Required text: 8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back.



“In six sessions I felt transformed. The approach is stunningly simple and confers immediate results. I wholeheartedly endorse this program.”

        - Deirdre Stegman, M.D. Internal Medicine, Palo Alto Medical Foundation


“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.”

        - John R. Adler, Neurosurgeon, Stanford University Medical Clinic, Stanford, CA


"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."

        - Joan Baez, folk singer and activist, Woodside, CA

Your Teacher

Kate Potter’s passion for traditional ways led her to the Gokhale Method. She was drawn to the photos of people around the world, contemporary and historical, working and living with good posture -- our human birthright! Kate rarely experiences the back and neck pain she used to have. In addition, she finds people respond to her differently since she has improved her posture. Kate is a caring teacher, who loves helping people figure out their bodies.

Gokhale Method Testimonials

  • 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.
