Avara — teaching infrastructure
2024-06-01
Calendar-native schedules, workshops, retreats, and hosted pages for movement teachers.
Problem
Movement teachers juggle calendars, Instagram posts, studio software, and email blasts. Students never know which surface is canonical — so they stop trusting updates.
Approach
Treat the teacher's calendar as the source of truth. Generate public pages automatically, let workshops and retreats have their own landing experiences, and give followers a lightweight way to stay in sync without another social feed.
What I shipped
- Teacher profiles with avatar, bio, and location
- Rolling class rhythm derived from calendar events
- Dedicated pages for workshops and retreats with hero imagery and CTAs
- Follow / interest mechanics for email-based updates
Stack (high level)
Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, Supabase, careful edge cases around timezone + recurrence.
Outcome
Dogfooded daily for my own Jivamukti-style teaching in Hamburg — every rough edge shows up in my own inbox first.
