Meet Johanna

Johanna litt über zehn Jahre lang unter chronischen Schmerzen im unteren Rücken, die Sport, Autofahrten und sogar einfache Spaziergänge zur Qual machten. Besuche bei Sportmedizinern, Physiotherapeuten und Chiropraktoren brachten keine dauerhafte Lösung. Nachdem sie auf die Gokhale Method aufmerksam wurde, war sie innerhalb weniger Monate schmerzfrei.
 
Beeindruckt von der Effektivität der Methode und fasziniert von der Idee einer ursprünglichen, für den Menschen natürlichen Körperhaltung, beschloss Johanna, sich 2022 von Esther Gokhale als Lehrerin ausbilden zu lassen, um das wertvolle und uralte Wissen um gesunde Körperhaltung weiterzugeben.
 
Johanna arbeitet außerdem im Marketing für eine große Lebensmittelmarke und verbringt ihre Freizeit gerne in der Natur. Sie kann wieder schmerzfrei wandern, joggen und Yoga machen und liebt es, zu kochen, zu backen und zu fermentieren.
 
Mit großer Begeisterung teilt sie ihre eigenen Erfahrungen rund um einen gesunden Rücken und gibt ihr Wissen über eine gesunde Körperhaltung gerne an andere weiter.
 

Johanna suffered from chronic lower back pain for more than ten years, which made sports, car rides and even simple walks a torture. Visits to sports physicians, physical therapists and chiropractors brought no lasting solution. After becoming aware of the Gokhale Method, she was pain-free within a few months.


Impressed by the effectiveness of the method and fascinated by the idea of an original posture that is natural for humans, Johanna decided to be trained as a teacher by Esther Gokhale in 2022 to pass on the valuable and ancient knowledge of healthy posture.


Johanna also works in marketing for a major food brand and enjoys spending her free time in nature. She is able to hike, jog and do yoga again without pain and loves to cook, bake and ferment.

She is very enthusiastic about sharing her own experiences around a healthy back and enjoys passing on her knowledge about healthy posture to others.

    The basic course with Johanna was also really a benefit because of the many exercises.
     
    Due to Johanna's relaxed manner and the many information, the course is highly recommended.
     
    In addition, there is the astonishing realization that I have apparently been working in the "wrong" direction for years. Time will tell if I can get the problems under control.
     
    As the saying goes....he who heals is right....
     
    Thanks again Johanna

    Have a good time, Ralf

    "Johanna stellt sich auf die Teilnehmerinnen und deren Bedürfnisse ein und erkennt sofort, wo die Probleme liegen und ist dabei supernett, freundlich, offen, sympathisch und trotzdem professionell."

  • Ich habe jetzt wieder die Hoffnung, dass ich im höheren Alter gehen können werde und die Hoffnung, dass ich ab jetzt schmerzfrei wieder leben kann.

  • Yesim Erikli, Berlin, Germany

    "Der Kurs und Frau Picker haben alle meine Erwartungen übertroffen. Jetzt kann ich die positiven Bewertungen der anderen Teilnehmer noch besser verstehen. Diese Methode wird mein Leben positiv ändern, es hat schon begonnen." 
     

  • "Johanna versteht es perfekt, im Grundlagenkurs eine stärkere Körperwahrnehmung und das Bewusstsein und die Fähigkeit zu einer verbesserten Haltung zu vermitteln".

  • Maja Boldhaus

    Ich bin völlig begeistert, was wir alleine durch die "richtige" Haltung im Stehen, Liegen, Gehen erreichen können. Bei mir ist schnell der Wunsch entstanden, dass diese eigentlich so logische Methode in unser medizinisches Verständnis integriert wird.

  • Leslie

    den Grundkurs-Workshop mit dir habe ich sehr genossen!  Der Inhalt war interessant, anregend, und Perspektiven öffnend und deine Art zu unterrichten fand ich sehr bereichernd und hat mir viel Vergnügen bereitet.  Unter anderem würde ich gerne deinen großen Schatz an tiefem Körperbewusstsein und an Erfahrung mit unterschiedlichsten  Bewegungsmustern und Sportarten und deine schöne und großzügige Art und Weise dies alles zu vermitteln hervorheben.  Viele herzlichen Dank!

  • Nina, Managerin, Germany

    Eine tolle Methode, die einfach in den Alltag zu integrieren ist. Bereits nach 2 Wochen Kurs und Anwendung im Alltag sind die Muskeln entspannter und ich fühle mich gut. Dankeschön für diese inspirierende und einfache Methode, die wirkt.

  • Imke Lang-Groth

    Johanna hat mich ambitioniert und überzeugend in die mir bis dato unbekannte Gokhale Methode eingeführt. Schritt für Schritt hat sie mich – auch mit viel Geduld, was den Rippenanker betrifft – eingeführt und angeleitet. Die vorher/nachher Bilder zeigen mir deutlich, was diese Methode bewirken kann. Ich bin sehr angetan und habe mir als weitere Unterstützung das Begleitbuch gekauft. Vielen Dank an Johanna, die eine tolle Trainerin ist.

    Johanna introduced me ambitiously and convincingly to the Gokhale Method, which was unknown to me until then. Step by step she introduced and guided me - also

    Schon direkt nach Ende des Kurses mit Johanna sind meine Schmerzen fast komplett verschwunden. Liebe Johanna, herzlichen Dank für deine Unterstützung bei meinen Problemen im Bewegungsapparat. Ich bin dir und der Gokhale Methode sehr dankbar und habe viele positive Haltungsänderungen im Kurs mitgenommen. Ich kann den Kurs Jedem nur empfehlen (bei Schmerzen, aber auch ohne Schmerzen zur Verbesserung der eigenen Körperhaltung).

    Already directly after the end of the course with Johanna my pain has almost completely disappeared. Dear Johanna, thank you very much for your support with my
