Astoria Barr
Director Spirituality/Marketing
Canberra
I met our founder Mansukh Patel in 2002 when I interviewed him for a newspaper article.
He and the visiting Dru team, plus the Dru Yoga techniques, made such a profound effect on me that I moved from the Byron Bay area to join the Dru team in Canberra at the end of my Dru yoga course.
As I had a BA in Journalism and Psychology it was natural to slip in supporting Dru with Marketing.
But during my life Id also explored various courses in spiritualty and personal development. So, when I began teaching Dru yoga and Dru meditation I drew on some of that experience too.
In 2010 I had a life altering car accident that left me with multi-joint injuries and chronic pain.
Im not sure where I would be now if it wasn’t for Dru. Id probably be in a wheel chair, very overweight and I certainly wouldn’t tour the world support Dru in different countries.
I do my own form of modified yoga and balance this with a dedicated spiritual practice that carries me through life’s challenges.
I am very grateful that Im on path that is dedicated to supporting people find freedom.
