Where does the Gokhale® Consultation training take place for the Gokhale Method?

According to the 2024 Gokhale Method Franchise Disclosure Document, the Gokhale® Consultation training takes place at the "Location of Immersion Week Course". This implies that the training is conducted in person during the Immersion Week. The Immersion Week is held at the Gokhale Method headquarters in Palo Alto, California, or at other designated locations.

Prospective franchisees should note that the Immersion Week is a critical component of the Initial Training. Failure to complete the Initial Training, including the Immersion Week, within six months may result in the termination of the Franchise Agreement. The cost of the Initial Training is included in the $4,000 franchise fee, but franchisees are responsible for their own food and lodging expenses during the Immersion Week.

In addition to the Gokhale® Consultation training, several other training subjects are taught during the Immersion Week, including hands-on techniques related to Gokhale® Foundations, introduction to Gokhale Method philosophy, demonstration of partial memorization of the Gokhale® Foundations course teaching script, teaching skills, voice projection, introductory presentation training, instruction in effective use of images, observation and discussion of select cases for study, review of anatomy relevant to posture, advanced Gokhale Method techniques for self-use only, training in various contexts (outdoors, home-type environment, etc.), complementary healing modalities, rudimentary training in yoga/dance/fitness training, introduction to running a posture business, and introduction to the backend of the website. The Gokhale® Consultation training consists of 5 hours of classroom training.
