I’ve recently moved to Fort Collins, CO and a few months after arriving I experienced a flare up of my sciatica. I am so grateful that there is a Gokhale Method teacher in Greeley (David Haining), less than an hour away. I completed the in person fundamentals class in CA back in 2015 but I never quite got the hang of glidewalking. I managed to do fairly well with my back for 9 years but with the stress of the move and the upending of my self care routines (including exercising) I found myself in severe pain and with no...read more

“High quality instruction. I'm benefitting already. If you have back pain or are concerned about your posture, you need to contact a Gokhale Method instructor like David Haining. You don't have to live with pain, no matter how long you've had it.”
 

"I took the Gokhale Method Elements Course with David Haining.  This course was more than I expected!  I was familiar with Gokhale from a previous course over 10 years ago and due to many trips and falls while trail running, I knew I was out of alignment and wanted to get back to the Gokhale basics.  With David, his approach in teaching is clear, concise, and easy to follow.  The visuals and his demonstrations were also key.  A big change for me was after learning stretch-lying - I wrote in a note to him:  I always wake up with a little twinge in my low back, or hips (piriformis syndrome) and...read more

The Gokhale Method® is a life-changing modality. I used to have near-constant low-grade back pain, could never find a comfortable way to sit for very long, and slept quite poorly. In 6 weeks, so much of that has changed. My back only starts to grumble near the end of my workday as a massage therapist; I can comfortably sit with my Stretchsit® Cushion in the simplest of chairs or in my car for long periods; and stretchlying has taken me from waking up several times a night to sleeping almost the whole night through. I obviously haven't perfected the techniques yet, but I have learned a lot, and...read more

I'm in my 60's and trying to correct chronic postural issues that have caused back and neck pain. I referred to the Gokhale Method book for years, then completed training with David Haining in Greeley, CO. I found the hands-on training to be very comprehensive, and David's guidance was valuable - enough feedback for me to absorb, but no too much, and very clear. I highly recommend this training.

I think my three words above describe my feelings well.  I find the Gokhale method to be very complex.  There is so much to learn and think about.  I need to spend a lot of time reviewing the postures and changing the way I posture.  I trust the method more than anything else I've ever learned about posture.  It is foundational in the sense that it activates the entire body.  I am not just straightening my back.  Every part of my body is affected by my posture and must be adjusted to achieve correct posture.  I am excited for the results I will get as I learn to make the correct movements and...read more
