What is Gokhale Active?

Have fun while you exercise without pain and injury

 

Something for every body, every day

image

  • 17 live classes per week
    Choose from dance, yoga, moving mediation, and strength training. (And if you can’t join live, you can watch the recordings).
  • Exercise without injury
    All our classes have a Gokhale filter, so you can feel confident about exercising without injury—no matter your skill or fitness level.

Stay motivated and form lifelong healthy habits

image

  • Focus on one thing per day
    Each morning you’ll get a short, inspiring email with a photo and blurb on the day’s theme—whether it’s glute strength, rib anchor, or shoulder positioning. That same focus then threads through all our classes for the day, reinforcing your learning.

We’re with you every step of the way

image

  • See and imitate beautiful posture
    Every class is led by a Gokhale Method teacher who embodies what they teach so you can absorb healthy habits through osmosis.
  • Get answers to your questions with live Q&A after most classes.
  • Learn from the source
    Benefit from Esther’s teaching and join her twice-monthly live chats for deeper dives into the method.
  • Resources for living the method
    Tap into 60+ prerecorded tutorials to help you apply the method to everyday life activities like gardening and cooking.

Today's Posture Principle

Tall Neck

Most of us carry our heads a little too forward with an accompanying curve in the back of the neck.  That puts a lot of pressure on the spine, causing compression on the edges of the vertebrae, discs, nerves, and tightening the muscles.

Today, we are going to position the head and neck well and use music and dance to help practice maintaining that architecture through movement.

What is Gokhale Active Premium Plus?

  • All the benefits of Gokhale Active Premium – 15+ live classes weekly with replays, alumni Q&A, tutorial video library, and live chats with Esther.

These tiers are designed for dedicated alumni who want premium support with regular, personalized guidance on top of healthy exercise, at unbeatable value.

Are the classes recorded if I can’t attend live?

Yes, all our classes and Live Chats are recorded except for Q&A sessions (for privacy reasons). For Gokhale Active Premium, recordings are available in your User Dashboard until the next live class of that type airs (i.e. at least 24 hours). For Premium Plus/Premium Plus With Esther, all recordings are available for 7 days after airing.

I’m already a Gokhale Active subscriber. How does upgrading work?

You can upgrade easily and start benefiting right away:

For a monthly subscription:

  • Your payment switches to the Premium Plus/Premium Plus With Esther rate one day before your current membership ends.
  • Your 7-day replay access and option to purchase additional Consultations at the discounted rate ($299 for Esther, $99 for other teachers) benefits start immediately from the day you upgrade.
  • After 3 consecutive months of Premium Plus payments, you receive your first Gokhale Consultation credit. (If you cancel before you have paid 3 consecutive months, the credit is forfeited.)

For an annual subscription:

  • You will be charged the Premium Plus/Premium Plus With Esther price 7 days before your current membership ends.
  • Your 7-day replay access and option to purchase additional Consultations at the discounted rate ($299 for Esther, $99 for other teachers) benefits start immediately.

If your renewal date is some way in the future, you can still book discounted Consultations immediately and pay for them separately at the locked-in discounted rate.

When can I book my included Consultations?

If you are a new subscriber to Gokhale Active Premium Plus or Premium Plus with Esther:

  • For annual Premium Plus and Premium Plus With Esther subscriptions, you can book your 4 included Consultations from Day 1 of your membership.
  • For monthly Premium Plus and Premium Plus With Esther subscriptions, you will receive credits for Consultations quarterly. Your first Consultation will be available to book after the third billing cycle (i.e. from two months after your first payment); e.g. if you begin your subscription on 1 October, you can book your first Consultation from 1 December onwards, your second from 1 March, etc..

If you upgrade Premium Plus or Premium Plus with Esther from Gokhale Active Premium:

  • You will have access to unlimited additional discounted Consultations and 7-day replays for all classes—immediately from the date that you upgrade.
  • You will need to wait to book your included Consultations until your current subscription renews and your credit card is charged (or charged for the third time in the case of monthly subscriptions).

Do I still get 4 Consultations per year if I pay monthly?

Yes. For both Premium Plus and Premium Plus With Esther, you still get an included Consultation every quarter when you opt for a monthly subscription rather than an annual one. However, where annual members can book all 4 of their Consultations immediately once their first Premium Plus payment is processed, monthly members receive Consultation credits at the rate of one credit for every 3 payments. Please note: if you cancel before a Consultation credit is issued, that upcoming credit is forfeited.

How long are my Consultation credits valid?

Credits are valid for 12 months from the date they are credited to your account.

Can I book extra consultations beyond the ones included in the Premium Plus subscriptions?

Yes. You can book as many additional Consultations at the relevant discounted rates ($299 for Esther, $99 for other teachers) as you like.

Are discounted Consultations valid for in-person sessions?

At this time, consultation credits are valid only for online consultations. We are evaluating whether we are able to extend this to in-person sessions in the future.

What if I decide to cancel before the end of my subscription term?

All subscriptions are automatically renewed. Cancellation can be done easily at any time through your User Dashboard or by contacting our Customer Support team.

Annual subscriptions must be cancelled at least 8 days prior to the renewal date. However, your access will continue for the full 12 months. There are no refunds or credits if you cancel before the end of the subscription term.

Monthly subscriptions can be cancelled up until the day before renewal, and you’ll keep full access until the end of your current month. Please note that if you cancel before a Consultation credit becomes available, that upcoming credit is forfeited.

Is Gokhale Active suitable for people with injuries and/or health conditions?

Our classes are suitable for all ages and fitness levels. You can tailor each session to your needs by selecting the weight, pace, and range of motion that feel right for you.

All our classes are led by qualified Gokhale Method teachers, who demonstrate safe techniques and offer a variety of modifications so you can participate comfortably—whether you’re a beginner, returning after a break, or looking for a challenge.

If you are in significant pain or have an injury—especially a spinal injury—we recommend taking (or retaking) one of our beginner courses before joining Gokhale Active, or working one-on-one with a teacher to ensure you’re practicing the movements safely.

Do I need special equipment or software to join the classes?

You will need to have Zoom installed on your device. For online Consultations, you will also need a camera and microphone.
