Meet Cynthia

As a practitioner in the alternative healthcare field for over 20 years, Cynthia has been committed to offering her patients a pain free, efficient path to wellness. As an acupuncturist and a Bowen Therapist she has observed, over the years, that chronic conditions and injuries were often the result of poor body mechanics. Instinctively, she knew there was something fundamental at the base of good health and freedom from pain that should be part of the way we use our body every single day. She herself has scoliosis and has had pain issues on and off for most of her adult life. So when she read about the Gokhale Method, she enrolled in the Foundations course. Right away she knew that the optimal architecture of the body that was being taught was what she had been thinking about. Becoming a teacher was the logical next step so that she could pass on this wonderful work that had helped her so much.

Prior to her career in the healthcare field, for more than a decade, Cynthia was a professional opera singer and sang as a soloist with regional companies all over the U.S. including the New York City Opera. Because of this connection, she has worked with many performers over the years, including instrumentalists, dancers, actors and singers. The Gokhale Method beautifully supports this community in preventing injuries due to incorrect posture and the overuse of the muscles in these compromised positions. She is thrilled to be able to teach this work to them.
  • Calista H., Occupational Therapist

    Cynthia is an excellent teacher. She is especially good at building the trust relationship needed for fostering subtle changes in how we move our bodies, and being sensitive to a variety of different bodies at the same time. I don’t know how she does it!

  • Carol BB

    I have scoliosis of the spine, arthritis in my right knee from a skiing accident, worn out hamstring tendons and had a major repair of my left shoulder after dislocating and fracturing it last year. Eight months ago I studied the Gokhale Method with Cynthia Rose in a small group setting over a two month time period. I have permanently adopted the walking, sitting and bending postures taught to us by Cynthia and find myself, for the first time in years, pain free. Everything used to hurt. Now if something begins to bother me, I do the spinal stretches in bed and on a chair and before I know it

  • Marcia G.
    The Gokhale Method has been exceptionally useful in helping me understand the placement of the pelvis not only in posture but in all exercises, including yoga. For years, I have tried to eliminate the curve in my lower spine, mistakingly assuming that that was the cause of my back problems. I have since learned through the Gokhale Method that what I was doing to "correct" my pelvis alignment was in fact making my problems worse. Cynthia Rose is a wonderful instructor--clear, empathetic, generous with her time and understanding. Her knowledge in other healing techniques, including acupuncture, enable her to truly understand what's causing a problem and what to do about it. Her analogies brought humor to our lessons as well as effectively conveying instructions. I've benefitted greatly from learning the Method from Cynthia and would highly recommend her as an excellent teacher.
  • Steve B.
    I am so grateful to the Gokhale Method. It has significantly improved my quality of life. Cynthia led me through the various exercises with a detailed knowledge of the process, great patience and good humor. I didn't think the lessons would be so easy to integrate into my daily life. As a graphic artist I am at a desk all day and, over the years, this has taken its toll on my back. I am now able to relieve the stress on my back, spine and neck no matter what I am doing! For anyone, but especially for people like me, I cannot think of a better gift you can give to yourself.
