What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Gokhale Method Franchise Disclosure Document, the 'Gokhale System' refers to the materials, procedures, and protocols used for teaching the Gokhale Method. The Gokhale Method itself is defined as a method for restoring Primal Posture as seen in young children, ancestors, and people in non-industrial cultures.
The Gokhale System is a crucial element of the franchised business, as franchisees are granted the right to teach it. The approved formats for teaching the Gokhale System include various in-person sessions such as Free Workshops, Gokhale Consultations, Gokhale Foundations Group Courses, and One-on-One Courses. These formats cater to different student needs and preferences, from introductory sessions to customized lesson plans.
The Gokhale Method emphasizes hands-on, in-person teaching to 'Consumer Students'. The Free Workshop serves as a promotional tool to introduce prospective students to the principles and benefits of the Gokhale Method. More detailed information and updates regarding the Gokhale System and its teaching methods are available in the Teachers' Manual, ensuring that franchisees have access to the latest guidelines and resources.
