Welcome to your Dru Yoga Journey
Everything you need to feel held, safe, and ready for your first Dru Yoga class
Namaste
I am so glad you are here and I can’t wait to get to know you and your story.
You might not know exactly what brought you here — maybe it was a longing to feel better in your body, a mind that moves faster than light or a deep intuition that it’s time to reconnect. Whatever it was, trust that it’s enough.
Just arriving here is a brave first step — and you don’t need to have it all figured out. In this space, we honour curiosity, we meet you where you are, and we move at the pace of kindness.
Dru Yoga is not about achieving perfect poses. It’s about feeling more at home in your body, calming your mind, and gently returning to the wisdom of your heart.
Here’s a simple and soulful pathway to support your first steps — with clarity, care, and presence.
I’m honoured to share this journey with you.
Step 1. Feel it for Yourself
I love my new students to truly feel the experience — the way I guide each class, the energy of the space, and how Dru Yoga can support your body, mind, and soul.
Simply visit the Class Schedule, choose the class that resonates with you, and use the code TRYDRU at checkout to receive your first class as a gift.
This is your invitation to pause, breathe, and reconnect — no expectations, no pressure.
Just you, your body, and your breath.
Step 2: Your Safety is Key
Before we meet on the mat, I’d love to know a little more about you.
Your wellbeing is at the heart of everything I do. That’s why I ask all new students to complete a short Health & Intentions Form before their first class. It helps me understand any specific needs, sensitivities, or experiences that might shape your practice — so I can support you with care and clarity.
Whether you’re healing from an injury, navigating a busy mind, or simply returning to your body after a long time… this form helps me meet you where you are.
Step 3: Questions?
Trying something new can feel exciting and a little intimidating — and that’s completely okay.
I want you to feel held and informed every step of the way, so here are some answers to the questions most new students have:
If you’re coming to an in-studio class, everything you need is available for you — mats, blankets, props. That said, many students prefer bringing their own mat for hygiene and personal comfort.
You may also want to bring:
- A water bottle to stay hydrated and take mindful pauses
- Comfortable clothes to move in
For online classes, I suggest you create a cosy space with:
- Your yoga mat
- A blanket and cushions or bolster if you have one
- Props like a chair, strap, or belt (I’ll let you know in advance when we’ll use these)
And mostly — bring your beautiful self, an open mind, and a heart full of curiosity.
Yes, yes, yes. Dru Yoga is gentle, accessible, and welcoming to all bodies and levels of experience. You don’t need to be flexible, strong, or experienced — you just need to show up and be present. This is a safe space for you to explore, feel, and reconnect at your own pace.
Absolutely. Your wellbeing is my top priority. That’s why I ask everyone to fill out the Health & Intentions Form before their first class. This helps me understand your unique needs and adapt the practice for you — with love and care. You’re never alone here.
Dru is often called “Yoga of the Heart.”
It’s a flowing, healing practice that includes gentle movement, breath awareness, deep relaxation, and guided visualisations — all designed to release tension and restore your energy.
We don’t use the body to force a posture — we use the posture to lovingly meet the body. Every class is an invitation to slow down, listen inward, and come home to yourself.
It’s best to practice yoga on a light stomach. If you need a little something before class, try a small snack like fruit, nuts, or a smoothie at least 1–2 hours beforehand.
The idea is to feel nourished, but not heavy — so your body can move, twist, and breathe with ease.
Beautiful question! Here are a few gentle tips to help you (and everyone else) feel settled and respected during class:
- Arrive a few minutes early so you can land and settle into your space.
- Please silence your phone and take a moment to unplug from the outside world.
-
Avoid wearing strong perfumes — some students may be sensitive to scents, and we want the space to feel fresh and inclusive for all.
- If you’re attending online, try to find a quiet spot and have your camera on — it helps me guide you better, and fosters a sense of community.
- Most importantly, come just as you are — with kindness and an open heart.
Yes — savour the stillness.
After class, give yourself a few extra minutes before rushing off. Drink some water, notice how you feel, and allow the practice to ripple through your day/night. Some students love journaling a thought or insight that came during class.
If something shifted or moved within you — physically or emotionally — that’s normal and beautiful. You’re doing deep work, and your body is thanking you.
Step 4: Reach out anytime
If something feels unclear, if you have a specific need, or if you simply want to share how you’re feeling before your first class, I’m always here for you.
Please know that your presence matters, your process is valid, and there’s no such thing as a silly question.
Just get in touch — I’ll always do my best to support you.
Step 5: What comes next?
After your trial class, take a moment to check in with yourself.
If it feels aligned — if your body whispered “yes, more of this” — you’re warmly invited to continue this journey in the way that feels right for you.
Most of my students enjoy a weekly class as their regular practice, choosing a 5 or 10 class pass for flexibility and flow. Others dive deeper by joining a seasonal retreat, or one of our soulful events or programs.
There’s no rush. No pressure.
Just your rhythm. Your heart. Your way.
Whenever you're ready — I'm here.
