats, personal development, structure for your practice at home, skills to teach, and practical ways to give back to the world.’ _{Judy, Dru Yoga undergraduate, Australia}
