Following exceptionally heavy monsoon rains, parts of Gujarat, India, have experienced severe flooding, with thousands of people evacuated and many families losing homes, clothing and other essential belongings. Navsari is among the districts most affected, and communities are continuing the long process of recovery.

We’re proud to share that Thakor Patel and the Dru Foundation India team have been supporting families in villages near Navsari by distributing blankets and clothing. So far, 200 sets of clothing and blankets have reached people whose homes have been affected by the floods.

This is the kind of practical community support made possible through the ongoing work of the Dru Foundation. Every time someone joins one of our courses, attends an event or supports our work, it helps enable projects like this, bringing practical help to communities when it’s needed most.

Thank you to everyone who is part of the Dru community and helps make this work possible. ❤️

✨🔥 Celebrating 27 years of the World Peace Flame 🔥✨

Today we celebrate a very special moment in the Dru story — the creation of the World Peace Flame.

On 31 July 1999, seven flames from five continents were brought together and united into one flame, creating a powerful symbol of peace, unity and our shared human potential. 🌍🕊️

We are incredibly proud that this vision was brought to life through the Dru community, and that the World Peace Flame continues to shine around the world — inspiring people everywhere to remember that each one of us can make a difference.

Peace is not only something we wish for. It is something we create — through our thoughts, our choices, our kindness, our compassion and the way we connect with one another.

Tonight, we invite you to join us for 90 Minutes of Peace — a special celebration of the World Peace Flame with meditation, gentle movement, mantra, a Ceremony of Light and Voices for Peace chanting.

Together, we will pause, reconnect and add our own light to this global vision of peace. ✨

🕊️ Join us online or in person at Snowdonia Mountain Lodge.

Let’s remember the light within ourselves — and the difference we can make when we come together.

Are the mountains calling? 💚⛰️

This summer has been especially beautiful here in Eryri (Snowdonia). Long, warm days, dips in the river, clear skies and the peace of the mountains make it a wonderful place to pause and reconnect.

If your heart is longing for a few days away, we’d love to welcome you.

Our Wild Walking, Yoga & Meditation Retreat in August is now fully booked, and we have just one room remaining on our Yoga Nidra Retreat in October.

You may not know that, alongside our retreats, we also offer self-catering accommodation here at the Dru Yoga Centre. If you’re looking for a last-minute UK escape, we still have a couple of midweek rooms available during the summer holidays, with a special midweek offer.

As an added bonus, guests staying with us midweek are welcome to join our complimentary yoga classes.

Whether you’re returning to a place that feels like home or simply craving fresh mountain air, peaceful walks and time to recharge, we’d love to welcome you back to Eryri.

Let us know when you last visited and what your plans are for visiting Eryri – Snowdonia again!

To find out more, simply get in touch with our hospitality team. We hope to see you in the mountains soon. 💚

For many years we've been asked whether Dru could offer some Sanskrit training.

It's something I've wanted myself. I've bought books, searched for videos and tried to find ways to learn, but I often found Sanskrit quite intimidating. It's such a beautiful and profound language, yet knowing where to begin can feel overwhelming.

That's one of the reasons I'm so pleased that Julian Singh is offering this workshop.

As a Dru Yoga teacher and long-term Sanskrit student, Julian has a gift for making this ancient language accessible, practical and relevant for modern yoga teachers, meditation teachers and mantra practitioners. Rather than getting lost in complexity, he'll help us build a clear foundation and greater confidence with the language that sits behind so much of yoga.

If you've ever wanted to understand Sanskrit more deeply, but weren't sure where to start, this workshop could be exactly what you've been looking for.

**Practical Sanskrit for Yoga Teachers**
21–22 June
Online – 2 hours each day

A few places are still available.

Hope to see you all on Wednesday’s healing Gong Bath! 

16/05/2026

It feels really good to be back.

During my recent healing journey, I found myself returning again and again to sound — using my own gong baths and mantra practices to help the body soften, the nervous system settle, and the mind find space to rest.

It reminded me how powerful this work can be, not just in moments of relaxation, but in supporting real restoration when life feels full or the body is recovering.

So I’ve created a new Deep Healing Sound, Mantra & Gong Bath on Wednesday 20 May (7–8.15pm) — online + in person at Snowdonia Mountain Lodge, Eryri, with a 14-day replay included.

A melodic, nurturing session with gong, mantra, voice, bowls and calming Welsh melodies, designed to support deep rest and nervous system balance.

If you feel like you need space to reset, I’d love to share it with you.

Happy Anniversary to Dru!

Yesterday we celebrated 48 years since a small group of students in Bangor University decided to change the world by giving people the tools to transform themselves. And now, Dru is a vibrant community across the world, where we seek to be the change that we wish to see in the world.

Thank you to all of you for being part of that vision, and for sharing yoga, meditation, Ayurveda, kirtan, pranayama with your communities. More than that - we thank you for making the world a better place through your kindness and your vision that things can be better.

Much love to you all from the Dru team xx
