About the program
Secrets to Pain-Free Sitting with Esther Gokhale covers the Gokhale Method techniques of stretchsitting and stacksitting in a variety of contexts. These techniques change sitting from something bad for you into something good for you. They also teach how to turn bad chairs into good chairs. Sitting becomes not only comfortable, but therapeutic.
To further augment the benefits of skillful sitting, Secrets to Pain-Free Sitting teaches vibrant exercises and movements to break up your work day. These productivity boosters will help mitigate the tightening of the psoas, rounding of the shoulders, and settling of the spine that frequently affects people who sit for long periods. The samba break is a highlight.

Esther Gokhale has created a special 1-hour workshop that accompanies the TV program. In this online workshop you’ll start to learn the why and the how of Gokhale Method style sitting.
