What is DRU YOGA?
Dru Yoga focuses on breathing and relaxation
together with gentle stretching and work on the spine. You'll
be encouraged to perform gentle flowing sequences rather than holding rigid
postures, as is the case with some other forms of yoga. In Dru Yoga one of the
main principles states that the joints must remain flexible
throughout the session in order to permit energy to flow freely. Remaining
stiff will only serve to place excess pressure on your muscles.
Furthermore,
each posture is used as part of a sequence thus encouraging movements
with more fluidity, and for every pose there is a contraindication,
that means you can achieve true balance.
This is what you
can expect during the Dru Yoga Sessions:
1. Activation
The class will begin with loosening up the
body, enhancing circulation and drawing potential energy out of your core
being. As a result, your body should feel free of tension and
fatigue.
2. Energy Block Release (EBR)
Next you'll perform simple, flowing yet
effective movements which are specific to Dru Yoga. They work to dissolve areas
of tight or blocked energy on many levels – physically, mentally and
emotionally.
It
is important to regularly release negative energy otherwise it can fester and
influence behavioural patterns and physical well-being in a negative way.
Scientific evidence suggests that when people feel loved and have close caring
relationships that fill them with positive energy; the immune system becomes
stronger and more resistant to diseases such as cancer, coronary heart disease,
high blood pressure and other degenerative conditions. In essence EBR sequences
act like a detoxification from the inside out.
3. Postures
The
postures you will use are similar to those in other forms of yoga. However,
they are modified and presented in stages so that you can achieve them, no
matter what you level of ability. This means you'll be able to experience a
sense of accomplishment and ease within your body as the movements
required are well within most people's range of movements.
4.
Relaxation
You
will feel the benefits of all the postures and sequences during this phase as your
body has time to settle and balance itself.
5. Meditation
We
will do Meditation after completing all the previously mentioned steps.
Meditation becomes much easier if done after yoga, as internal agitations and
discomforts have been cleared, so your mind should feel more focused.
Why is Dru Yoga beneficial to you?
It's is easy to perform, and won't strain your
body. It helps you to sleep better, and increases flexibility while reducing
stress.
