the research
Evidence-Based Benefits of Dru Yoga
In randomised controlled trials Dru Yoga has shown to:
- increase energy levels
- maintain a healthy back
- improve resilience to stress
- enhance emotional well-being
- reduce sickness absence days.
Such research enables Dru Yoga teachers to work with large employers including private companies, county councils, schools, government agencies, professional sport teams and the NHS. A randomised controlled trial involving 75 government workers, published in Occupational Medicine in September 2012, showed that Dru Yoga significantly reduced both stress and back pain at work—two of the key factors leading to sickness absence. After an eight-week programme, Dru Yoga group scores (when compared with a control group) were significantly lower for perceived stress, back pain, sadness and hostility, and significantly higher for feeling self-assured, attentive and serene.
Sponsored by Bangor University and the NHS, a new randomised controlled trial with 150 NHS employees (published in Occupational Medicine in December 2017) found that an eight-week Dru Yoga programme resulted in less back pain, fewer sickness absence days and significant cost savings for the NHS. During this study, the Dru Yoga group took only 2 sickness absence days due to back pain and musculoskeletal conditions, compared with 43 days taken by the control group.
