Kirsten took the course with our Gokhale Method Teacher, Cynthia, who is based in New York City. With Cynthia’s guidance, Kirsten discovered everyday habits she never realized were shaping her posture, how she stands, walks, sits, and even sleeps.

Through simple, practical techniques, the Gokhale Method helps bring the body back into efficient alignment, creating a strong foundation for ease and long-term well-being.

👉 If you are near New York, you can contact Cynthia to begin your own Gokhale journey.

What’s the Best Way to Stretch Your Hamstrings?

Hip-hinge to bend whether you’re feeding your pets, sweeping the floor or setting the table. This simple movement gives your hamstrings a natural, effective stretch throughout the day.

Daily tasks like picking things up or cleaning become built-in flexibility training. This is far more effective than reserving hamstring stretches for a short exercise session.

Hamstring injuries heal slowly because the area has limited blood flow. Nature didn’t expect us to strain them often. Our ancestors hip-hinged routinely, keeping their hamstrings long and resilient. You can do the same by hip-hinging regularly and maintaining a healthy, forward-tipped pelvis.

Join a Gokhale Method Foundations or Elements Course to learn healthy bending that supports lifelong flexibility. Visit us at gokhalemethod.com to get started!

In the new edition, Esther chose to reshoot and personally model every step-by-step image presented without digital manipulation to provide honest, authentic inspiration for students. Healthy posture is possible at any age, and it can help future-proof your body while raising expectations for how well you can move as you grow older.

For example, in the new Glidewalking chapter, you’re not only guided through the technique but also encouraged to “walk the talk” by filming yourself as you walk. This simple exercise helps you see your habitual stance and track your progress.
