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.
