FRANCHISE ENQUIRIES OPEN · LIMITED LICENCES
“The Ayurvedic prescription system is not a marketing concept. It is how yoga was always meant to be taught. And it is now the most distinctive wellness offering available to franchise.”
✦ Proprietary Ayurvedic system · Exclusive territory | Trained by Sumit personally | Full curriculum · 33 yoga forms | From £50,000 / AED 250,000
THE OPPORTUNITY
The global wellness industry is growing, yet most yoga franchises offer only classes, mats and instructors. LYW is built around a distinct Ayurvedic prescription system.
The Prakriti quiz, class mapping and corporate profiling framework took 25 years to build. No other yoga brand has packaged this as a franchisable system. When you licence LYW, you licence something that cannot be replicated from scratch.
The corporate wellness model generates B2B revenue a standard studio cannot access. Emirates, PepsiCo and Kellogg’s are existing clients. Corporate contracts provide recurring revenue independent of class attendance.
Himalayan trained. DSVV Haridwar Post Graduate Diploma. This is not a brand story — it is a verifiable 25-year teaching tradition that gives every franchise an authority modern yoga brands cannot manufacture.
What the licence includes
A franchise licence is not a logo and a style guide. It is access to a complete operating system — curriculum, technology, training, support and a brand that has been built over 25 years.
Full rights to operate under the Lifestyle Yoga World name and identity in your defined territory. One franchise per city — exclusive, protected and non-competing. Your territory is yours.
The complete proprietary methodology: the Prakriti quiz, all 33 class formats mapped to doshas, the corporate profiling framework, seasonal protocols, dietary integration guides and the Dinacharya lifestyle system. This is the product.
Your studio's teachers trained personally by Sumit in the full LYW curriculum — classical yoga, the Ayurvedic dosha system, pranayama prescription and corporate delivery. The same training that has produced 500+ teachers across 40 countries.
Access to the LYW Prakriti quiz system, branded booking platform setup (Punchpass), website template with the full Ayurvedic content system, SEO structure, and the Zoho Campaigns email automation sequences.
Complete Canva Brand Kit, 30-day social media content templates, Meta and Google ad frameworks, corporate pitch deck, workshop templates and the full content marketing strategy that LYW uses in Dubai.
Introduction to the LYW corporate methodology, proposal templates, pricing frameworks, the Team Prakriti Profiling programme and direct guidance from Sumit on winning and retaining corporate contracts in your market.
Direct WhatsApp access to Sumit for programme guidance. Quarterly review calls. Annual in-person training visit in year one. You are not handed a manual — you are brought into a relationship with the founder.
Lifestyle Yoga has operated at the Shangri-La Hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road for 17 years. The Ayurvedic system you are licensing has been refined across 10,000+ students, 500+ teacher trainees and corporate programmes for some of the world’s most demanding organisations. It is not a concept. It is a tested, operating business.
Clients: Emirates · PepsiCo · Kellogg’s · Fairmont · Shangri-La · flydubai

FROM ENQUIRY TO OPENING
The Ayurvedic prescription system cannot be assembled from publicly available knowledge. It took 25 years to build. No competitor — no matter how well funded — can replicate it quickly. You are buying a genuine moat.
Group classes, memberships, class packs, private sessions, corporate contracts, workshops and teacher training. The LYW model is not dependent on class attendance — corporate and private revenue provide diversification that a standard yoga studio cannot offer.
Post-pandemic wellness demand is structural and permanent. The premium segment is growing fastest. Ayurveda as a category is mainstream in the GCC, India and Southeast Asia. Classical yoga has credibility that modern wellness trends cannot match. The timing for this franchise is optimal.
Shangrila Dubai. 25 years. Himalayan lineage. BKS Iyengar. National champion. 500 teachers. These are not marketing claims — they are verifiable facts that position LYW above every other yoga brand in the markets where you will compete.
In every LYW target market — Riyadh, London, Singapore, Mumbai — there is a large, underserved corporate wellness market. The Team Prakriti Profiling programme gives you a B2B sales vehicle that your competitors do not have. One corporate contract can cover a month of studio operating costs.
Sumit Manav trains your teachers personally. He attends your launch. He answers your WhatsApp. This is not a faceless franchise operation — it is a direct relationship with the person who built the system. That relationship is itself an asset.
