CPD Masterclass: Making classes accessible - access now
Post graduate masterclass with Noelene Francis
Online—or in your time
$77 for DPN members; $110 for non-DPN members
Special Masterclass series for Dru graduates! Recorded in March 2023.
Join Noelene to explore the whole concept of accessible yoga and meditation classes - whether we are catering to older people, or people with physical limitations, or disadvantage.
As you know Dru Yoga's foundation is therapeutic and we learn many modifications in our training. For this reason in our experience Dru also one of the safest forms of yoga out there, especially for the increasing cohort of people who are taking up yoga in their older years.
In this workshop, we'll explore the key principles of how to modify practices to cater for people of different ages and abilities or limitations.
We'll also cover considerations for:
- teaching a class of mixed abilities or goals for their yoga
- teaching a group that includes people of several different life stages
- the language of inclusion
- reaching out to those who may be excluded.
The masterclass will
- Add to what you have learned in your teacher training for both yoga and meditation, and
- Deepen your understanding of modification, and what you can achieve in your own practice.
Suitable for Dru Yoga and Dru Meditation graduates. You will accrue 2 Continuing Professional Development points for viewing this masterclass.

If you are thinking of doing the teacher training course, I would say just do it. You get more flexibility and knowledge of yoga, find peace in yourself with the ability to pass it on to others. Each one you meet knows there is something about you with a readience of peace and confidence around you. 'Find your inner light of peace'.
The decision to join the Spirituality of Yoga course came to me unexpectedly and after some hesitation. I'm so thankful that I did!
The practices have affected me, some very deeply, in a way that feels more certain and deep than anything else I've done; awakening new awareness but also drawing me back to long held understandings that had slipped from my life. Most of all, at this time in my life, in the world, it has helped to experience deep stillness and steadiness, with a renewed compassion for my self as well as others.
On a practical level, the online course fits in easily with daily life, with a balance of learning, practice and space to absorb one thing before moving on. The videos are all there to go over as many times as needed - and also to return to the energy of the live sessions.
The support throughout is amazing, steady, generous and infused with love, joy and a lot of laughter! It's been wonderful to feel closer to our amazing tutors and the wider community on the course. I know this is another step in a lifelong process and I'm looking forward to the next stage of the journey....Thank you Dru!x
