People regularly ask me where the name Dru Yoga comes from, so I thought I write a short blog to tell you. Read on to find out for yourself…

It's time for a Summer holiday... Classes will continue during July - your final sessions will be on Monday 22 July and Wednesday 24 July. There will be no classes during August because I'll be working away and taking a holiday. Classes will re-start in September - on Monday 2nd and Wednesday 4th.

In a few weeks’ time I will be heading off to North Wales to teach on the Dru Yoga Summer Youth Retreat. It’s one of the highlights of my year because I not only get to share Dru Yoga and meditation with 12 amazing young people, aged 14-21, but I get to spend four fantastic days exploring the stunning Snowdonia National Park.

I had a wonderful week teaching Dru Yoga in Bergen, Norway at the start of July. Great to share in a series of workshops designed to help participants achieve their goals and gain mastery of their lives. And even better to be able to visit and explore a new city and a new country at the same time.

How Dru Yoga’s unique Energy Block Release sequences - EBR3 – help me learn a very valuable lesson, best summed up by something my husband said to me one morning, “You don’t have to have the same thing for breakfast every day.” Find out why…

It’s been a busy week of radio interviews with two appearances on BBC Radio Sheffield talking about the benefits of yoga in general and Dru Yoga in particular. Why not have a listen?

I’m marking International Day of Yoga, on Friday 21 June, by spearheading an initiative to see yoga offered on prescription as part of the NHS social prescribing initiative. The campaign will see me join yoga teachers across the UK offering free yoga classes at GP surgeries, hospitals and community centres in South Yorkshire and across the UK.

I’ve recently qualified to teach the specialist Dru Back Care Programme. The approach of this course is perfectly in-line with current medical opinion and based on extensive research. This proves that yoga - especially gently, flowing therapeutic yoga like Dru - performed with awareness is an ideal treatment.

I’m really excited to be co-teaching this special half-day ‘Yoga for Clarity & Inner Calm’ workshop alongside other amazing Dru Yoga teachers and one of the senior tutors from Dru Midlands. Through the practice of postures, sequences, meditation and mudras you’ll re-discover the ‘still point’ within and gain a clearer perspective on your life.

Do you want to take your Dru Yoga practice deeper? Would you like the chance to discover a home Dru Yoga practice that’s right for you? Why not treat yourself to a bespoke yoga class? Now that my home studio is finished I’m pleased to offer one-to-one targeted Dru Yoga consultations.
