Wyda, Yoga of the Druids Online Basic Course

Unveil de mysteries of longevity and good health of the Druids,

guided by the wisdom of the ancestors and nature herself.

֍ As a spiritual seeker do you feel lack of physical exercises in accordance with your believes, in harmony with nature and our celtic ancestors?

֍ Do you see Druidism as encarnated spirituality and you would like to enrich your rituals engaging your body as well?

֍ Do you wish to feel more strenght, vitality, flexibility as well as emotional balance and mental clarity?

My name is Darija Czibulková. I am a Yoga, Dance and Meditation teacher, as well as a Coach specialized in Health and wellbeing. I started dancing as a little girl and practicing Yoga regularly at the age of 26. I have been guiding other people in their practice since 2011, creating my own method called EcoYoga. I constantly broaden my knowledge about yoga, dance, spirituality, alternative therapies, psychology, coaching, druidism and a long etcetra.
One part of my method is Wyda, Yoga of the Druids. I started to practice Wyda in 2005 when I learned about it in a book Wyda: die Kraft der Druiden (Wyda: The strenght of the Druids) by Aljoscha A. Schwarz, Ronald P. Schweppe and Wolfgang M. Pfau.

My deepest aim in life is to help others to feel well. Show them how to enhance their health, wellbeing, self esteem and spirituality through yoga, dancing, meditation and other techniques. Teach them to respect themselves, others and all the living beings we share the planet with.
Spread reverence for life in all its forms.

My most appreciated values are
֍ freedom- when teaching yoga, I respect the rhythms, shapes and views of every body (what works for one person, doesn´t necessarily work for the other)
֍ love: towards ourselves and all beings we share the world with
֍ coherence: ethics and responsibility in all our acts
֍ wellbeing on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level
֍ spirituality and creativity

I wish to lead an ethical spiritual life guided by the wisdom of the ancestors and nature herself. Therefore I practice and teach Wyda, a system of physical and energetic exercises, similar to Yoga. A unique system, the only known to be practiced by the Druids, that contributes to a mayor physical, emotional and mental wellbeing. Today I offer you these exercises, so simple and yet so powerful, so you too can embody the spiritual beliefs of Druidism.

The exercises of Wyda are simple and yet so powerful. I will guide you step by step through online sessions in this twelve weeks course. You will also have your material with written instructions and videos. There is an extra individual online lesson at the end of the course to clarify all your doubts.

I learned that the word WYDA comes from old Gaelic and means “to go through the veil”. The veil represents the belief in the limitations of our own minds and bodies, as well as the limitations of the realities we impose on ourselves.

To sum up what Wyda is about:

W: Widen your spiritual horizons

Y: Yes to here and now, embodied spirituality

D: Do follow your nature. It knows the way.

A: Are you ready to go through the veil?

Wyda is for you if you are...
֍ a practicioner of some of the natural spiritual ways, such as Druidism or Neodruidism, pantheist, pagan, neopagan practices or Wicca and you want to enrich your rituals with practical physical exercise

֍ a practicioner of other psycho-physical and energetic systems such as indian Yoga, chinese Chi kung, Tibetan Yoga, Tensegridad of Castaneda or Zdravo of the Slavic peoples and you are open to learn about other cultures

֍ a person who is new to physical or spiritual practice but is looking for health and wellbeing on physical, emotional and mental level

I offer you this 12-weeks online course to learn the 33 exercises (carraigs) of Wyda step by step. They correspond to three levels of learning: Strenghtening of the three energetic centres, Harmonizing of the three energetic centres and Unifying them.
You will also have access to material with written instructions and videos. There is a special one-to-one online sesson at the end of the course to explain all your doubts.

BONUS 1: your personal journal to write down all the changes you will experience during the process of learning and practicing the exercises of WYDA.

BONUS 2: a free PDF version of the book on Wyda translated into English.

BONUS 3: 3% of the price course will be donated to plant trees

This is the only known system of exercises to be practiced by the Druids. There is very little written information on the topic, most of it can be found in the book Wyda: die Kraft der Druiden (Wyda: The strenght of the Druids) by Aljoscha A. Schwarz, Ronald P. Schweppe and Wolfgang M. Pfau. Actually I am working on its translation into Spanish and English. Once it is published, you will get a free PDF copy with your course.

Frequent questions and answers.

֍ Was Wyda really practiced by the Druids and passed on from pupil to pupil orally?
There exists almost no written evidence of this system. To be fair, there is no proof of its authenticity apart from the trustworthiness of the authors Schwarz, Schweppe and Pfau who have written several books on spirituality.

֍ Can I practice Wyda if I am not a follower of Druidism or Wicca?
Of course, Wyda is a system of physical and energetic exercises that contributes to a mayor physical, emotional and mental wellbeing without the need of any religious belief.

֍ Can I practice Wyda if I am elderly or have some kind of illness or handicap?
Yes, most of the exercises are very simple and can be adapted to any body condition. Anyway, it is not necessary to practice all the exercises to get the benefits, but yes, it is important to practice regularly.

֍ Can wyda be taught in such a short time? It takes years to become bards, then ovates and finally druids...
I will only teach you the exercises, and make sure you do them correctly. Then your individual practice will start and go on as long as you wish. I personally think it is a lifelong process.

֍ Is learning online the best way?
Of course, learning online is not as good as it would be in person, but in these times of pandemic it is the best we have. I will explain all the exercises step by step in a live session. later you can watch again the recorded session or the videos and you will also get written instructions. And after the last session i will give each pupil and indivudual session to explain all the doubts they might have.

֍ Is learning online difficult?
I will make it as easy as possible, even for the not-friends-with-the-technology kind of people. You will need to have connection to the internet via your PC, tablet or smartphone, install a free app and thats it!

֍ Can the practice of Wyda do me harm?
Not at all. If it is practiced according to the instructions, the possibility óf being harmed is zero.

֍ Is there a refund guarantee?
I believe that you will enjoy practicing wyda. Still, if you are not happy with the course after the first lesson, you will be refunded 100%.
