Continuing Education - Further Develop Your Skills (Glidewalking class)

Esther Gokhale is incredibly patient in helping people in pain unlearn decades of bad habits and move from bad posture to body awareness. She brings her students a wealth of knowledge from decades of close observation of walking, standing, sitting, and lifting patterns (in contemporary populations all over the globe, as well as in books and art that point to a more aligned past). She also offers graduates access to regular online training and a library of helpful resources. Gokhale training is not just for people in pain, but for anyone with questions and curiosity about human movement.

For the last two years I had severe sciatica pain down the backs of both of my legs to the point where I was in constant pain and could barely walk. I also had a sore neck and was using a mechanical neck traction device daily.

After decades as an international athlete and a Silicon Valley CEO, I developed a debilitating, ice-pick pain in my butt which woke me up every few hours at night. I am 80 years old.

I was able to eliminate this pain in just one month by working directly from Esther’s book. Since then, my wife Pam and I have both benefited greatly from attending a Pop-up Course and private lessons with Esther.

The Gokhale Method, developed by Esther Gokhale, is deceptively simple. It’s physical and is straightforward and, for most, requires repetition and practice to replace old with new. I had the good fortune to meet Esther just after I began to experience nerve pain. Exercises learned in the Foundations Course were immediately beneficial, reducing nerve pain to the vanishing point and improving my balance and confidence. The Gokhale Method rewards its practitioners. I highly recommend it.
