Aurora Free
Aurora is made for nutrition, vitality and holistic coaches whose highlight is a retreat. Soft drifting colour, frosted glass cards and a vertical menu rail make your coaching feel calm and a little luxurious, with an optional shop for deposits, programmes and plans.
About this theme
Aurora is built for holistic, nutrition, vitality and energy coaches, and for anyone who hosts wellness retreats. It works just as well for a coach who only works online as for one with a studio and several retreats a year. The look is light and airy: pearl backgrounds with slowly drifting fields of lilac, mint and peach, frosted glass cards, round images and serif headings with one glowing italic word.
On desktop your menu sits in a vertical rail on the left, with a numbered list of pages, your next retreat and your main call to action always in view. On tablets and phones it becomes a slim top bar with a full-screen menu, and a sticky booking bar appears after the hero.
The home page opens with a hero that shows your portrait in a capsule, your review score and your next retreat. Below it come your selling points, a slow keyword marquee, three pillars of your approach, your programmes with prices, your upcoming retreats with dates and number of nights, an about section with credentials, results and testimonials, your latest recipes and journal posts, a newsletter sign-up and a booking band with your studio address and opening hours. You choose the order, and any section can be hidden.
Turn on the online store and Aurora becomes a calm little shop for retreat deposits, online programmes, nutrition plans, guided audio and gift vouchers. The cart and account icons appear in the rail, the home page gets a shop section with category chips, and product pages show round thumbnails, variant choices as pills and a link to book a call for anyone with questions first.
Everything comes from your own SitePack data: events, blog posts, selling points, locations, reviews, products and categories. Programmes can come from the Price list app or from simple fields. Every colour, the corner radius, page width and rail width are settings, so the theme follows your brand.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an online store to use Aurora?
No. Aurora works as a website for coaching and retreats. When you turn on the online store, the cart and account icons, the home page shop section and the product pages appear automatically.
Where do the retreats on the home page come from?
From your upcoming events in SitePack. Aurora shows the first one as a wide card and the next two as smaller cards, with the dates, location and number of nights worked out from the start and end date.
How do I get the booking button in the menu rail?
Mark one menu item as a button in the navigation editor. Aurora places it at the bottom of the rail and reuses its link for the hero, the booking band and the booking bar on phones when they have no link of their own.
Can I change the order of the home page sections?
Yes. The home page template has a section order field: list the sections in the order you want and leave out the ones you want to hide. Sections without content, such as retreats or journal posts, hide themselves.
Where do my programmes and prices come from?
If the Price list app is installed, Aurora uses its items. Otherwise you fill in up to three programmes with their duration, format, includes and price on the home page template.
Which fonts does Aurora use?
You pick the fonts in your design settings. Aurora is designed for Instrument Serif headings with Outfit body text, and works with any other pair you prefer.
