Of all the self-care things I have tried these past years, this was the most impactful. Aches and pains were increasingly hindering my quality of life - something I thought was inevitable at worst and a big hurdle to overcome at best. I came across the Gokhale method, purchased the book, about a year later attended a free workshop, and then signed up for the Foundations Course taught by Aurelia Vaicekauskas. The course was eye opening, doable, and so impactful. Aurelia taught the course with clear explanations, illustrations and visualizations that not only showed what to do, but why, making it more meaningful and easier to remember. She knows the method so well that she had no problem answering any and all our questions. Taking the course provided hands-on work that the book can’t provide, and Aurelia was wonderful with this. She patiently observed and tweaked our stances with an overall demeanor and approach that created a comfortable and safe environment in which to learn. The awareness of my body and the tools within my power to improve how I use it has been the biggest gift of this course. I look forward to continuing on this path. It's a motivating and exciting one to be on!
