Open, Grounded, Energized: An Exciting New Chapter in My Posture Journey

Written by: Emily Agnew


Hi, I’m Emily Agnew, and excited to share my posture journey.

I first attended a Gokhale weekend Foundations course in 2016, to address a painfully stiff neck. I loved it. I also found it intense.

On top of that, I was rather sore in unexpected places, from using my muscles in new ways.
