@EstherGokhale, creator of the @GokhaleMethod and named the "Posture Guru of Silicon Valey" by @nytimes, designed her posture practice by keeping things simple, and focusing on the primal, evolutionarily advantageous form and function of the human body.
The result? A method of posture that she claims can cure chronic back pain once and for all. Her book "8 Steps to a Pain-Free Back" has sold over 300,000 copies and is recommended by doctors around the world. For the 80-90% of adult Americans who report having back pain, the Gokhale Method may just be able to help.

Gokhale Method teacher Eric Fernandez in action learning Bachata dance moves. Bachata involve a shearing action of the ribs. Unintentionally, this usually comes with a sway, but it doesn't have to. After you begin learning better posture, you want to apply it to whatever you do.

Are one or more of your gluteal muscles fast asleep? In the Kalahari, glutes get used all day every day. By working them and connecting your mind to those muscles, they become more likely to work in gait, their big everyday exercise opportunity.
The horse stance is used in martial arts to build strength in the legs. Strong feet, legs, and glutes help us to really use the floor and push ourselves forward, sideways, or just in any direction, with our legs working in connection with the ground.(bit.ly/3j9y4we)
When you need to bring your leg up in front of you, don't tuck like this, just lift the leg and keep the behind behind. (High kick by CharlesFred bit.ly/3R1GnXC)
