Yoga Simple and Sacred

I remember when I first found Gloria years ago. I had not done yoga since I was in college and I was amazed to see women much older than I doing wonderful things with their bodies. This encouraged me and gave me confidence that I could begin a practice.
Gloria is so encouraging and gentle while also providing challenge. She taught me many modifications so that I always feel safe in her classes, knowing I will not injure myself.
A few years ago I went to Costa Rica with her in a group and it was one of the best trips I’ve ever taken. She’s well organized but also laid back. It was held in a remote area in a rain forest — absolutely beautiful and peaceful.
Gloria offers her classes with kindness and warmth, and approaches yoga in a completely non-​judgmental way. I’m so grateful I found her. I highly recommend Gloria, and her classes and trips.

I just returned from a weekend yoga retreat in Jemez Springs, New Mexico with Gloria. Although I have practiced yoga for the last 20 years, this was my first retreat, but certainly not my last! Gloria has a true gift in teaching both the physical practice of yoga as well as the spiritual. I returned from the weekend refreshed, rejuvenated, and inspired.
In addition to the relaxing yoga sessions, all the aspects of the retreat were handled extremely well. The place was wonderful, the food was great, there was a nice balance of free time and scheduled activities. My only wish is that I would have discovered this long ago! I highly recommend Gloria’s retreat to everyone.

Gloria is a wonderful teacher — patient, kind, calming and very aware that some students have limitations. Not only are my muscles stretched and lengthened during her yoga classes, my body is also strengthened in the poses. She always presents modifications if you just cannot get fully into the pose that day. As a massage therapist, Gloria’s yoga classes are imperative to keep me loose and pain free.

Gloria Drayer’s yoga classes always leave me feeling refreshed and calm. She is great with both beginners and more advanced students. In each pose she offers options to go further and deeper. She’s very welcoming of all body types and interested in each student’s particular concerns. At the same time, she lets you do what you want and offers corrections only when they are obviously needed.
