Free Workshop

About this workshop

In this workshop, you’ll be introduced to the why and the how of the Gokhale Method. Every workshop is different, in order to best address the attendees’ needs. Workshops often begin by showing you how to stretchsit. This is a way of sitting that puts your back in gentle traction, easing compression in your spine and stretching out tight or spasmed back muscles.

Other techniques taught in this workshop will begin to help you:

  • Reduce or eliminate back, neck, muscle and joint pain
  • Prevent muscle and joint degeneration and injury
  • Increase your energy, stamina, and flexibility
  • Reduce stress and improve your appearance


Effects are often immediate and last a lifetime.



“Several months ago, when I first heard about the Gokhale Method from a friend who is an occupational therapist, I considered taking one of the free classes to get a better idea of what it entailed. However, I kept putting it off thinking that I should wait until my back felt better. After all, how was I going to sit for an hour and a half in a classroom when I couldn’t even sit 10 minutes in my own home due to severe sciatica pain? Finally I decided to attend one of the free classes thinking that I would just stand in the back of the room if the pain became too intolerable. The instructor started us out by teaching the stretchsitting technique which, to my great surprise, was very comfortable for my back and leg. Imagine my amazement when I realized that I had sat pain-free for 45 minutes! Now I am taking the course learning new positions for walking, lying, standing, bending, and more. The entire Method has been a true revelation, and I shall be using it for the rest of my life to promote good back health. I only wish I hadn't waited so long to take that free class!”

Gokhale Method Testimonials

  • The class that Lisa led has had a big impact on my daily life. Working on incorporating it all. Lisa is a good teacher with a lot of knowledge and can show the technique and also make you understand. There was a lot of laughter intermingled with the learning. Looking forward to the refresher class in November!

  • I took the in-person foundations course with Lisa in Hawaii. She is an excellent teacher, knowledgeable not only about the Gokhale method but about the body. She has the background knowledge to respond to student's individual needs. I got a great deal out of it.

  • Having had bad posture and some back pain for most of my life and having tried many modalities, I was initially skeptical. Lisa's introduction in the first class was clear, simple and made absolute sense to me and I realized that profound change was possible if I applied myself to this method. The class is a mixture of explanation, demonstration and hands-on application with tools and techniques to explore one's individual needs. It was inspiring to hear of Lisa's journey with her own posture. She taught our group in a relaxed yet confident way, with opportunity for differing bodies and
