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

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.
