Bio

Gloria Drayer is known for the intuition, empathy and compassion she brings with her role as a certified Kripalu yoga instructor. She focuses her students on the present moment and encourages them to accept themselves as they are. 

Everyone is allowed to work at their own comfort level and make the progress they can in a non-competitive environment.

 

      

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.

Classes are offered for all levels. Kripalu yoga develops the body, mind and spirit in a compassionate non- judgmental way while honoring your body's needs in each moment.

In addition, she is 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 led classes at the Natural Gourmet cooking school in New York.
