What you licence
“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.”

  • THE OPPORTUNITY

Not a yoga studio franchise. An Yoga & Ayurvedic intelligence franchise.

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.
01
The only Ayurvedic prescription system in commercial yoga
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.
02
Corporate revenue from day one
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.
03
Lineage that no competitor can claim
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.
  • Team Prakriti Profiling

The complete LYW system.

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.
01
LYW brand licence · exclusive territory
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.
02
The Ayurvedic prescription system
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.
03
Teacher training by Sumit
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.
04
Digital infrastructure
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.
05
Marketing & campaign assets
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.
06
Corporate client acquisition support
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.
07
Ongoing support from Sumit directly
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.
The proof of concept
Built and proven at Shangri-La Dubai since 2009
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
Why the timing matters

Franchise partners who come on board during this period enter with the freshest brand momentum, the newest content assets and the strongest competitive positioning. Early markets receive preferential terms.

  • The case for LYW

What makes this the right franchise.

A genuinely proprietary product
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.
Multiple revenue streams from day one
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.
The market moment is now
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.
The brand carries authority no competitor has
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.
Corporate wellness is the B2B engine
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.
A founder who teaches, not delegates
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.
FRANCHISE QUESTIONS

What franchisees ask us.

Both. We deliver sessions at Shangri-La studio on Sheikh Zayed Road and at your premises across Dubai. On-site delivery requires a clear space and we bring equipment.

We work with groups of 6 to 40 people. Prakriti assessment sessions are ideal up to 25 people; yoga and breathwork delivery can accommodate up to 40 with assistant teachers.

None. Corporate programmes are designed for people who have never practiced yoga. Breathwork for Business requires no mat, flexibility or prior knowledge.

We use pre and post wellbeing surveys tracking stress, sleep, energy and engagement. Longer contracts can include quarterly reporting for HR and leadership.

Sessions are delivered in English with Arabic translation available on request. Printed materials can also be provided in Arabic for an additional fee.

Team Prakriti Profiling is available as a single standalone engagement. For Dosha Wellness Programme, three months is recommended for meaningful impact.
  • Request the prospectus

Start the Conversation.

The prospectus covers the method in full, the commercial and royalty structure, the support architecture, market-specific modelling and the current territory position. It is sent within two working days of a qualified enquiry.

There is no partnership sales team. Enquiries are read by Sumit and one colleague. If the market and the profile fit, you will hear from him directly — and if they do not, you will hear that too, quickly, rather than being nurtured for six months.
