“Fantastic time at Dru with Ju. Julie really looked after me and the class were welcoming. The class was lovely with differentiated levels of moves and a good giggle. At the end I felt like I had a nice exercise and also rejuvinated by the relaxation. Thank you. Will be coming again!”

“I’d been thinking about starting a yoga class for quite a while, but I always felt a little apprehensive. Looking back, it was probably just a confidence thing (typical male! 😂). After doing a little bit of research I came across Dru With Ju Yoga on Facebook and sent Julie a message. She kindly gave me a call, reassured me that her classes were suitable for all ages and abilities, and explained that all the equipment was provided. With classes in Ilkeston and Heanor, they were also really convenient for where I live. So, I decided to give it a go. I honestly didn’t know what to expect, but I needn’t have worried. Julie and everyone in the class made me feel so welcome from the very first session. My main reason for wanting to start yoga was that I felt I was losing some of my flexibility. I’m 64, an avid walker, and had started experiencing problems with my hips, especially after longer walks. In 2025, I completed the Peak District Ultra Challenge, a 53km hike. Although I finished it, my recovery took quite a while, and my hips were really aching afterwards. I started attending Julie’s classes in February 2026, so it’s been about four and a half months now. Even in that relatively short time, I’ve noticed some fantastic benefits, including better sleep, improved flexibility and strength, better balance, and reduced stress. Every class is different, and I come away each week having learned a new movement or technique. The real proof came on Saturday 4th July, when I took part in this year’s Peak District Ultra Challenge. Not only did I complete it in my fastest time yet, but the best part was that I finished without any hip pain at all. I can’t recommend Julie’s classes highly enough. They’re welcoming, enjoyable, and genuinely suitable for people of all ages and abilities. If, like me, you’ve been thinking about giving yoga a try but haven’t quite had the confidence, I’d say go for it—you might be surprised at the difference it can make.”

“I am very fortunate to have found Julie & the Luna Shala studio in Ilkeston. Dru yoga is exactly the style I have been looking for. Julie keeps the sessions interesting whilst building us up to a routine and my balance & strength have improved even though I am not always able to attend every week. I really enjoy the meditations at either end of the class, I always look forward to class 🙂”

“DruwithJu yoga is the best yoga class I have ever done nothing I have tried in the past compares to her classes. Julie always takes care of you and has your back when you’re learning new techniques and different movements in yoga. Julie also Teaches chair yoga and outdoor yoga. I would thoroughly recommend any of her classes 🥰🩷”
