Spiritual and spirited, Hatha Yoga instructor Gloria McCartney (Radha), offers over 25 five years of teaching experience in the U. S., Canada and the Bahamas. Board Certified by the Sivananda International Organization, she currently conducts classes at several Chicago locations-all of them featuring her unique blend of ancient discipline and street-smart savvy. (One writer has described her classes as "yoga that puts your head in the clouds but keeps your feet on the ground.") Classes include proper exercise, relaxation, breathing, a proper (natural diet), and a positive mental attitude. Especially stressed is non-competiveness, allowing one to start at anytime in the regular open classes. At the end of one session, there is a noticeable difference in one’s energy reserves brought about by the five points to a healthy life: proper breathing, stretching and relaxation, natural diet and positive mental attitude.
