Hi, I'm Alison Hughes
Here's a little information about my background.
I began my Yoga journey in 2004, when I was searching for natural therapies to assist me in coping with the challenges of living with chronic pain. I will be forever grateful to have found Dru Yoga.
I completed my Diploma and have enjoyed teaching since 2008. In addition, I completed my Diplomas in Holistic Therapies, Aromatherapy and Nutrition. In 2015, I was introduced to Qigong and I completed my Teachers Certification in 2020.
I believe in a Holistic approach to enjoy optimal health and wellbeing and this is reflected in my classes.
It is my passion to help others improve their quality of life physically, mentally and emotionally.
My classes are suitable for all ages and levels of flexibility. Please do not hesitate to contact me for further information.
I look forward to meeting you soon.
Aum Shanti,
Alison x
About Our Classes
Qigong Yoga Flow classes are a Fusion of
Dru Yoga & Qigong
Combining ancient wisdom with modern science, both practices involve the cultivation of energy in the body through flowing movements, suitable for all levels of flexibility.
The fundamental belief of Yoga and Qigong is the existence of a vital life force energy that permeates all beings and processes in the world.
The goal of both practices is to cultivate and promote the flow of this energy through a variety of physical postures, breath techniques, and guided relaxation.
The ultimate objective of Qigongyogaflow is to promote health and wellbeing.

Dru Yoga
Dru represents our 'inner still point'. Finding that place of peace, joy & freedom. Dru Yoga is based on traditional Indian Hatha Yoga. Practice includes flowing movements, yoga asanas (postures), mudras (hand gestures), directed breathing, visualisation and affirmations. Energy Block Release Sequences have been carefully designed to release tension, rejuvenating your whole being.
Qigong
Qigong is an ancient Chinese Health Care System. Qigong (pronounced chi gong) literally means "life energy work". It is a system of self healing that combines slow, gentle movements with breath and mindfulness, to encourage free flow of Qi through our meridians (energy pathways). Practice increases vitality, balances emotions and creates inner harmony.
