About this workshop

In this workshop, you’ll start to learn the why and the how of the Gokhale Method.

Do you: 

  • Find it difficult to sleep, sit, or stand comfortably?
  • Keep getting told back pain is “normal” for your age, body type, or lifestyle?
  • Not see lasting results from massage, chiropractic, or other therapies?
  • Want relief that doesn’t involve surgery or medication?

This 1-hour workshop will show you how to get started with the Gokhale Method and return to moving like you are meant to—free from pain. With simple adjustments to the way you stand, sleep, bend, and sit, you can transform your posture and address the cause of your back pain, not just the symptoms.  



“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!”

Your Teacher

Tegan Kahn's mother was in a serious car crash in the 1980s. She was in a coma for three days, and expected to be in pain for the rest of her life. One hour into the Gokhale Method Foundations course, she said "this is the longest I've sat without pain in 30 years." That’s when Tegan decided to train with Esther Gokhale to become a Gokhale Method teacher and share these life-changing techniques with others.

Gokhale Method Testimonials

  • Each Monday after a session with Tegan I feel so much better! I did more than two hours of pruning yesterday and had no additional aches and pains afterwards - in fact yesterday was the most pain-free day I’ve had for months. Thank you Tegan!

  • Andrew Howard, Canberra

    I attended the free Gokhale Method workshop Tegan conducted and after practicing the techniques Tegan taught have observed a significant reduction in back pain.

  • Tonya Haff, Canberra

    Great method, fantastic teacher. For me this method is pretty revolutionary because, as a mother of two young kids, I find it very hard to set aside time for self-care such as regularly completing physio exercises, attending yoga classes, etc.

    Tegan is a kind, friendly and approachable teacher, and she makes learning the methods as easy as possible. I read the book before I took the course, and I have been continually impressed by how much more I have gotten out of the method through her patient and clear instruction. She has made it much easier to integrate the small changes necessary to carry

  • Cam Le Hill, Canberra

    I have found knee issues going away as well as neck, back, and shoulder pain. My breathing is (much) better too. The course is a definite value add to the book as well. Highly recommended.

  • Kirsten Rees, Canberra

    I completed the free posture workshop with Tegan and it was awesome. I picked up quite a lot of useful techniques and different ways of thinking to improve my posture and help my shoulder and neck issues.

    I find I can sit for longer without pain and it's much easier to concentrate while working. Highly recommend seeing Tegan.

  • Sebastian Randerson, Canberra

    Tegan's detailed knowledge of the Gokhale Method and wonderful ability to impart that knowledge has helped me dial down chronic lower back pain in really big significant ways.

    One example of this, thanks to hip hinging, I am still marveling at my newfound ability to access objects at floor level without incurring pain. I found that the clarity and guidance Tegan bought to the Gokhale Method, for me was so much more effective than working through the book and video alone.

    With this personal guidance, I was able to really "get it" and I now have a new benchmark for living with less physical pain

  • SC; Foundations Course alumnus; Canberra

    I experienced my first pain-free days in as long as I can remember! These were two consecutive pain-free days about two weeks after commencing the course. And there have been more since!

    Having lived with back pain for over 10 years and tried many different treatments, I wanted to try something new/different and liked the theory behind the Gokhale Method — it made a lot of sense to me, however I was hesitant because of the time and financial commitment. 

    For someone that is busy with young children and not particularly disciplined, the wonderful thing about the Gokhale Method is that you don’t

  • Antonia Anderson; Canberra

    After only a few sessions I noticed that my feet no longer ache in the morning on getting out of bed. I was also able to start running again with no knee pain.

    I look forward to taking more of Tegan's classes - she has a real knack for explaining complex concepts in a very simple and straightforward way.

  • Georgina Price, Musician 

    I came to see Tegan suffering from chronic pain from a bulging disc in my lower back and quite severe sciatica. After one session my pain started to decrease and my mobility improved. I would recommend the Gokahle Method to anyone looking for ways to help with back pain and general mobility and posture.

  • Samantha Hughes, Department of Health

    Tegan is a very patient and encouraging teacher. I have really enjoyed (and benefited from!) my sessions with her.

  • Begoña Diaz-Muñoz, CIT

    Within two weeks of applying the Gokhale Method I was waking up with no pain.
