Gladys Smith – Clayton Yoga Teacher Trainer

Gladys believes that wellness and balance in an individual’s life can be achieved through mindfulness practices and learning to accept the true you. Gladys Smith is an experienced world traveler, with over twenty years in the Army, a wellness counselor for over twenty years, and also an educator and counselor currently at Webster University.

Gladys finds yoga to be a great avenue and finds yoga provides tremendous benefit to others. Gladys approach has been called by other students: fun, loving, innovative and confident. According to Gladys, Yoga gives us the ability to go inside and honor what we find. Not so easily swayed by what is happening in the external world, we find the positive, reassuring and supportive energies once again.

Gladys believes that transformation and awesome living, come about by our own action steps! Everyone can practice. Helping her clients to become empowered through mindfulness is exciting and fun! When we look within, we can discover, that we, too, are sacred. The ability to return to this place at will and not be swayed by what’s going on in our environment according to yoga is called self-mastery.

Gladys Smith has spent the past twenty years in the wellness field, absorbing, learning and sharing her wisdom with many. Providing simple, yet continuous and challenging asanas improves ones attitude toward everyday change.

In the “Healing Feeling” workshops, Gladys loves to bring folks together and her positive energy and leadership often signal a time when everyone can simply drop their shoulders and let their bricks down. She loves to practice heartfelt exercises that help people reconnect with their true calling.

When students find a new soul centered way to view their story, they quickly realize healthier choices and manifest better outcomes. Gladys has one exercise that asks everyone to draw a tiny heart. Next to the tiny heart, not to censor, but to get peaceful and then to write out important events, people and situations that have made the greatest impact in their life. In honoring these places, we become “in tune” with our true calling, and are able to draw about greater life force.

Gladys feels that her best students keep an open mind and see life as an adventure. The benefits of attending a workshop like this, give validation, strength and encouragement to unique differences, stories and outlook.
