"8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back is a pleasure to read and a godsend to use. The lessons are easily accessible to anyone with an hour to spare. The account of why people in modern industrial society experience chronic lower-back pain is fascinating in its own right. The photographs of people sitting, standing, and lifting in a pre-industrial world are marvelously instructive and a joy to behold. While the principles of good posture are disarmingly simple, Esther Gokhale includes a wealth of pertinent detail to guide users through the eight lessons.
I used to have a lot of tension in my neck and shoulders. Since doing the posture work, I can't remember the last time I've had any discomfort at all.
The class improved my lower back pain as well as reshaped my body to a healthier position. I also like the abdominal exercises. Maya was an excellent teacher, enthusiastically helping people in the class. I definitely have a new outlook on posture. Thanks a lot, Maya.
I also used to contract headaches that clearly were related to poor posture, particularly staring at a computer screen. The training I received from Esther has greatly reduced the frequency of my headaches.
Maya is very kind and calm--she immediately made me feel at ease. I was initially skeptical that I could change my walking gait or that it would make a difference but with Maya's guidance, I found that I could indeed change it and that it felt great. I am amazed at how tall and strong I feel when I glidewalk.
"I am 85 years old and was pleasantly surprised to learn from the Gokhale Method that back pain is not inevitable. I now do my household chores without any pain at all, got rid of my knee pain and walk faster."
StretchsitTM is fantastic. There is nothing in the stores that works the same way. It is the perfect accessory for promoting healthy posture while driving. You will be lengthening your spine while you commute, sit in traffic and run errands.
"I had been suffering from sciatica, degenerating discs and spinal stenosis for almost four months. Esther began doing posture work with me and the results were quite dramatic. I recommend her with great enthusiasm."
I love this natural way of being in the world. The fact that I can improve my health with every step is very compelling. Keep up the teaching and spread the word. Everyone should be pain free!
"Logically based, compelling, and expertly delivered….I would like to see this approach become a part of standard care. Early access to this kind of intervention could have saved me a lot of pain and grief."
"In the free class, the instructor started us out stretchsitting which was very comfortable for my back and leg. I was amazed that I could sit pain-free for 45 minutes! The entire method has been a true revelation and I shall be using it for the rest of my life. I only wish I hadn't waited so long to take that free class!"
"I used to have a lot of tension in my neck and shoulders. Since doing the posture work, I can't remember the last time I've had any discomfort at all."
"The Gokhale Method opens up a new level of health even to those of us who spend most of our week at a desk. It takes no time to implement, yet it works for you 24/7."

I am delighted to see that the Gokhale Method is available in 8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back. My own sciatica started to fade away after the first stretchsitting lesson and eventually went away completely during the course.
