## Description

Pranava brings the feeling of a quiet studio to your website: oat, sage and clay colours, Marcellus headlines, soft blob-shaped photos and a slowly breathing circle. It is built on the Symelo education foundation, so classes, courses, teacher trainings and retreats are real content with schedules, prices, teachers and booking requests, and it needs no plugins.

* **Classes and courses:** drop-in classes, six-week courses, teacher trainings and retreats with dates, prices, levels, curriculum, reviews, FAQ and a booking card. In-person classes show a click-to-load map of the venue.
* **Weekly timetable:** a days-by-times grid of class cards, with today's column highlighted, plus a strip of the next start dates.
* **Teachers:** profiles with monograms (or photos) in organic shapes, styles they teach, credentials and their classes.
* **Class finder:** search and filter by practice style, level and format, on the home page and the classes archive.
* **Memberships:** a pricing comparison of plans, and a comparison table of programmes.
* **Built-in forms:** booking and contact forms, a newsletter signup and class inquiry forms. Messages are stored in wp-admin → Messages and emailed to you.
* **Patterns:** five heroes (class finder, breathing circle, bamboo video, retreat spotlight, coming-up strip), practice styles, teachers, reviews, an intention quote band, first-class-free and newsletter calls to action, galleries, video, FAQ, a day on retreat, maps, and full pages (About, Contact, Retreat, Gallery, Studio landing).
* **Templates:** home (journal), single post, page, wide page, landing page, retreat page, archive, search, 404, and designed class, teacher, style and level pages.
* **Light and dark:** a visitor switch between Sage (light) and Moon (dark), and four style variations: Sage, Moon, Clay and Ocean.
* **Motion with care:** gentle reveals, a slow blob morph and a breathing animation, all switched off when visitors prefer reduced motion.

Pranava works best with Secure Custom Fields (free), which adds the class fields to the editor. Without it, everything still displays.

A demo set (Appearance → Import demo) adds eight classes and courses, five teachers, practice styles and levels, and Home, Timetable, Retreats, About and Contact pages with a menu.

## Frequently Asked Questions

#### Where do form messages go?

Every form (booking, contact, newsletter, class inquiries) saves messages in wp-admin → Messages and emails the site admin. Change the recipient in the form block's settings, or for class inquiries under Courses → Settings.

#### How do I edit the weekly timetable?

The timetable is a pattern: insert "Weekly timetable" and edit the day columns and class cards like any other blocks. Each class card is a paragraph with the time, the class name and the teacher. Today's column is highlighted automatically.

#### How do I add a class or a retreat?

Go to Courses → Add new. Set the schedule under "Start dates" (one row per date with its schedule text and seats), the price and the format. In-person classes with coordinates show a map.

#### How do I add a video to a class or post?

Use the "Featured video" panel in the editor sidebar. The video replaces the featured image on the page, and the image is shown until the video is played.

#### Can I turn off the animations?

Visitors who prefer reduced motion never see them. To remove an entrance animation from a block, clear it in the block's Motion panel.

#### How does dark mode work?

The sun and moon button in the header switches between the light and dark palette and remembers the choice. Each style variation has its own dark palette.
