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.
About this workshop
One Year Older, 10 Years Younger
Transform Your Body's Age from the Inside Out
This New Year, instead of making short-lived resolutions to “get in shape” or “go to the gym”, discover why musculoskeletal pain isn't our destiny at any age. Join Esther Gokhale, founder of the Gokhale Method® and author of the Amazon bestseller 8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back, for a transformative one-hour workshop that will have you questioning everything you thought you knew about aging and body mechanics. Discover how traditional societies maintain pain-free movement well into their later years, and learn how to reclaim this birthright for yourself.
Why This Workshop Is Different:
- Learn why back pain, joint stiffness, and "age-related" discomfort aren't inevitable, no matter your age, work, or hobbies
- Understand how modern lifestyle has disconnected us from our body's natural design
- Learn how to turn everyday activities into strength-building opportunities
- Experience immediate relief through two powerful techniques that realign your body:
- A method for engaging your "inner corset" that protects your spine during activity
- A technique for repositioning your shoulders to release neck and upper back tension (and look younger)
- Understand the science behind our "life exercise" approach, which are currently being studied at Stanford University—an approach that builds strength and alignment naturally through everyday movements
“I was hanging insulation in my attic yesterday. I couldn’t find anyone to help so I tackled it alone. Getting down on my back and lifting up slightly to staple the insulation really engaged my inner corset and by anchoring my ribs to the floor I was able to do this effectively without strain; evidence in real time as to the benefits of what you are teaching. I could not have done that a year ago—and I am closing in on 65.” - David Johnston, Gokhale Method Teacher Trainee
This isn't about joining another gym or starting a stringent routine—just sustainable and life-changing tweaks to what you are doing anyway, re-embracing your body's natural design to create lasting change. You'll learn how to:
- Turn daily activities into opportunities for strengthening and stretching without setting aside extra time
- Move with confidence, strength, and natural grace, while preventing wear and tear on your joints
- Create lasting postural changes that help you look as good as you feel
