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.
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, during the full moon in a remote rain forest in Costa Rica, or under the Tuscan sun. 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. Future journies will include 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.
