Blending together the benefits of yoga and dance, this weekend is invigorating, exhilarating and fun!

There are many ways to move just as there are many ways to use language. Dru Yoga Dance is a visual language often called ‘poetry in motion’.

Drawing inspiration and moves from the Dru Yoga tradition, as well as Indian and Western cultural influences, Dru Yoga dance offers a rich and varied opportunity to express yourself through body language.

You will learn a dynamic Dru Dance sequence choreographed to music, which you can use anytime to energise and empower yourself.

A reasonable level of fitness is required.

Retreat FAQs

I’m a yoga beginner... Is that OK?

Absolutely yes! All of the retreats in this brochure are suitable for beginners as well as for experienced yoga and meditation practitioners. However, you do need a reasonably good level of fitness.

I’m not flexible. Can I do Dru Yoga?

You’ll be surprised how quickly your body becomes more flexible when you practise regularly. Always listen to your body and don’t overstretch or strain.

I've been to this retreat before - will I benefit by coming again?

Absolutely!!! We carefully craft our timetable to match the needs of the people, the time of the year and - of course - our own delight in exploring Dru Yoga dance's many frontiers. So, most of the time you'll be learning new techniques from one retreat to another and even when we do repeat a technique you'll discover it in a whole new depth.

What about therapies & mentoring?

From ayurvedic Abhyanga full body massage to foot reflexology - when you enjoy a therapy on one of our retreats, that’s when you really feel the true benefits of the whole Dru experience. You can also book a personal mentoring with one of our expert tutors on topics such as chakra analysis, vedic astrology and much more.

What’s the food like?

Our catering gets rave reviews from our course participants. It’s delicious vegetarian cuisine, tasty and healthy, and complements the courses perfectly. We also cater for vegan and other special diets, such as gluten-free etc. Let us know when you book.

What are the rooms like?

We received a certificate of excellence this year from Tripadvisor for our accommodation. Snowdonia Mountain Lodge has 21 bedrooms, with a selection of double, twin bedded and family rooms. Recently refurbished, all rooms are ground floor and ensuite. Towels, linen, hairdryers and tea/coffee making facilities are included in the rooms.

Where can I buy my yoga accessories?

We have an excellent yoga shop in the reception area, packed with healthy snacks, health products, gifts, books, yoga and meditation accessories. The reception area also provides the perfect environment to browse, relax, enjoy refreshments and socialise.

Join us at the Dru Centre, Snowdonia Mountain Lodge. With its spectacular panaramic views, situated in the beautiful Nant Ffrancon valley in Snowdonia National Park, it’s the perfect place to relax and rejuvenate. Towering mountains rise on either side, and from your bedroom window you can see the changing light dancing over the fields, and listen to the sheep and lambs in the surrounding fields. The peace monument's water feature is a relaxing place to sit and soak up the sunshine, or you can meditate by a mountain stream. Teaching sessions are held in our spacious yoga hall, and in between classes you can browse through our extensive yoga shop.
