I recently attended a wonderful Gokhale Method refresher course led by Esther Gokhale, who thoughtfully tailored the activities to address each participant’s specific needs. For me, the most valuable lessons focused on my long-standing challenges—walking, weak ankles, stair climbing, and balance.Esther guided us through practical exercises, both indoors and outside on sidewalks and steps, providin…
I'm very thankful to my osteopath, Tracy who suggested to me to take the Gokhale Method course.
This course gives something unique that never before was available; it is derived from ancient life of living.
The method is a simple way to hold our body nice and tall. It maintains easily good posture and strengthens the body by using some simple skills.
Good posture is a positive influence on the in…

I have had back pain for maybe 10 or so years on and off with episodes of being in bed for days. Now that I've had to Gokhale class, i understand the anatomy of
and the exercises/postures to support the spine. I took the class live, which allowed me to see others and differences in people as well as getting the individual attention that only live can offer. Kerrie was so knowledgeable and carin…

I recently took an intensive weekend Gokhale course in Oakville, ON, Canada. Although there was a wealth of information to teach and put into practice, Lang expertly disseminated this material into manageable and digestible nuggets. I appreciated the many connections Lang made to our every day living. The follow up emails are extremely helpful in keeping us on track post workshop. In addition, dir…
The body awareness that I have gotten from my Gokhale Foundations Course that I took with Cynthia in NYC is like the awareness that I get from Feldenkrais classes--but on steroids! My eyes have been opened to how I habitually hold many different parts of my body (and even how the way I sleep reinforces my daily posture!), and I now have simple techniques to put my body in a more efficient alignmen…

I thoroughly enjoyed the Gokhale Method Foundation course with Kerri Robinson. She is an excellent teacher, very enthusiastic and knowledgeable and is able to explain the techniques in various ways as to make them accessible to everyone.
I have been working to improve my posture through reading the Gokhale Method book but coming to an in person class has been so much more helpful. Kerri is warm an…
Christine is a patient, thorough, and highly effective teacher. She clearly explains each step and builds a strong foundation through each session. The Gokhale Method is already helping my posture and daily movement, thanks to her dedication and skill. Christine is truly an outstanding instructor.

I recently took the Foundations course and received one-on-one instruction from Amy Smith in SC; she is a wonderful teacher of the Gokhale Method and I immensely enjoyed working with her. Amy is very effective at instructing students on how to implement the techniques for proper sitting, walking, standing, lying and bending in an easy-to-follow manner. She is supportive, enthusiastic and offers …
Kerri Robinson was informative, deeply knowledgeable, kind and sensitive. She teaches/shares her knowledge of the Gokhale Method such that you know what a difference it has made for her and so many others. Just practicing on my own from the book turned around my long standing chronic pain in only weeks. Now that I have a deeper understanding from taking a workshop with Kerri, I'm confiddent I'll b…

As a massage therapist for 20 years, I've worked with many people suffering from back pain and poor posture. It can be difficult to tease out what is actually causing the pain, which makes it difficult to treat (as so many with back pain know too well). After taking The Gokhale Foundations Course with Esther 6 weeks ago, my first suggestion now to all my clients who struggle with back pain and/or …

My wife and I recently took the Foundations Course with Esther Gokhale, and also just completed a refresher course with her. We were primarily interested in improving our posture and learning to maintain it so that we can remain active and pain free as we get older. The techniques she teaches are so simple, practical and easy to incorporate into our daily lives, and we've both seen noticeable impr…

I was amazed at the postural improvements after only four days of classes. Sigrun was an outstanding teacher and guide. Since taking the classes I have been traveling and extremely busy, but still able to use and practice the lessons learned. I definitely recommend the Gokhale Method and look forward to continuing my practice.

I herniated L5-S1 in 1996 and had surgery and herniated it again in 2006 and treated it with osteopathy. But, I wanted something for the long run and finally worked with Esther Gokhale. Her method makes so much sense and she teaches it clearly. Every human would benefit from working with her for long-term health and a pain-free body. It's practical and it was so fun to see my improved posture at t…

Like many other people, poor posture and muscle imbalances have caused me a lot of pain. My doctor told me I had lost a half inch in height, and a compressed nerve in my lumbar spine was causing pain my hip. If I didn't do something, that hump in my back and hip pain would be permanent or even get worse. But I procrastinated.
Then one day an old friend saw me on the same day I had a back spasm…
I took the Gokhale Method workshop with Donna Alden recently. Through a series of workshops, I learned the different aspects of the Gokhale Method. Donna was an exceptional teacher. She is knowledgeable and patient, and has the ability to determine what corrections I needed to make. She provides encouragement along the way. I would highly recommend her for your Gokhale Method journey!

Now after three sessions I am overjoyed to wake up eve…

I am so grateful for discovering the Gokhale Method and attending a Foundations Course after a Consultation. It is still less than 3 months and yet I am already much stronger, frequently pain-free and have a lot more energy. I am still developing the healthy posture habits that will create lasting health because it takes time to re-train muscles, fascia and the skeletal system but I can see the …
Tiffany is amazing, she has such a gentle, clear, and embodied way of teaching the Gokhale method. I felt my nervous system relax as I fell into a remembering of how my body wants to move. This refresher session was incredibly helpful, look forward to more!
After twenty years of back pain and the past two quite severe I found myself considering surgery for herniated discs after PT, Chiro, Massage, and other techniques only temporarily helped. I was sure underlying the pain was an alignment issue. I heard of the Gokhale Method and watched a TED talk, then attended a seminar, and signed up for the 21 day challenge. I experienced good progress, and h…
I am so grateful to the friend who recommended the Gokhale Method to me! I just turned 30, and I have dislocated several disks in my lower back that has caused countless hours of pain and lost time. I am forever grateful to my in person coach, Aurelia. She was so patient and detailed in my healing. She took so much time to intentionally teach me how to correctly sit, stand, bend, reach, lay down, …

I've had lower back pain for years. I took a 6-week individual class with Esther that taught me greater awareness of body posture and movement, and ways to help bring my body into better alignment. My pain is getting better as I keep practicing the techniques that Esther taught me. What surprised me was that these techniques are different from the physical therapy I've received over the years and …
