She challenges her students to gently go to their edge - breath by breath. She has lived and taught at Kripalu, the country's largest yoga and holistic health
center located in Massachusetts and currently holds a 500-hour certification
with Kripalu and Yoga Alliance. In 2008, she studied the Sri

Yoga
develops the body, mind and spirit in a compassionate non- judgmental way
while honoring your body's needs in each moment.
Gloria is also a certified Shiatsu practitioner. This
Japanese form of bodywork is designed to release energy blocks throughout
the body. Applying pressure with the hands on certain points of the body
allow the body’s energies to flow naturally again.
Since 2005 Gloria has lead international retreats attended
by her students from here in New Mexico and yoga enthusiasts from across
the country. Word has gotten out about how wonderful it is to travel the
world and practice yoga in fantastic locations – like sunrise at the new
"Wonder of the World" Machu Picchu in Peru or during the full moon in a
remote rain forest in Costa Rica. The groups are generally no larger than
20 people. If the interest is very great, the number of students is not
increased, instead additional trips are added. Peru was so successful in
2007 Gloria led two separate retreats. In 2010 Gloria will journey from
Central and South American to Asia ~ Stay Tuned!
Natural gourmet cooking is another area of Gloria's expertise, which she enjoys sharing with her students.
She is certified and has led classes at the Natural Gourmet cooking school in New York.
