The Benefits of Dru Yoga for Active Seniors

Dru Yoga is a graceful and potent form of yoga that's particularly beneficial for seniors looking to maintain or improve their quality of life. Unlike more vigorous styles, Dru Yoga emphasizes gentle, flowing movements that work with the body rather than against it.

This therapeutic approach to yoga originated in the UK and has gained popularity across New Zealand for its accessible nature and comprehensive health benefits. What sets Dru Yoga apart is its focus on:

• Energy Block Release sequences - gentle flowing movements that release tension physically and emotionally
• Modified postures - traditional yoga poses adapted to suit different body types and abilities
• Breath awareness - simple breathing techniques that calm the mind and energize the body
• Deep relaxation - guided relaxation to reduce stress and improve overall wellbeing

Regular practice can help address common concerns for seniors such as:

• Reduced balance and increased fall risk
• Joint stiffness and decreased range of motion
• Poor posture leading to back and neck pain
• Sleep difficulties and fatigue
• Stress and anxiety

Many participants report feeling more confident in their everyday activities after just a few weeks of consistent practice. The social aspect of group classes also provides valuable community connection, which is essential for mental wellbeing as we age.

Dru Yoga complements other forms of exercise and can be particularly valuable for those recovering from injury or managing chronic conditions. As always, it's recommended to chat with your healthcare provider before starting any new exercise program.
