Hi. I’m Gloria, Author of ‘Real Food For Real Bodies’
and I am dedicated to helping both you and your animals develop your true potential through a Somatic Lens.
Everything you’ll learn through my teachings is through a Somatic Lens.
I work with the same principles for you, your horse, and other vertebrate animals. I use a combination of Somatic neuroscience and Yoga Therapy called SEVA™ for all animals.
(Somatic Education for Vertebrate Animals).
You can find out how SEVA™ works here.
I am a Graduate of The Novato Institute for Somatic Research and Training. I’ve lectured and given demonstrations in Portugal, Norway, Costa Rica, and all over the U.S., to veterinarians, surgeons, chiropractors, physical therapists, Osteopaths, Rescue Center Founders, and forward thinking Yogis.
At heart, I’m a country girl who loves to kitchen dance and share with my fellow humans how I see the world.
I can’t help it. I was born that way. If you’d love to be a GH Insider you’re invited to be part of my community where you’ll receive cool stuff that I don’t share anywhere else. Join below.
How I help: A SEVA™ Method Equine Success Story
Relationship Building and
Easing the High-Strung Horse
Gloria worked with my high-strung, “spooky” mare, and as she worked with her, my horse began to relax, dropping her head and closing her eyes.
It was magical to watch!
The ability for me to build a relationship with this mare using these techniques and movements were priceless! Gloria has been such a blessing to me and my equine friends! I feel that she has given me gifts that will keep on giving by teaching me to slow down and become aware of subtleties, both in myself and my horse.
Become a GH Insider, where you’ll become part of my community, and receive cool stuff that I don’t share anywhere else. Join below to become part of the creative collective. It’s a place where your body rules, your heart can play, and your mind can rest. All delivered to your inbox with love.
Frequently Asked Questions
I live far away. Can you still help?
Yes! I’ve been doing this for decades and I recognize the value of technology to help people all over the world.
I was an early adopter of communication tools like Skype (and now Zoom), refining my technique to work equally as well remotely as if in person.
Contact me today through this form or email me at info@gloriahester.com to see how this can work for you!
Do you do group workshops or classes?
I do both workshops and classes, here in the US and abroad. If you’re interested in attending, please sign up for my (infrequent, junk-free!) emails to be notified of upcoming dates when they schedule.
You can do that through this form or just send me an email to info@gloriahester.com.
I'm not sure this is for me. Is this yoga for horses and dogs?
SEVA™ (Somatic Education for Vertabrate Animals) can be a benefit for humans and their animals- both as individuals and companions.
Using a combination of scientific and holistic principles to restore physical health helps reduce stress and increase comfort and relaxation in humans and animals as individuals.
Once you remove these physical barriers, you create the opportunity for a more harmonius relationship between humans and their animal companions.
Can I learn to do this myself?
Yes! I strongly encourage interested people to contact me about SEVA™ facilitator training. I currently offer a 2 hour fundamentals training done remotely over Zoom and a 10 Module, 200 hour training.
The 2 hour fundamentals training is great for those both experienced or inexperienced in the healing arts such as Yoga. Each skill level will get something unique out of the training. You can find out more here on this page.
