Gokhale Foundations

I attended the Gokhale Method Foundations classes with Kerri Robinson. I have had lifelong back pain and have always thought that's just the way it was. Kerri showed me that returning to the posture that nature intended can take away back pain, which it did: it is hugely reduced and getting better. The class is well-documented with videos, demos and hands-on teaching. I learned incredibly useful techniques that are literally life-changing. I feel great and am going to continue with the online University.

Kerri is a wonderful instructor and is so passionate about the Gokhale Method. She is not a...read more

Five-plus! Just completed Foundations Course with Kerri Robinson. I am so thankful that the Gokhale method exists! It is the only thing that has made any sense after 15 years of trying everything for back and hip pain. I feel as if I am finally learning how to use my body effectively--and without pain. The results are a bit miraculous while at the same time being grounded in everyday movements. I wish this class could be taught in schools so that young people could build these lifelong habits of movement early in their lives. The beauty of this method is how it becomes a part of your daily...read more

The three day workshop with Kerrie Robinson in Washing state was really rewarding and I am embracing the stretch sit position as I write this. Kerri was a very good teacher and patient with us. I am also much more aware of my head being forward and am able to make adjustments frequently. I wish there were a Gokhale teacher in Portland Oregon!! Any volunteers? Thank you, Kerri

The Gokhale Method aims to support positive posture change, by learning from and following posture from earlier times and more traditional cultures. I have found it to be most valuable, and the training is supportive to effectively correct habits which are not healthy. This method should be your first step in moving towards less pain and improved flexibility and strength, regardless of what your activities are. My in-person instructor was Kerri Robinson in Washington state, who is empathetic, organized, and clear in her teaching, and was willing to give additional instructions after class to...read more

I am fortunate to suffer neither pain nor restrictions to physical activity. As to personal foibles, that is a different matter! However, my wife does suffer from chronic back pain and has invested in Ms. Gokhale’s book and videos, and practices the techniques, as I do, at her invitation, which I find hard to refuse. Nevertheless, she considered that personal instruction would be invaluable and booked us a recent weekend Gokhale Method Foundation Course, instructed by Kerri Robinson, in Mukilteo, Washington. Prior to the course, Ms. Robinson reached out to us and provided valuable preparation...read more

I thoroughly enjoyed the Gokhale Method Foundation course with Kerri Robinson. She is an excellent teacher, very enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and is able to explain the techniques in various ways as to make them accessible to everyone.
I have been working to improve my posture through reading the Gokhale Method book, but coming to an in-person class has been so much more helpful. Kerri is warm and friendly, and her gentle hands-on patient approach has really helped me to improve my understanding and to begin implementing the Gokhale Method.

I have had back pain for maybe 10 or so years on and off, with episodes of being in bed for days. Now that I've had to Gokhale class, I understand the anatomy of and the exercises/postures to support the spine. I took the class live, which allowed me to see others and differences in people as well as getting the individual attention that only live can offer. Kerrie was so knowledgeable and caring, and I felt l was in good hands in every way. I practice the techniques in one way or another every single day so as to master the technique. Since taking the class, my back stiffness is mostly gone...read more
