The specialist Dru Yoga Back Care Courses run on a course-by-course basis throughout the year. The classes take place live and online via Zoom
Based on evidence
The Dru Yoga Back Care Course is based on the work of senior Dru Yoga teacher and Senior Researcher at Bangor University, Dr Ned Hartfiel. To date, he has conducted three research studies on Dru Yoga in the workplace.
His latest research found that Dru Yoga reduced back pain, improved wellbeing and saved the NHS sickness absence days due to back pain. The clinical trial with 150 NHS staff showed impressive benefits for those taking part:
• 90% reported less back pain
• 97% recommended the programme
• 90% had more self-confidence even while experiencing stress
• and, 80% improved in their energy levels.
Benefits for Individuals & Business
Ned has presented his research in the House of Lords to the Parliamentary Group on Yoga in Society. You can find a summary research article showing how yoga in the workplace can reduce back pain and sickness absence.
Many different kinds and sizes of businesses have experienced the benefits of the Dru Yoga Healthy Back Programme. It has been successfully introduced into Kellogg’s, North Wales Police, the Institute of Chartered Accountants, Merseyside Police, Great Ormond Street Hospital and Conwy County Council. And of the 100s of employees who have now completed the programme, approximately 9 out of every 10 have reported reduced back pain and improved wellbeing.
Just think how you, your back and your business could benefit!
