Free Workshop

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!”

  • Neha

    I used to work all day in a hunched sitting position, which had made my posture quite bad. The course opened my eyes to all the ways I can support myself by correctly sitting, standing, and sleeping. Walking feels much better, and I get a good stretch each time I take a step.

    Meenakshi was an excellent teacher, very perceptive, helpful, and insightful. 

  • Seng Deong

    Gokhale Method helps in correcting our postures through precise instructions and explanation. Most of the techniques can be integrated into our daily routines and thus after some time they become part of our life. The last lesson revised techniques learned and holistically links them up to form a set of effective techniques in getting back the right postures our ancestors had before the industrial revolution.  Meenakshi is a good and friendly instructor in not just imparting the techniques concisely to us but also help us in identifying and resolving our posture problems.

  • Sandhya Sundar, Singapore

    I have been suffering from debilitating back pain for a few years and no treatment / therapy was having a long term effect. After I took the Gokhale Method Foundations Course and started incorporating it into my daily activities, I started feeling better slowly and steadily.

    The course is very logical, but it is ultimately up to the individual to apply the techniques learnt in a conscious manner. With time it is bound to become second nature!

    My teacher Meenakshi is meticulous in her approach and her strength lies in her knowledge, patient yet firm approach, and the ability to give confidence

  • Thyagi Thyagarajan, Singapore

    I was introduced to the Gokhale Method after I underwent back surgery in May 2016. After doing the Foundations Course with Esther Gokhale I had follow-up sessions in Singapore with Meenakshi Harjai, a qualified Gokhale Method teacher, from time to time. My chronic back condition has improved significantly and while it is still work in progress, I must thank Meenakshi for her empathetic approach and practical help in fine tuning my practice of the Gokhale Method. I am convinced that this is the best approach to improve one's spinal health, and I have no hesitation in recommending Meenakshi as a
