Stretch Your Mind and Body  

Dru Yoga was first taught in the West by a small group of people at Bangor University, North Wales, UK from the late 1970s onwards. Mansukh and his family emigrated to the UK in the 1960's from Kenya.

Dru Yoga has become popular in Australia over the past 10 years or so. We talked to Andrew Wells who is one of the most eminent teachers of Dru Yoga here in Australia. He conducts Dru Yoga teacher training all over the world. He has taken Dru Yoga into war zones and it has brought amazing benefits to severely traumatised people.

Dru Yoga is accessible to all body types, the body is used to transform the mind and the emotions. It doesn't matter how "fit" you are. In case you can't perform certain postures, you can visualise doing them, feel the energy flow they would create and you will still get a lot of the benefits.

According to Andrew your own body is a much better tool to transform your unconscious mind than your conscious mind.

The ultimate goal of any yoga practice is to achieve a physical and mental state that allows you to meditate with ease. A stiff, painful body and any emotions that cause "turbulences" in your mind will stop you from meditating effectively. Those turbulences need to be cleared.

Dru Yoga is a soft form of yoga with flowing movements and many different sequences. To find out more, have a look here:
