Dru Yoga is a gentle yet powerful style that originated from the ancient yogic traditions of India. Unlike more vigorous forms of yoga, Dru emphasises soft, flowing movements that create strength and flexibility while maintaining an awareness of core stability.

What makes Dru Yoga special in the Kiwi context:

• Accessible sequences that can be adapted to suit your individual needs
• Energy Block Release sequences to clear blocks in your energy system
• Deep relaxation techniques to help reduce stress and tension
• Positive affirmations to transform negative thought patterns

The directed breathing exercises (pranayama) and visualisation techniques help to calm the mind and create a sense of inner peace. Many participants report improved sleep, reduced anxiety, and greater overall wellbeing after regular Dru Yoga practice.

Dru Yoga is particularly popular among New Zealanders seeking a more mindful approach to movement and stress management. Whether you're looking to improve flexibility, manage stress, or simply find a moment of tranquility in your busy week, these sessions at the Tinwald Catholic Church provide a welcoming space to nurture your wellbeing.

No previous yoga experience is necessary, and the supportive, non-competitive atmosphere makes it ideal for those new to yoga or returning after a break. Bring a mat, comfortable clothing, and an open mind to experience the transformative effects of this ancient practice in a modern Kiwi context.
