Dru Yoga is a form of yoga that helps people alleviate mental and emotional problems. This form of yoga basically aims to bring the practitioner into a better emotional and mental state by improving the body’s mobility. The word Dru is derived from the Sanskrit word “Dhruv” which means axis. Dru Yoga is thus focused on allowing a person to create a personal axis on which they can anchor their emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing.
How is Dru Yoga practice different from regular yoga?
Dru Yoga is more task-oriented than other forms of yoga that focus on overall well-being. A typical Dru Yoga session would generally begin with the practitioner pinpointing a particular energy block that they want to remove. These blockages could be physical or emotional and by moving the practice in a specific direction, the practitioners can alleviate the buildup of stress within themselves.
What does Dru Yoga comprise of?
Most Dru Yoga sessions deal with Energy Block Release sequences. These sequences are a set of visualizations, hand gestures, breathing patterns and sequences of movements that can be used to get rid of stress, pain and diseases. Some of the key practices in Dru Yoga include:
– The Immortality or Introspection Sequence, which is used to build confidence and inspiration by changing negative thoughts into positive ones.
– The Salutation to the Four Directions Sequence, which helps practitioners release negative energy causing emotional, mental or physical diseases.
– The Seat of Compassion Sequence, which targets painful emotions and helps transform them.
-The Dru Sun Sequence which helps get rid of stress and boost vitality.
What kind of practitioners should try Dru Yoga?
Just as a healthy person would take medicine for no reason, similarly Dru Yoga is not really recommended for someone who isn’t in physical, emotional or mental distress. However, people that are struggling with mental, emotional or physical discomfort and pain, Dru Yoga sessions can be incredibly rehabilitating.
