Does the Gokhale Method offer on-the-job training for rudimentary training in yoga/dance/fitness training?

According to the 2024 Gokhale Method Franchise Disclosure Document, the company provides rudimentary training in yoga/dance/fitness training. This training consists of 2 hours of classroom training, but there are no hours of on-the-job training. This training takes place at the location of the Immersion Week Course.

The Gokhale Method requires franchisees to complete initial training to teach their method. This includes one week of training at their headquarters in Palo Alto, California, or other designated locations, participation in at least twelve teacher webinars, 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. Franchisees must also prepare at least six videos in which they record themselves teaching each of the six separate Gokhale Foundations lessons accompanied by self-critiques of each lesson.

If a franchisee does not complete all of the Initial Training and has not qualified to teach within six months of attending the Immersion Week, Gokhale Method may terminate the Franchise Agreement upon 30 days' notice and failure to cure. The cost of Initial Training is included in the $4,000 franchise fee. However, franchisees must pay for food and lodging expenses in connection with attendance at Immersion Week. The Gokhale® Active (Premium) fee of $140 must be paid yearly from the time of acceptance to the program. Upon completion of Teacher Training Immersion Week, franchisees must pay $240 a year for teacher webinars and $450 for the annual teachers' meeting.
