Explore the paradox of “Stillness in Motion”.

Dru Yoga is often referred to as “The Yoga of the Heart”. Discover what makes Dru Yoga an inclusive and accessible form of yoga. Experience our profoundly healing Energy Block Release Sequences.

The word Dru comes from the Sanskrit word for the North (or Pole) Star, a fixed point in the sky by which traditionally seafarers navigated. This fixed point is resonant of the stillness that can be experienced in Dru Yoga or what we refer to as “Stillness in Motion”. Dru Yoga is all about anchoring ourselves in the profound stillness of our Being whilst acting from a place of inner calm & integrity.

The Principles of Yoga Therapy for Mental Wellness

Sunday June 22, 2025 12:00pm - 1:00pm PDT

Lecture Auditorium

The Principles of Yoga Therapy for Mental Wellness - Ancient Wisdom for Modern Minds

This lecture will explore how four of India's profound philosophical systems—Samkhya, Vedanta, Yoga, and Tantra—combine to create a comprehensive framework for mental health transformation that addresses consciousness, the mind, emotions, and the physical body.
At the heart of this approach is Samkhya's map of existence through the three gunas (sattva, rajas, and tamas), which when integrated with Vedanta's understanding of the subtle body, Patanjali's practical yoga techniques, and Tantra's energetic methods, offers powerful tools for healing the mind holistically.
There will be a strong focus on Samkhya as a map (a yantra) that can be used to understand how mental and emotional suffering arises and how to address this suffering to create mental health, emotional resilience, and an enlightened mind.
By synthesising these ancient wisdom traditions with contemporary psychological approaches, we will examine how this integrated methodology creates a more complete therapeutic model that treats not just symptoms but initiates transformative healing that cultivates lasting mental wellbeing.
Real patient examples demonstrate how these principles translate into practice, showing how techniques like meditation, chakra work, and pranayama have helped individuals with conditions ranging from anxiety and depression to more complex emotional regulation issues, guiding them toward greater self-awareness and resilience.

Next, as the body melts into the earth feeling rejuvenated and completely relaxed, we embark on a journey utilising the benefits of hypnosis to empower the mind at a conscious and unconscious level.

But that’s not all! In this session, we learn easy and practical skills to live a successful life with fun and fulfilling relationships. We create the perfect setting to easily engage the body, empower the mind in order to rest the body and rest the mind to become receptive to the benefits of guided hypnotherapy.
