I learned the Gokhale method from Kate Potter last year and it has made a tremendous difference in my ability to sit and move without back pain. Kate is a clear, confident and very reassuring teacher who takes obvious joy in sharing this work. There is a lot to learn, and the encouragement to take it one step at a time, the ongoing online movement support and reminders through the Gokhale website, and brief “tune-ups” under Kate’s observing eye continue to provide me with relief and the strength of a healthy posture.

“Every year tens of thousands of patients undergo major back surgery without any benefit. By using the novel techniques of the Gokhale Method, many of these patients can avoid such needless and expensive medical procedures and quickly return to a pain-free life.”

"Although stunningly simple, the Gokhale Method™ turns much of conventional wisdom about pain and posture on its head. Each session of the course gave immediate results and I now look forward to many years of a healthy neck and back."
