Rarely do you find an activity that simultaneously calms the mind, strengthens the body, and uplifts the soul. I have found that yoga does all of this for me, and I have made it one of my life goals to share yoga's benefits with other people. I have studied for more than 200 hours under the tutelage of the internationally known yoga teachers at the Avalon Yoga Studio in Palo Alto and have achieved certification with the Yoga Alliance.
I am certified with 100 hours of training to teach Yoga Tune Up, an integrative yoga therapy developed and created by Jill Miller. I have also trained for over 200 hours with Lee Holden to teach Qi Gong. On the first day of Yoga Tune Up Level 1 teacher training, I learned that I will always continue to be a student of my practice as it helps me live better in my body.

Gloria is amazing and love her class. She fosters a supportive environment to learn the foundation of Yoga and practice mindfulness.I feel the benefits of the class in terms of my overall flexibility, focus and positive energy after class. I look forward to Gloria's class and would absolutely recommend it to anyone!

I have been doing yoga with Gloria once a week for over a year now. She changes the classes up depending on the requests of the students and keeps us all on our toes. I really appreciate how she presents varying levels of adjustment and helps us move into more challenging poses when those are available to us in our practice.
Highly recommend Gloria!

I started doing yoga with Gloria almost a year ago. As someone who had not done yoga formally before, I found her class challenging but refreshing. Each class she would work on different areas of the body (i.e. balance poses, back and shoulders, or core work) that would be integrated into her classes. She does a good job showing moves differently for people with different skills levels and really emphasizes you doing what feels good in your body rather than what a pose should look like.
After a year of doing yoga, i feel alot stronger in my body and greater mental composure. I look forward to

Love Yoga with Gloria
I never took yoga before and read prenatal yoga was great exercise for pregnancy, so I did a yelp search and found Gloria. I have been taking prenatal yoga privately for 12 weeks and love it. This is my 3rd pregnancy and I wish I would have done it with the other 2. I have no lower back pain, I feel energized and so peaceful. Gloria is wonderful. She created a workout that suits me and my needs and still makes it different each week. The atmosphere is always peaceful and soothing and she even will make adjustments during workout if I want to work on a specific body part

Gloria is a fantastic yoga/insanity and overall fitness coach. I have been going to Gloria's Sunday yoga classes for about a year now, and attending her Insanity classes for the last 3 months. I will review both here.
Yoga: Gloria is a very patient and dedicated instructor. We are usually a small group on Sundays, ranging from 6 to 8 yogis. This allows Gloria to walk around the class, paying attention to everyone's postures, and correcting them if need be. Her classes are truly for everyone: for those new to yoga and those with more experience. Gloria will offer suggestions for modifications

I had never done yoga but wanted to explore the practice when I found out I was pregnant. I am so happy to have found Gloria to work with for private prenatal sessions. Before our 1st session, Gloria wanted to make sure she tailored the practice to my needs and asked great questions to ensure I would be happy and to meet my goals.
Since I started with Gloria, I have also taken some group classes and nothing compares. It's amazing how she can make little adjustments to my body making the session so much more useful. In a large class setting you don't get the individual attention to

Gloria is an amazing instructor! She is able to run the lesson so that people with any level of experience (including friends of mine with zero experience) are suitably challenged but never over-exerted. For every position she'll offer an easier alternative for anyone that needs it. I've been going almost a year now. I never really saw myself as a yoga person, but it really is good for the mind, core strength and flexibility. I think what I like most is that Gloria has a friendly little group where everyone knows each other and a gorgeous venue with wooden floors and a high ceiling -

Love her classes!
Right now, the classes are small, so you get a lot of personal attention. Gloria is very flexible (ha ha) and changes the classes to provide variety and modifies her routine to accommodate the needs of the students. She does a mix of hatha and vinyasa yoga, and the routines improve strength, flexibility and balance. She provides blocks - helpful to the not-so-flexible - and always brings some mats, too.
She is warm, approachable and funny, but she also has a spiritual side, and we begin and end with breathing and/or meditation exercises. After a very stressful day, I felt
