Meet David
After more than 30 years working at a desk job in the IT world as well as suffering injuries from multiple car accidents, David sought out alternatives to reduce the pain he had in his back and other parts of his body. Having found the Gokhale Method Foundations Course, David was intrigued by the natural and logical approach of emulating historical and indigenous cultures.
After leaving the IT world and becoming a high school teacher for a few years, David was injured and re-engaged with the Gokhale Method. The ancestrally informed method convinced David that the journey of reducing pain was achievable. As a Gokhale Method Teacher, David loves helping people to regain their natural posture and overcome pain. What has left the biggest impression on David through this journey is learning how amazing our bodies can be when we learn to use them as they were intended to be used.

Free Workshops
In these workshops, you’ll start to learn the why and how of the Gokhale Method. Many workshops begin by showing you how to stretchsit. This is a way of sitting back in a seat and giving yourself gentle traction, which eases compression in your spine and stretches out tight or spasming back muscles. In this short amount of time, you will be introduced to techniques to:
- Reduce or eliminate back, neck, muscle and joint pain
- Prevent muscle and joint degeneration and injury
- Increase your energy, stamina, and flexibility
- Reduce stress and improve your appearance
- Effects are often immediate and last a lifetime.

A 40 minute online initial consultation is a good place to begin your posture journey, especially if you have a complex history of musculoskeletal or health problems. You will receive a comprehensive evaluation of your current posture and how it relates to problems you may be having, a projection of what structural changes are possible, and some key ideas and practices to help you improve your structure immediately and long-term.
Using modern technology allows a two-way online video/audio communication. Our students have found this to be a surprisingly effective way of getting started or refining their understanding of the Gokhale Method techniques.
Our Online Initial Consultation is the best place to start. You'll work one-on-one with a qualified Gokhale Method teacher to pinpoint your specific posture concerns and begin with personalized coaching.
