This heart centred, graceful, yet potent, flowing style of yoga is designed to be practiced by people of all abilities, all fitness levels and age groups. It is a style of yoga for those who may doubt their abilities to start yoga or who wish to deepen their yoga practice. Dru Yoga is perfect for all bodies as there is no need to be fit or flexible. If you want the peace and stillness that yoga has given you in the past and think you cannot successfully practice any longer then Dru Yoga is for you. If you want to gain strength, mobility and a deep inner happiness then Dru Yoga will give you this as well.

Dru Yoga is based in the ancient yogic tradition and also draws upon the most effective techniques from a wide variety of complementary and western disciplines. Dru yoga’s techniques encourage connection between the body, heart and mind which also slowly releases the effects of trauma. The techniques work gently and effectively with emotional pain and support the cultivation of a positive outlook. Regular practice of Dru Yoga will help you sleep, relax, laugh, soften, be still, love, accept, smile, be more flexible and balanced both physically and mentally, correct your posture and strengthen your core stability,heal, concentrate, breathe easily and increase your overall well being.

Heart Movements based in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges (1hr from Melbourne) is facilitated by Shakti McLaren who has taught Dru Yoga since 2004. Shakti is also supports on teaching training modules. Shakti is also a registered nurse and midwife with over 23years experience in counselling.

DRU yoga is all about YOU, who YOU are on this earth, where YOU are, and being in touch with your inner strength, healing the inner YOU. DRU is STILLNESS, DRU is like a fresh breath of 'STILLNESS'. Stillness is something we all forget by being too busy with life but I have realised it is so important, it nourishes us physically, mentally and emotionally. I'm new at DRU and without realising it is waking me up and refreshing and strengthening me.
Carolyn, Health Care Worker, musician

I have come to 10 sessions of Dru Yoga. I have been depressed for years and sleep poorly. I have rheumatoid arthritis. Because of going to one hour a week of this beautifully relaxing yoga I no longer take sleeping tablets. I get up early each morning and go to bed earlier.
Connie, Aged Care Worker

It has opened me up to a very specific form of yoga that truly incorporates a spiritual component as well as the physical side. Dru can be as complex or as simple as you want it to be. Consequently it doesn’t matter if you are 6, 16, 40, 60+ or 70+. It has introduced me to a new community of sincere, caring, genuine disciples of a wonderful discipline.
Vivien, Community Health Nurse

Dru Yoga has opened my eyes to a new and wonderful perspective on life. It provides strategies and techniques to centre myself, reenergise and be calm and peaceful in the midst of the busyness of day to day living. Through Dru Yoga I’ve made wonderful friendships and been inspired by the wisdom and energy of our fabulous teacher. Dru Yoga is an ongoing physical and mental journey of discovery, it’s suitable for everyone from beginners through to advanced practitioners. I’m so grateful that Dru Yoga has become an integral and joyous part of my life.
Emma, Program Coordinator

 


Research tells us that only one hour of Yoga a week can increase your well being and lower your
stress levels and that yoga is better than walking  for your overall  health and  well being.

breathing so you feel vital,centered and wise, posture and alignment so that the body aligns itself

and your energy flows thus decreasing body pain and increasing empowerment, an energy block

release (EBR) designed to release blocks, essentially Dru, beautiful and flowing, postures that flow

and bring you infinite strength and grace and finally relaxation that introduces you to a rich state of

contentment and healing silence. Classes follow a theme and build upon the previous class so
