How many hours of classroom training are dedicated to complementary healing modalities in the Gokhale Method training?

According to the 2024 Gokhale Method Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial training program includes specific classroom hours dedicated to various subjects. The training is held during various intervals during the year depending on the need to train new franchisees. The instructional material may consist of the Teacher's Manual or Policy Statements, scripts, images, checklists, demonstrations, practice, and quizzes. Currently Esther Gokhale conducts the training; she has been teaching postural methods for health improvement since at least 1992.

Specifically, 2 hours of classroom training are dedicated to complementary healing modalities. Additionally, 2 hours are dedicated to rudimentary training in yoga/dance/fitness training. These hours are part of the Immersion Week Course.

Prospective franchisees should note that the cost of the Initial Training is included in the $4,000 franchise fee, but they must cover their own food and lodging expenses during the Immersion Week. The Gokhale® Active (Premium) fee of $140 must be paid yearly from the time of acceptance to the program. Gokhale Active helps prepare accepted candidates for the Immersion Week. Upon completion of Teacher Training Immersion Week, you must pay $240 a year for teacher webinars. Once a year you must pay $450 for the annual teachers' meeting, for which you will also pay food and lodging. This is a required fee and attendance is mandatory. The FDD also states that additional training and refresher courses are required, including attendance at the Annual Meeting (or an approved alternative continuing education program) and participating in teacher webinars.
