Gokhale MethodSM 101 is a 6-session course that gives you lifelong tools for healthy, pain-free posture and movement. You learn to use everyday movements, like lying, sitting and walking to lengthen and reshape your spine. No special equipment or exercise is required, and effects are often immediate.
In six 45-minute private lessons, or six 90-minute group classes, you can change your habits efficiently and profoundly through a combination of verbal explanation, visual materials, and gentle hands-on guidance. The course can:
Reduce or eliminate many kinds of musculoskeletal pain
Prevent joint degeneration
Increase energy, stamina, and flexibility
Improve your circulation and breathing
Reduce stress
Help you look and feel more confident
The group class can accommodate people with mild levels of pain who are able to sit, stand and bend without difficulty, but if you are in significant pain , we strongly recommend the private course.

Our new teen posture course consists of four one-hour classes. High school students (ages 14-18) will learn techniques and tips for maintaining good posture and form during their everyday activities (sitting at school, studying, walking, carrying a backpack, sleeping, etc.)
The emphasis of this course is on posture and preventing pain and injuries in the future. If you have moderate or severe back pain or any related musculoskeletal conditions, the Gokhale Method Foundations (GM 101) course will most likely be safer and more beneficial for you.
The cost of this course is $200, and there will be a maximum of 8 students in the class. Maya White will be the teacher.
Payment and Cancellation Policy for Group Classes:
Payment in full reserves your spot in a group session. You will receive a full refund (except for the $45 registration fee) for cancellations made two weeks before the first day of the course. Extra notice is appreciated, as it helps us accommodate other people in your slot. For cancellations made less that two weeks before the start of the class, we will only be able to accommodate a refund if someone from the waiting list takes your place.
