In order for Arjuna to implement this he needs to learn to control his mind and senses and in chapter six Krishna, who knows that ones state of mind determines the quality of action begins to instruct him in the art of meditation, giving him practical techniques and methods. Now Arjuna can do something practical instead of just absorbing philosophy. Having taken him this far, Krishna decides to give Arjuna a glimpse of His divine power and who He,(Krishna) is, in a small preview of chapter eleven, and how to see His world from a different perspective in chapter seven.

This is followed by Dru’s unique Energy Block release sequences, which systematically release trapped emotional energy from the body. Next come Dru’s flowing postures and sequences, for example the sun sequence and salutation to the four directions, which bring increased energy and inner calm. With graceful movements not unlike t’ai chi, Dru takes traditional hatha yoga poses and brings a new, stress-reducing emphasis to yoga poses sequences like the tree and downward dog. A Dru yoga class finishes with a blissful relaxation or savasana, which is described by some yoga students as being better than a trip to the greek islands!
