💚Testimonials from the Dru Retreats in January 2025 & 2026

💫The retreat was an experience of a lifetime. Life changing for me. I've never felt so comfortable, cared for and supported, as I did at the Dru Retreat. I didn't know anyone, I came alone, however I felt like I belonged from the moment I arrived, safe and nurtured. Kindness, community and growth is what I will take away. I cannot wait for the next one. Trudy A.

💫That Dru is so so so much more than yoga. It is a way of being, that creates a sound safe place to rediscover a connection to one's authentic sovereignty. The teachers presence was profoundly healing. Their passion to assist others to clear the unconscious by movement, actions, ideas and questioning so all that gathered now shines a little brighter. Helen C.

💫This Retreat was a gift to myself and my soul's evolution - an amazing opportunity to meet the most beautiful people. I could feel all the teachers holding such a sacred space for us to heal and evolve in divine timing. Kathyrn L.

💫The Dru yoga retreat in Healesville was a wonderful experience that won't be forgotten. It provided me with the opportunity to be with like-minded people and dive as deep into the spiritual aspects of yoga as I felt comfortable. The amazing team led us through a rich program that has inspired and encouraged me to continue on the spiritual path. Sharon H.
