Meet Johanna
Johanna litt über zehn Jahre lang unter chronischen Schmerzen im unteren Rücken, die Sport, Autofahrten und sogar einfache Spaziergänge zur Qual machten. Besuche bei Sportmedizinern, Physiotherapeuten und Chiropraktoren brachten keine dauerhafte Lösung. Nachdem sie auf die Gokhale Method aufmerksam wurde, war sie innerhalb weniger Monate schmerzfrei.
Beeindruckt von der Effektivität der Methode und fasziniert von der Idee einer ursprünglichen, für den Menschen natürlichen Körperhaltung, beschloss Johanna, sich 2022 von Esther Gokhale als Lehrerin ausbilden zu lassen, um das wertvolle und uralte Wissen um gesunde Körperhaltung weiterzugeben.
Johanna arbeitet außerdem im Marketing für eine große Lebensmittelmarke und verbringt ihre Freizeit gerne in der Natur. Sie kann wieder schmerzfrei wandern, joggen und Yoga machen und liebt es, zu kochen, zu backen und zu fermentieren.
Mit großer Begeisterung teilt sie ihre eigenen Erfahrungen rund um einen gesunden Rücken und gibt ihr Wissen über eine gesunde Körperhaltung gerne an andere weiter.
Johanna suffered from chronic lower back pain for more than ten years, which made sports, car rides and even simple walks a torture. Visits to sports physicians, physical therapists and chiropractors brought no lasting solution. After becoming aware of the Gokhale Method, she was pain-free within a few months.
Impressed by the effectiveness of the method and fascinated by the idea of an original posture that is natural for humans, Johanna decided to be trained as a teacher by Esther Gokhale in 2022 to pass on the valuable and ancient knowledge of healthy posture.
Johanna also works in marketing for a major food brand and enjoys spending her free time in nature. She is able to hike, jog and do yoga again without pain and loves to cook, bake and ferment.
She is very enthusiastic about sharing her own experiences around a healthy back and enjoys passing on her knowledge about healthy posture to others.
