Online Super Relaxed Yoga with Rich

Yoga literally means ‘union’ or ‘oneness’ and is about achieving a particular state of being not a particular shape with your body. This state of being is open to all. It is a practice for you to find peace and balance with who you are, all of who you are, not just the shape. And who doesn’t want to feel at peace? No one! It’s a practice for the innate desire of every human to live comfortably and embrace every faculty of who they are.

Dru Yoga

Dru Yoga is graceful and potent. It’s based on flowing movements, directed breathing, and visualisation. It improves strength and flexibility, creates core stability, builds heightened feelings of positivity, and deeply relaxes and rejuvenates your whole being. It’s also gentle, relaxing, and focuses on facilitating the body to release, no need to push or force.

Unique energy block release sequences work to subtly release energy constrictions which get held in our body, and particularly in our spine. There is also a particular focus on the Anahata chakra (Heart centre) which creates a heartwarming sense of wellbeing.

Yoga of The Soul

Dru Yoga is truly a yoga of the Soul. My intention when I teach is really to get you to connect to an immensely deep place within you where you hold the creative intelligence that you need to connect with that enables you to thrive in your life.

A lot of the time when our mind is busy we literally can’t hear ourselves ‘think’- or in essence hear our ‘deeper self’ talk to us and inform us what we need to do to keep our life moving forward.

Heart Opening

Dru has a fantastic way of ‘opening your Heart’ as it’s a gentle yoga which enables you to deeply relax, and when your Heart is relaxed the rest of your being follows suit so your entire body and mind become peaceful.

And the other affect of opening your Heart in this way is that it holds the aforementioned precious ‘deeper self’ information, the essence of your being and creative passions and potential within it, so when you are relaxed in this way it amplifies your awareness in your mind of what you need to do in your life.

While Dru is a gentle yoga, this subtlety is not to be confused with not being powerful! Some of the most powerful transformations we can have are the result of subtle inner shifts which then ripple through our being, our actions and therefore our life.

While other yoga’s may have a much more challenging physical or Asana (postural) focus, the challenge in Dru is to embrace the stillness. And indeed this can be the ultimate challenge! You may be physically very adept, but contacting your inner self in this way can be a new challenge and is a courageous path as when you take your attention inside you also have to embrace your thoughts and emotions that we are often keen to run or be distracted from. It’s a road to self-knowledge and self-awareness.

Initially lying still against the exquisite stillness of a Dru class can seemingly amplify the thoughts and feelings within, but this is just a layer of ‘cloud’ we pass through on the way to a much clearer state of mind, but if we turn away when we are faced with our own feelings what chance do we ever get to see what’s on the other side? Your feelings often have deep intelligence, or indeed just require your attention in order to dissolve and relax, and Dru provides this possibility. The fact that your mind might be racing when you lie down and close your eyes is actually giving you information that you need to relax, not to jump up and get on with being busy!

Learn To Love What’s Inside

So it’s unlikely I’ll get you to stand on your head in a Dru class, but I might get you to listen to, and learn to Love what’s inside it. If that scares you, just remember that what goes on in your mind is linked to the body, and since Dru is a tremendously relaxing yoga, it’s the strength of the practice in relaxing and harmonising your body that calms the mind. So gather your courage and come and see what’s ‘inside’.

Booking: Pay What You Can

You will need a code to access classes via Zoom. In order to obtain the code you will need a ticket – either a paid or donation ticket, via the Eventbrite order form below, and the code will arrive in the reply email.

*IMPORTANT *

Please note, I’m intending to keep the meeting code and password the same for all classes I offer, so you wouldn’t need to complete a ticket order each time you want to stream a class. This means you can also make periodic donations if you wish, rather than for each class – so you could make a donation at the start or end of the week for the classes you attend that week.

Many Thanks

What They Are Saying…

Just wanted to say I thought the class was beautiful…very comfortable and flowed through so many different exercises and techniques without feeling rushed. It was nice to lean on people and feel that we are together in this crazy little world, and I felt really relaxed and well stretched by the end. Thanks, Richard! I’ll be back! – Julia

Thank you, Rich, for great classes and your awesome concepts! Everyone should try your classes to feel the true power of connection through yoga. – Yulia

Thank you, Richard! I really enjoyed your class and will be back next week! Haven’t felt so relaxed, peaceful, and calm for a very long time! Just what I needed! And it was fun to meet so many friendly social people tonight! See you next week everyone! – Miriam

Highly recommend this class, folks. I went for the first time last week. Richard guides you along to create a lovely balance between being energised and relaxed. Great for the non-flexible types like myself. 🙂 – Vernon
