About this workshop

The Pop-up Course is a relatively new Gokhale Method offering that is earning high praise from participants. It includes 6 hours of group instruction, a one-hour discussion over lunch, and a private 30-minute online follow-up session for each participant. All participants use our newly developed SpineTracker™ wearable to get a real-time read of the shape of their spines while learning improved ways of sitting, standing, bending, lifting, walking, and exercising. Each participant receives a pdf copy of 8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back, a live-streamed copy of our DVD Back Pain: The Primal Posture™ Solution, and a Stretchsit® cushion. The Pop-up Course is taught by two qualified Gokhale Method teachers and is limited to 20 participants to allow for plenty of hands-on coaching.

–Dolores F. Kincaid, Registrar, Cantor Arts Center



“I took a full one-day Gokhale Method class at Stanford and was very pleased with it. I started using my new knowledge right away and got quick relief from back soreness I had. I highly recommend this class to everyone, whether or not you currently have a back problem.”

-Olga Raykina, Computing Info Systems Analyst at Stanford University
