HEALTHY POSTURE IN THE OFFICE

By: Esther Gokhale

A law office in Tucson, Arizona, arranged for employees and family members to take the Gokhale Method Foundations Course, and there was a significant synergistic effect in their results. Many years after completing the course, they still remind each other to squeeze their glutes and hip-hinge. The office administrator believes that having learned together "reinforced the method within our group. We have an ongoing dialogue." When you learn with a community, the lessons remain alive and growing, showing sustained results that are multiplied and supported by the group.

One of the workers from the law office remarked that "[we] helped each other remember some finer points and details of the techniques after we returned to the office. For example, remembering to use the breath to lengthen the spine when stacksitting, or hip-hinging properly over file cabinets." Undertaking a health initiative in the office introduced health into the conversation, bolstering the warmth and synergy of their office culture. Because of this "group effect," I routinely recommend that students recruit a close friend, colleague or family member into the course with them.

Learning with a community increases retention and enthusiasm.
