What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Gokhale Method Franchise Disclosure Document, the introduction to running a posture business is part of the Immersion Week Course. This segment consists of 2 hours of classroom training.
The Immersion Week course is a component of the Initial Training that franchisees must complete before opening their Gokhale Method franchised business. The Initial Training also includes participation in at least twelve teacher webinars (live or pre-recorded), self-study of the Gokhale Foundations course script and materials, and teaching the full six-lesson Gokhale Foundations course in a one-on-one setting to two separate practice students.
The Immersion Week training takes place at the Gokhale Method headquarters in Palo Alto, California, or at other designated locations. Franchisees are responsible for food and lodging expenses during the Immersion Week. Failing to complete the Initial Training and qualify to teach within six months of attending the Immersion Week may result in the termination of the Franchise Agreement.
