Gokhale SpineTracker™
SpineTracker consists of a wearable component—five small sensors that are placed vertically from the sacrum up the lumbar spine—and a mobile app, which communicates with the sensors to show the shape of your spine in real time, as you move.
This wearable enhances understanding of the concepts and techniques presented in the Gokhale Method. SpineTracker allows the student greater autonomy in judging their posture against their personal ideals, and measuring their progress in class.
Where Can I Find SpineTracker™?
Anyone can use SpineTracker under the guidance of a qualified Gokhale Method teacher. This wearable is unique in that it is not a standalone posture solution, but goes hand in hand with the education and training you receive with the Gokhale Method. Proper usage of SpineTracker requires a Gokhale Method teacher to help the student find and set posture ideals, to interpret the visuals in the app, and make healthy adjustments.
