01 / 06Access
Limited-time access for seasonal programs.
Wellness sells in seasons — a spring reset, a 30-day challenge, a summer mobility series. Alva Courses lets you sell time-boxed access: enrolment opens the course for a set window, then closes it automatically. The countdown adds gentle urgency, keeps your library curated rather than sprawling, and turns a re-enrolment into a clean new purchase instead of a manual cleanup.
Pair it with drip scheduling and a course can run as a guided cohort — everyone moving through the same sequence, on the same calendar, without you touching a thing once it is live.
02 / 06Player
A calm, branded player in your own store.
Students watch inside your Shopify customer account, not on someone else's platform. The course player is a quiet, distraction-free page with a sidebar lesson list, a progress bar and completion ticks — and it carries your store's theme, fonts and colours. No second login, no subdomain, no competing course catalogue in the margins. The practice stays on-brand from checkout to final lesson.
03 / 06Video
Host long classes without the 10-minute cap.
A 60-minute class is one file, not six. On the Unlimited Pro plan, Alva Video Hosting gives you 50 GB and removes Shopify's 1 GB / 10-minute-per-file limit — so full-length flows upload whole. Prefer to keep videos elsewhere? Embed YouTube, Vimeo, VdoCipher or Loom inside any lesson and Alva Courses plays them in the same branded player.
04 / 06Drip
Drip a 30-day program day by day.
Release lessons a set number of days after each student enrols, so a 30-day program unlocks one practice per day from the moment someone joins. Schedule a lesson to publish on a fixed calendar date for a cohort launch, keep upcoming weeks as Draft until you film them, and require completion before the next lesson so students move through the sequence in order.
05 / 06Live + community
Blend live Zoom sessions with discussion.
Add a Zoom block to any lesson and a weekly live class sits right beside your on-demand library. Native per-lesson comments let students ask questions and share how a pose felt; you moderate, and email notifications tell you when someone posts. A program becomes a small community rather than a folder of videos.
06 / 06Certificates
Certificates & progress for teacher trainings.
For a teacher-training module or a multi-week challenge, Alva Courses awards a custom-designed completion certificate automatically and emails it to the student. The certificate template carries your studio's branding, and a per-course Members Overview shows you progress bars, completion rate and who has finished — so you know who to celebrate and who to nudge.
