Description of Franchised Business
Under your Body & Brain franchise (referred to in this Disclosure Document as your "Business" or your "Center"), you will focus on offering the physical aspects of Body & Brain holistic products and services. In particular, you will establish and operate a business that provides holistic health and natural healing programs to individuals and small groups and sells related products. Body & Brain Centers offer Dahn Yoga classes, including dieting programs, Tai-chi programs, exercise programs, relaxation programs, natural healing programs and life coaching. Many of the exercises are brain-based, meaning they are designed to encourage normal brain wave functions, which allows the human body to take advantage of its natural healing power. You will utilize integrative lifestyle coaching to help people develop a healthy lifestyle using certain tools, such as counseling, exercise, media content and related products. You will utilize the Solar Body Method, which is a systemized training method that strengthens the body's natural healing capacity. The products sold by Body & Brain franchisees include books, uniforms, clothing, dietary supplements, skin care products, subscriptions to online programs (including changeyourenergy.com), and various devices that assist with the health and natural healing programs.
As part of your Business, you will also have the opportunity to receive referral fees if you refer your members to certain of our affiliated companies (including BBYHC) and they participate in a workshop, retreat, or other program offered by the affiliated company.
